Umberto Lenzi is undoubtedly the king of Italian crime movies, but unfortunately; Syndicate Sadists is not the best examples of his work in this genre. Lenzi's crime flicks tend to be a cut above the rest because he makes films based on stories with a point, and they don't lack direction; but this film feels a bit too wayward to fully fit with the rest of his stuff. The film takes obvious influence from Sergio Leone's landmark western 'A Fistful of Dollars' (which in turn, took influence from Akira Kurosawa's landmark samurai flick Yojimbo), in that it features two warring families and a strong character at the centre. The crime that Lenzi focuses on is kidnapping, and we centre on a character called 'Rambo'. Rambo is dragged into the war between the two families after his brother is killed because of it. Rambo uses his brains and brawn to pit the two families against one another, in the hope of gaining revenge for his brother's death, rescuing a young boy that they've kidnapped, and ultimately letting the two sides destroy one another.
The film's biggest asset is undoubtedly Tomas Milian. Milian was put to great use by Lenzi in almost all of his crime thrillers. The range of characters he has played for Lenzi is immense, and this one is easily one of the coolest. The character is called Rambo, which immediately sprang to mind the popular Sylvester Stallone character - but for once, the Italians actually haven't stolen this name as Syndicate Sadists was released first! As usual, the film is wickedly entertaining, as we get to watch Milian get himself involved in the usual array of car chases, shootouts and brawls. Lenzi has got him riding a motorbike this time round, and every scene featuring it and Milian is a real standout! However, the film often feels like it doesn't really have anywhere to go, and this means that the running time is stretched out more than it should be. Compared to the crime films of other Italian directors, Syndicate Sadists is more than above average; but in relation to Lenzi crime flicks such as Almost Human and The Cynic, The Rat and The Fist - it doesn't stand tall as one of Lenzi's best. Still, if you're looking for ninety minutes of testosterone fuelled mayhem - Syndicate Sadists will suffice!
《韩国都市怪谈》导演洪基元，首部电影长片，呈现形式上实则依旧是10部短小精悍的短篇故事集。看作剧集的成功，令导演在本片的发挥上，有着更为惊人的表现力，和艺术思想成分的加成。除了猎奇、奇观化的视听呈现，高度类型化的叙事方式，部分短片虽良莠不齐，但看到了主创们的努力，在影片对现实的关照上，希冀有一些现实向的启发，虽然这个目标，从呈现结果倒退上来说，有些差强人意。但从影片完成度上来说，的确有被惊吓到。尤其类似于《衣柜》、《寄生虫》和《层间噪音》等，短片故事本身已经形成了一个单元完整性。PS：导演选角能力还是蛮出色的，男演员群体的颜值都很在线，代表了东亚审美的一种普遍趋势和潮流。韩国把潮流文化立于根本之国策上，不得不佩服这种年轻向、面向未来的国家格局。在吸引外资上，韩国文化产业也淌出了一条成功之路。
我还是觉得韩国恐怖片在创意这一点上，二十年来就没什么长进，虽然十个故事里的演员演技都不尬，颜值也挺高，但也没法掩盖剧情本身的白烂……优点是，可以轻松地打发掉2个小时的休息时间~
十个小故事，一个比一个降智，成功把我看困了
贾樟柯-平遥电影节的入选节目。讲述了生活在市中心旧大楼的几个孩子和家庭在大楼拆迁前后的生活画面，反映了这个国家的破旧，普通百姓的努力与艰难。叙事平淡，转场有些生硬，可以当纪录片来看
——2022.1.8
柬埔寨和马来的影像表达虽然都很东南亚，潮湿、炫目、克制，但还是有很多的不同。
茶余饭后休闲看看还是不错的，没什么让人眼前一亮的情节。
平遥电影节北京分展见到贾科长。朋友远走 大厦倒塌 父亲截肢 儿女离去 不管哪个阶段都一直在告别和失去。
我觉得还行吧，没那么差，解闷看可以的，《齿虫》可以扩展一个长片哎～
管理员被人偶模特追杀并完成灵魂替换
5分「橱柜」和「人形模特」两个故事还可以 其他的几个都特别普通
霉斑和脚疮一起扩散，电视里是抗议、拆建、老屋、老墙。挚友分开，梦想隔绝，噩梦复现在大楼倒塌之前。用蚊香驱散蚊虫的这个雨季，蝉鸣了一个夏天。
杀垃圾时间的凑数电影，可惜我连三星都欠奉。但居然还有宇少的雪娥来客串傻白甜，简直了。
22年还在用实在的手法，一心一意去吓观众的恐怖片，值得褒奖
这些年这种短篇集的恐怖电影合集越来越多，泰国的鬼3鬼4开始，韩国也开始了，10个小故事还不错，只是恐怖片好像在全世界都进入了瓶颈期，很少有特别精彩的…
“楼层噪音”前段悬疑对比塑造得不错，后面直接往奇幻方向走。而且毫无原因，明明是发现了夫妇，是一种解救为何了结了他。而隔壁女子如何解释也没有下文。
当城市化落到每个人的头上 还不错啊 感觉分低了
是贾樟柯会喜欢的电影，第一个朋友故事与第二个家庭故事多少有些脱节，影像是美的，喜欢男三的面具，还有三个骑摩托的女孩。
很像男团女团参加恐怖主题综艺时候的小短片。 下饭，给三星。
很适合矫情文青看的一部电影。与其说是一部电影，不如说是一个贫困的家庭在一个贫困的国家的监控录像。实在很难鉴赏出其中有什么电影美学价值与意义，几个镜头看的我几乎干呕。抱歉啊，我没法共情他们的痛苦与快乐，我只是为他们感到可怜。
