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!
瀑布是持续落水来形容压力真是再好不过。只要远离了瀑布，就会看到彩虹啊。
当一切如瀑布倾泻而下，是一代代坚韧的女性让生命得以继续流淌。
怎么可以这么好，完全不输诺兰三部曲，一部超级英雄电影可以看到希区柯克、波兰斯基、德帕尔马等等大导的影子，尽显黑色电影之魂和古典英雄之美，三个小时就如同在聆听一场跌宕起伏的交响音乐会，韵律感和孤独感贯穿始终，毫无疑问，马特就是下一个大卫·芬奇！
❤️蛇出来那一下，如果是我，我可能没法做到信任，妹妹太了不起了
看到前1/3的时候，想着“我还是比较想看老钟继续讲庶民故事”。往下看才发现，不管他讲什么总有能精准打到我的点。“钟家班”全部解锁完毕！
没懂这个结尾的意义？感觉要是开头穿插一下结尾的画面做一个吊胃口的引子会不会好点...整体氛围非常舒服，很喜欢钟孟宏镜头下对生活气息的掌握，平静的海面之下隐藏着暗流的那种感觉。色调舒服的画面有种现在和过去交织的那种氛围感，尤其配上台湾的建筑和街道，别有味道。音乐和光影也大大提升了电影的氛围，戏剧感的配乐太赞了!前半段母女关系的张力太棒，对比之下感觉后半段有些平。总感觉有些地方不够充实。总之很值得一看！！王净的表现太棒了 故事感很强 水灵的眼神带着一股狠劲
当你做出一流的氛围，带着二流的想法，拍一个三流剧本就会这样。
Why so serious?? 居然比扎导版更一本正经… 绷三个小时真的有点累。追车戏看得很爽，文戏亮点不多。
3.5。结尾跟蓝白红之《红》一摸一样，但整个故事又有点像《蓝》，二月十四看也恰如其分，贾静雯这种病理比较难拍，这可能也是很多观众代入不进去的原因，我也挺难忍受的，好在小静这个角色十分完美，在加上BGM实在是太好听，后面的重启人生沉稳扎实，我感觉到了一种非常踏实的欣慰感，钟孟宏电影的情感浓度，人物状态都没得说，他最大的毛病就是对话台词效率太低，比如房间里有蛇，我就知道一定有蛇，还有就是听见嗡嗡声，我就知道一定是瀑布，作为观众老这么抢答式的预判成功是很崩溃的，他改掉这个我是非常期待他以后的作品。
贾静雯控制的好好，王净也很出彩，喜欢陈以文骂人考驾照的梗，喜欢黄信尧性感的声音。尽管蛇出没和结尾洪水爆发的点能猜到，但是仍是一部佳作。前部分看进去了，后半部分的力度就出来了。
贾静雯的表达好细腻好真实 疫情之下我们都需要互相支持和救赎
室内景、推拉镜时常联想到《寄生虫》，剧本比起《阳光普照》显得匠气，台词矫揉造作，直直地想要把隐喻抖露出来，并且显得画蛇添足，难道必须得出现瀑布声？结尾交剪是否必要？该留白的地方，全被“前后呼应”填满了，同时反复点题（比如魏如萱的角色在用力表达情感的同时显得毫无人物性），幸而钟孟宏是明白如何煽情的，在结构和视听上精于引导（几个意象：医院前灯箱布、蓝色防水布、蛇、马赛克）。
【7.5】佳作有余，神作不足。开头非常精彩，黏糊糊的雨夜、沙哑的独白、还有仿佛从《漫长的万圣节》里走出来的哥谭市，整体黑色侦探电影的氛围非常对味。可惜风格上带来的新鲜感过后，电影没有能带来更多能抓人眼球的亮点。虽然后面的剧情也有不少有趣的idea，但缓慢的故事推进、只有侦探氛围却无推理解谜爽感的风格、以及这个缺乏炫酷动作戏与高科技而甚至比贝尔蝙更像一个普通人的蝙蝠侠，还是削弱了片子整体的观赏性，无论是普通观众还是老爷粉可能都无法从中得到最大的满足。最后导致本片虽然有好想法，但没能以最好的方式把这些好想法串联起来….略可惜
我看到一半就知道导演取材生活。
故事简单和人物装逼只能取其一，两个都占还好看的不多。
【Inferior】D
疫情的隔离突如其来，母女间的隔离早就存在，照顾与被照顾的身份在转换。变故逼人成长，陪伴消解磨难。和阳光普照很像，这很钟孟宏。
最让我感动的两个点：妈妈了解自己的状况并一直努力让自己变好，女儿真的做到了站在妈妈的角度上去理解她。为贾静雯的演技私心多打一分
贾静雯是演得好，但导演前半段猛拆楼人生处处下坡路，后半段猛盖楼一切都在好转。这么拍意义有限，触底不反弹才真吧…又想起万箭穿心
摄影是强项，但摄影风格和故事本身有割裂感，剧作处理也不太成熟， 有很多的道具人来了又走，没留下任何意义，意象的处理也比较刻意，状态在八点档和艺术片之间来回徘徊。但也比同题材《一念无明》要好得多。
