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!
把任何困難都盡全力去樂觀，永遠積極的人，觀眾看著總會覺得他在天才和傻屌之間徘徊，黎明前的黑暗果然就是最黑的，咬牙拼了。故事背後的故事，令人心疼。
各方面都令人想要和《爱乐之城》对比。但本片无论是音乐上还是对爱情与梦想之间挣扎的表现，都差了许多。
这不比《安妮特》好看好听，也更写实走心。鲍勃·福斯拍《伦尼的故事》，林曼努尔拍“乔纳森·拉森的故事”，一种惺惺相惜和自况，还有本片从叙述到剪辑借鉴前者颇多。
鲜明的活着
喜欢轻盈交错的剪辑，和加菲真诚得看起来不太聪明的笑容，喜欢夜晚在大广场上弹琴回忆小时候那段，但这些都被广场那迎合庸俗煽情的细雨浇灭了一部分。看完想去看看《Rent》
Sunday推倒餐厅墙壁那段太音乐剧了
好于 91% 歌舞片 ?? 反正还是觉得芝加哥和红磨坊无法超越
关于创作瓶颈那回事，拍得还挺中规中矩地好的，虽然很想说“啊创作过的人会懂一点！”，但反驺一下，还是年底的标准冲奥定式暖色商业片。BTW今年《安妮特》珠玉在前，这部实在难听不到哪去。跟《爱乐之城》的对比也略微错误（跟《爱乐之城》的联系只能想到加菲和石头姐曾经的一段情……），更偏传记片的定位会让这片的视角比较折衷。也不知道所谓短评首页说的少数群体、有色族裔的加入符不符合史实，但恐怕不太符合这片所谓的“受众群体”口味……但俗话说得好，爱看音乐剧的不都是GAY吗？不太懂都在看音乐剧了为啥还在纠结这个问题。
看到好多音乐剧大佬的客串。剪辑很好，音乐的表现力也挺有想法。加菲真的能唱，有点意外。
优点都是在有效拓展电影边界的部分：这不是一部音乐剧官摄，也不是一部真正意义上的歌舞片，而是一部元-音乐剧-电影，将唱段视觉化就是一个很好地体现电影尤其是歌舞片作为造梦机器的例子，并且“造梦机器”也能很好地与主题结合。但在电影层面是失败的，本片在今天对HIV、LGBT群体话题的讨论…Larson在25年前自己就写出来了《吉屋出租》。最后，既然是改编，如果改成加菲像《阮玲玉》里的张曼玉那样演Larson，那就是真牛逼。
虽然讲的是逐梦演艺圈的故事，但融入了奔三焦虑话题，所以也可以跟普通观众建立联系。LMM自己的音乐剧被别人导演舞美做得华丽，自己导演别人的故事却能做到不追求浮华、选择最适合故事的表现形式。Andrew Garfield演得很好，希望明年奥斯卡能拿个提名。
《月亮与六便士》，事业与爱情永远不能兼得。
喜欢这种音乐剧附带一些人生哲理的type，可能大家视角不同，个人觉得比爱乐之城好看一些，唯一小遗憾就是最后看到本尊，感觉并不像电影中表现的那个样子
形式大于内容，表达方式大于故事本身。中规中矩。
《吉屋出租》对生活的热爱就像烟花一样绚烂，而乔纳森·拉森就是那个滴答滴答的引信。可惜引信燃尽了自己，却欣赏不到烟火璀璨了。Tick, Tick…，翻译成中文就是“逝者如斯夫，不舍昼夜”，但与其站在水边伤怀，不如尽情的去绽放一次。9
电影叙事几乎流水账，几处本可以爆发的点欠力度。AG还是更擅长内敛细腻情绪的把控，遇到外向型角色不够自然，我猜他研习过无数遍Larson的录像，模仿之力溢出屏幕。不过外形气质更贴的演员我也想不出来 叹气
唉，又看哭。fear or love，baby？
音乐与剧情似乎一直很激昂，但我的心从头到尾几乎都是波澜不惊…并不是很令我感冒的音乐，可能真实但确实俗套的剧情，真的是让人大失所望，只想高呼一句:《爱乐之城》和《马戏之王》永远的神！
为何总在梦想终点止步？为何总会留下遗憾？那便是生命的倒数时刻在无声呐喊。
原剧完成度算不上高，所以之前觉得电影改编的唯一出路是传记化，果然如此，但这就成了一个套娃：在剧里写Superbia，在电影里写/演TTB，LMM把后面两层拍扁了些但是又必须留着，甚至还借用了最早的独幕剧模式，不知道普通观众观感如何，也许依然会觉得乱？但这片子太深情了，一直哭一直哭，没法用普通观众视角对待。桑爷-Larson-LMM的传承，浸满对剧场的爱。改编是同人写法，尽力把观众想要的东西都找地方安放。非常喜欢LMM把Larson删掉的Boho days拿回来，一秒还魂Rent，绿绿裙的处理也非常合理，最后片尾还贴心地还回来。Sunday生怕普通观众看不明白给了一段前序交待，把Susan和Dot写成了对照的情感线，BP女神出现的时候真是哇哇哭。桑爷亲自的录音也感人非凡。lots of lov
