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!。40年前的一个深夜，凤阳县小岗村的十八位农民，在包产到户的“生死状”上，按下了一颗颗鲜红的手印，一个只有三十余户居民的自然村，写下了中国农村改革这部壮阔史诗的序章，40年过去了，在这个有着巨大社会影响力的村落里，中国农村和中国农民，到底正在经历怎样的命运转变？。明朝年间，兵部尚书麾下的百户段天昊为查出倭寇与阉党勾结销赃的证据，加入锦衣卫，几年来一直潜藏在太监总管张公公身边。就在他终于得到线索，准备与多年兄弟总旗苏子峪里应外合抓住犯人时，兵部尚书刘大人得到阉党利用倭寇陷害福州知府的线报，并派出段天昊的弟弟段天麟到倭寇处卧底。段天昊与苏子峪只得放弃到手的功劳，前往福州，却不曾料到竟是一场有去无回的凶险之旅。。
