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!
偏清新的美式青春片，更专注主角的成长（歧视者也是一笔带过），平铺直叙之下看到那段手语歌声演绎和最后赶赴学校的场景，不免动容。我这记性，完全没看出是based on「朱丽叶的一家」。
没有法国版带来的感动多，而且那首歌也没有法国版来的惊喜。不过也是有亮点之处，老师和哥哥很感人。
影片翻拍自法国电影《贝利叶一家》，Apple TV+光是购买版权就豪掷了2500万美金。《健听女孩》做了很好的本土化改编，加上好听的音乐做催化剂，成为观赏性极佳的心灵鸡汤。
3.越来越讨厌豆瓣那些专业的评价体系
看鸟《健听女孩》产生的好奇：父母和哥哥都听障，小女孩从小是如何学会听说普通口语的？
但拿下BP多少还欠缺一些说服力，作为翻拍片，它对原作《贝利叶一家》并无多少实质变动和超越，2007年马丁凭翻拍片《无间风云》登顶，至少是从视听到气质到主题全方位改造过且焕然一新的。希望行业能意识到，对保守的过分表彰就是对创造力的抹杀。
淚目...想到自己背井離鄉海外求學，媽媽第一次出國飛來參加我的博士答辯儀式，其實也是那麼孤獨的坐在人群中完全不懂我和周圍的人在說些什麼，也是看著別人的反應開始拍手鼓掌...I miss them dearly
唯一的惊喜可能是看贝利叶一家的时候觉得这个故事只能发生在法国。改编的还行，比原版更激进的用“听障”高概念提取“家庭伦理与社会规则的冲突”，但是只要先入为主还是觉得太美式了，没有原版那么简单可爱
属于实在找不到电影看了才会点开看的那一种，因为会很害怕肉麻的感觉。好在本片不止令人肉麻感动，其实更多的是清新自然，甚至有好几处能让人笑出声来
双向成全牺牲的亲情梗太土太暖了，又好听又好哭~
Typical Sundance film. 对原作进行了很大幅度的简化，日常生活气息对话删了，节奏放慢也就算了，主要是删掉的情节让人物看上去都软绵绵的，女主月经初潮这么重要的成长意象删了，男朋友自主意识删成一个软骨头，音乐老师个性也大减。弟弟改成哥哥不知道怎么考虑的，必须得有个大哥撑住家庭女主才能走人，还是说就为了让大哥说一句“你出生之前我们三个挺好的”？但是完成度很高，《犬之力》是单项突出但整体完成度并不高的电影，本片若能击败《犬之力》登顶奥斯卡并不是什么不雅结局，以前有过家庭片拿奥斯卡的先例，再不雅还能比当年《母女情深》惨案更不雅么？女主小Emma Watson.
3.5。原作的故事底子够好，本土化改编和选角也颇妥帖，撑起一个足够亮眼的基本盘。不过故事走向有点太顺遂了，不大记得《贝利叶一家》是怎么处理转折，但面试的选曲肯定没原版动人了，情感爆点反而是前置的——印象最深的一场戏是合唱表演，始终把戏剧重心放在聋哑的父母身上，在所有观众都享受音乐的夜晚，他们是假装投入却永远格格不入的人，消音的段落让心猛地揪紧，然后想到他们的乐观需要有多坚强。
哭成大傻逼555555 看到最后我简直爆哭 好喜欢这种电影好好看好温暖 被治愈了
没有法国版带来的感动多，而且那首歌也没有法国版来的惊喜。不过也是有亮点之处，老师和哥哥很感人。
现在看什么好莱坞电影都觉得太模式化了，我怕是有什么大病。全片看完就是一部很工整的美利坚主旋律电影，颁奖季少不了这种类型的。
#94奥提BP男配改编剧本 表演很减分，就没感觉谁演的好，剧本中规中矩，有几场戏很尴尬。刚刚看了看预测，如果这得bp也太尴尬了吧，不过这届奥斯卡能打的真的太少了...
丝毫没被打动，反而有点生气。全片一直在回避他们身处的真实困境面对的无解难题，刚扯开一点难堪的口子，到局外听觉正常的观众们怜悯又不至于太糟心的程度，就赶快温情脉脉地遮掩住，相亲相爱一家人。所遇皆真爱，所求都能有回报，女孩考上伯克利好像鱼都变好打，全渔港的人都变得容易沟通了。行吧。我又拉回去确认了下制片方有没有Disney。无感音乐风格，也一直很难get到美式校园青春片这种类型。觉得音乐老师有点像加菲…口味问题一直不关注奥奖，有点好奇，学院这几年的kpi是把这个奖改造成美国金鸡吗。
加入了不少的美国本土元素的确锦上添花
#Sundance28 如何从独立电影角度讲好一个套路故事？导演的情感把握实在是太细腻了，从合唱团表演消音开始泪崩，父亲摸女儿的声带振动“听”音乐，女儿用手语告诉家人歌词含义……虽然不是最特别的故事，但是捕捉了最丰富的情感，今年Sundance最佳。（以及好喜欢选曲，蹲一个歌单）
从爸爸用手语打出那句“她从来没当过宝宝”开始我的眼泪就下来了…
