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!。根据鲁迅同名小说改编。 清朝末年，统治阶级为维护其摇摇欲坠的统治，疯狂镇压革命。他们押解革命党人游街示众，企图杀一儆百。坐落在小镇临街的华老栓茶馆的门前，一群清朝的遗老遗少们，看着没留辫子的囚犯，齐声斥责这些'孙中山的同伙'是'奸党逆贼'。革命者夏瑜听了他们的一派胡言，无比愤慨。教书先生夏瑜家中只有寡母夏四奶奶，他们子孝母贤，过着清贫的生活。一天夜里，夏瑜忍痛离开年迈的老母，来到一座桥下刺杀了路过这里的满清巡抚。事后，夏瑜的亲伯父夏三爷竟告发了他，致使他被捕入狱。华老栓与老伴华大妈，靠经营小茶馆度日。他们年过半百，只有一个儿子华小栓。小栓聪明伶俐，虽然年纪轻，却患有肺痨病。老栓夫妇不停地给他调治，但始终不见效果。这天清晨，花白胡子、二十多岁相继来到茶馆，要老栓买人血馒头给小栓治痨病。老栓告诉他们，已托驼背五少爷和康大叔办理。夏瑜在狱中被打得遍体鳞伤，...。
