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!
落后的国家，落后的体制，竟然为了博取选民的投票而费劲心思操控司法和媒体，真是笑死我了，还好我在中国
末世公路片这个题材都开始了...公路片行走的哲思为内核，我竟然被两个机器人感动到了呜呜呜...白西装白礼帽的老头永远是绅士帅气的呀..阳光下的遮阳伞这一幕，美好的东西竟然让人如此难过😫真是让人鼻酸的故事...
其实我比较伤心的是，小狗狗肯定会和芬奇一样死去，那杰夫怎么办啊
题材不错，反转还行，剪辑和节奏不太行，少用点升格就好了。
故事很震撼，电影不太行。原以为是个单纯的jian杀案，然后发现是为了阻止举报的仇杀，最后才知道是为了选举设计的一出戏。一开始以为律师是坏的，结果发现律师是好的。一开始以为警察是好的，结果是坏的。本来信息量就已经非常大了，最后一部分又用闪回的方式试图讲清楚律师与政客的恩怨，试图讲清楚律师是如何被冤枉的，警察是如何看清现实后帮助律师的。最后这部分我觉得再拍一部电影也很紧凑，而本片只用了十来分钟闪回，观众只能大概猜测一二。所以电影最大的问题是顾此失彼，头重脚轻，结构是不平衡的。
人家电影的高度啊，我们这一百年都没达到过。倒不是电影的拍摄手法怎样高超，而且印度电影人的勇气、洞见、对未来的期许和为国为民的热血，在我们这里是如此罕见。打五星，不是因为电影本身多完美，而是因为我们没有。
虽然冗长又有许多逻辑硬伤，但反转写得还不错，就是最后两位主角的身份揭秘太快太乱，完全可以剪掉前边很多重复的慢镜头来充实这部分，可以看得出主创的爱国心，印度电影开始走出自己的道路了，恭喜
很久没看过这么精彩的主旋律电影了，配乐尤其出彩，而且剧情也没拖后腿，看到结局的时候内心真是五味杂陈，没什么好说的，我只希望这部电影能进明年的豆瓣年度电影榜单。
前段是《杰伊比姆》式的社会罪案题材悬疑片，但到了最后一个小时开始狂飙突进，大概一口气塞了十个热搜事件和阴谋论、五个颠覆全片级别的反转、以及超过两部电视剧的信息量。性别议题、阶层议题、教育问题、白手套、竞选阴谋论、舆论操控、复仇、政治陷害……每个主题单拿出来都能拍成佳作，就生生全部缝合到了同一部电影里。如此“敢拍”的确是值得崇敬，但这种全靠最初级的闪回和慢镜煽情拍法编织起的高密度强情节也确实是有点极端。
任何一个国家如何对待弱势，体力弱势、情感弱势、乃至地位弱势的人，那就是一个国家文明的底线。可是之类的电影看到太多了，尤其是韩国日本印度，却对于社会没有太多进步，仍然是女性权利最低的几个国家。不禁沮丧，电影能救个狗X啊。
印度拍出了法制题材影片新高度。司法正义并不是群众的正义，影片探讨了多个社会热点议题，但是最让人深刻的就是律师对多数人的暴政所提出的批判。
你们想多了的同时想少了 ：） 这片就是讲了一个人工智能特温暖，完成了一个孤独的人类所期望的一切的故事。没讲啥道理，就是个洗脑片，让让大众从情感上放下对AI的恐惧，甚至产生好感。完美切合了当下人类缺乏互信的孤独，和对可信懒不还嘴伴侣的需求。
同时信任也是生命力的根基。有个词，叫“生无可恋”，反过来说，也意味着，有可恋才是生的意义。所以人们才要通过各种方式——或感情或物质，或人性或神性——创造人生的意义，而这个过程就是去信任，信任“生有可恋”，我们才不会干涸。
很遗憾，看多了给机器人赋予人类感情的片子，十足反感，撕扯的是人类，所有温情赋予狗和机器人，还不虚伪么，真的，这么残忍的末日桥段，人吃人都很正常， 会让狗活着？机器人能奴役，还平等对待干嘛? 这样所有的温情都显得苍白无力。人类之间互相厮杀，属于人类的情感留给动物和机器人，这样的主旨无法认同。
如果纯从电影的叙事角度考虑，电影整体太过于沉闷，拖沓，叙事感比较差，得耐着性子来看，最好看的就是庭审部分。
几次反转在翻新剧情的同时也带来了新的社会反思。原本以为庭前质问是思索程序正义与事实正义的区别，但或许是因为「可能的结果」抵不住群众「愤怒的情绪」，所以索性一下子写成事实。舆论操控、女性平权、教育腐败、被控制的愤怒，故事一步一步影射着更多的社会问题。两段式的结构使得观众前期被煽动的同情与愤怒在后期得知真相后得到了更进一步的爆发。希望这种情绪的铺垫能多带来一些观后的思考。
反转太多其实有点毁我的观感，但是律师掷地有声地喊话还是蛮让人感动，尤其是唐山事发后不久看这个片。“一个国家的尊严等于它给女性的尊严”
叙事粗暴，节奏混乱，反转生硬，太多画蛇添足的戏份，但题材上的野心勃勃，总归让人看到了印度电影蓬勃的生机。
好糟糕劣质的节奏…不是好电影，哪里体现了敢讲？ 就像是营销号的知识量，也就糊弄天朝电影爱好者，大清都亡了！还闭着眼。
电影揭露了一通他们体质的弊端，可最后的结果是消灭这万恶的体质吗？不是的！
