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!
对我个人来言，是继18年《我不是药神》后看过最好的电影，没有之一，160分钟的片长，几度反转。电影拍到这个份上，我甚至想不出用什么词语来形容他了。中国人会不由自主的联想到最近的唐山事件，强烈推荐。
只有印度这种打肿脸充胖子的「第三世界民主国家」才能勾勒出这样光怪陆离人格分裂的魔幻图景：永远蒙昧绝望腐败，永远自我纠偏热泪盈眶……
不断反转之中，逻辑也合情合理。但是信奉甘地这个点我很不喜欢，非暴力不合作，本身就是”假革命“啊~
“正义警察”严惩凶手，民众狂欢。
3.5马拉雅拉姆语电影果然还是主题先行，革命至上，这部电影基本就是把印度近几年的一些热点事件（警察抓到强暴女孩的“罪犯”制造遭遇事件后全民叫好、政党在大学中扶持代理人，一个学生会选举就能演变为大型暴力事件现场，印人党依靠宗教组织裹挟选民，种姓歧视根深蒂固，腐败的政客和矿产资源的开采交易等等）正是因为如此在这锅大杂烩中难以清晰地梳理出主线来（其实主线是政党政治与法律公正的较量），“宿敌”的剧情也是只占据了电影的后半部，且人物刻画很肤浅（始终没想到那个记者角色有什么作用），观众也始终处于被操控的位置，在前部我们上了导演的当，对“罪犯”之死拍手叫好，但最后却发现我们在“后真相的时代”忽略了坚持“真相”最重要的一点，那就是要忠于良心与理性，即使是站在少数人那边，
过誉，隔靴搔痒。视听感像电影，情绪煽动性极强的新闻专题片。配乐和歌曲不错，歌曲部分常速欣赏，其它1.5倍速飘过。以现实中印度强暴案的体量和深层根源来看，都改编电影直到看吐也难有改变的一天。电影其实是以谋杀而非强暴致死来规避风险，在没有原型事件情况下编拍并通过印度电影审查，国情不同，无需代入。2022·6·28 8.6/2189 短评889条 %83/13/4 【IMDb8.4/8300 全球票房313.51万美元】
这里面有种姓问题也有性别问题，但核心的还是法律程序问题。虽然程序正义未必就是实质正义，但程序正义是最接近实质正义的方式，没有程序正义，任何人所以为的正义也都是以为而已。
印度真的敢拍啊，这一部电影讨论的东西真的太多了，从女性到种族，从导师霸凌到强权操控，从学生游行寻求真相到媒体舆论操控真相。任何一个主题都够拍一部电影了，而本片尽管有这么多的元素却又合情合理。当然最后的结局有些理想化，还是个人英雄主义挑战强权。
韩国以及印度的电影，为何敢于这么拍出黑暗，国内连拍都不敢吧，敢拍的导演演员肯定直接被封杀，几乎不可能过审，都让国民活在童话之中，感谢韩国印度拍的这种电影，让我们看清楚人性
前半部分和后半部分完全是两个电影的感觉 前半部分以为只是就是个印度常见简单的js案 没想到从法庭部分开始峰回路转几重反转 真相令人震惊 比韩国人还敢拍 当印度都开始文化自信时…后面的话就不说了
这脑洞，这反转，这揭露，这美女，值得给五星
反转还是可以的，就是慢镜头和配乐太抒情了，导致后面的反转风格不搭。
结尾差点意思，总体来说很不错，看完了能引发人的思考。
2022发现的第一部评分过誉电影。
为了反转而反转，剧情夸张，音乐夸张，但有一些台词写得不错。
真相的多次反转，将故事的不同片段拼凑成完整的故事，不同的角度看到的是完全不同的故事，从英雄到黑手再到英雄，冒头仍然直指盘踞多年的种姓制度，不仅是好人受到种姓制度的伤害，哪怕是坏人也如此。女性歧视、高校腐败、政治黑暗、无良媒体、高压手段等等社会问题都集中展现出来。电影未必值得这么高的分数，不过却散发出了与种姓制度抗争到底的点点火种，时间的设定如此的近也説明了问题的根深蒂固以及任重道远，也有对未来胜利的期待
良心发现，英雄出现，民众狂欢。
让提出问题的人闭嘴的政治
最近看的几部印度电影，杰伊比姆、一个星期四和这部，都有反转，都在批判，揭露印度社会体制问题，虽然掀起反抗的都是个人，似乎仅凭借个别人的力量是无法撼动问题的根本的，而且他们的做法现实中可行性、成功率太低，印度的问题是错综复杂的绝不仅仅是影片指出的体制问题。但总归有人在反思，哪怕这个国家糟透了。
校园腐败，司法腐败，政府腐败，
