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!
大概能明白为什么北美口碑和票房呈现两极的趋势 简单的故事用了一个古典的叙述方式拍出了很多古装片没有的史诗感 套用了大量宏伟的自然风光 拼贴式的魔幻特效 片子是非常的华丽 加上深藏不露的长镜头和神调度 投资不会少 过慢过深的推进又让片子呈现一种花大钱拍文艺片的感觉 评论圈会觉得这片子是艺术品 观众会觉得这么简单的故事没必要装深沉 就很遗憾
这类神神叨叨又具荒蛮气息的故事，我永远看不腻。
内容远远大于形式，听力不过关的我可能只懂一半的内容；但转念一想，貌似再好也不过titane
故事和背景可能只是借壳，但内核他也不由自主。
两星半，很一般，可能复古以及神话似的风格还算能看
3+，挣脱神话的启示和悲剧的束缚，勇敢去爱和战斗吧！
3.5。顯然，當大銀幕觀眾因為沈浸感接納了完全由神話儀式建立的劇作節奏後，本片絕對沒有在質量上過於粗疏。只是在艾格斯個人維度，其中不僅大量穿插前作元素作為補丁，吵鬧的台詞削弱了各類儀式的嚴肅性。更糟糕的是，此種對於復仇神話毫無思辨的一比一搬演，似乎更加坐實了他在炫目技法之下內核空洞的可能性。希望他別再接這麼大製作了。
作者自我表达和作者自我沉迷是两个完全不同的事，我感觉导演明显分不太清楚。下次再有这么大笔钱，真的不如给我，我雇个导演拍闺蜜的北欧同人小说，保证比这个好看多了。@好莱坞
最后索尔吃下食物，不再痛苦，留下了泪。开放式结局，
北欧版的《哈姆雷特》。片子让我想到了陈凯歌的《荆轲刺秦王》，前半段还不错，但是到后半段有些拉的太长，过于追求形式了。不过整体的视听效果还是可以的，镜头下的北欧风光很好看
真北欧王子复仇记，最原始的那种野性还是震撼到我了，血腥暴力镜头绝对是近年来有的一拼，最后一场E大在火山口的打戏拍得实在太美太壮观，Anya全程都美得发光，真适合演北欧人。口音重得我怀疑人生，E大几乎都在咆哮，因为听不懂反到有一种诗意，虽然都是大场面，但莎剧的舞台感还是很强。但我不喜欢参杂在里面的宗教和神灵的元素，可能我还是不太喜欢Robert Eggers想把一个莎剧拍成反传统的类型片。
野蛮的欧洲人，北欧人，自己人杀自己人，弟弟杀大哥，儿子杀儿子，儿子杀老妈，侄子杀叔叔，叔叔杀侄子。是映射现在乌克兰跟俄罗斯自相残杀的俄乌战争？还是表达人类的邪恶凶残自取灭亡的兽性？最后的双胞胎出生是诅咒人类的永不休止的自相残杀吗？感觉这只是白人的凶残本性，似乎我们东方人更加温顺更加文明，更加适合群体社会及人类文明的发展，凶残本性的白人总有一天会自取灭亡。
太难看啦，除了冰岛风景和一些猎奇习俗其他的都很无脑。想看维京文化和茹毛饮血blabla我还不如继续刷一遍《Vikings》。
剧情走的是王子复仇记，本来看的是异常平淡，不过当中出现了一个转折，虽然称不上神转折吧，但也算是有了点新意。虽然转折过后，又是按照王子复仇记的路数就这么下去了。
整部电影有着和《女巫》截然不同的气质，不再是神秘丛林的阴气重重，取而代之的是极端化的兽性和男性气质，冰岛的辽阔草原和电闪雷鸣为电影提供了最为天然的绝佳舞台，极具地方性色彩且同样低沉嘶吼的配乐带来了更高层次的视听盛宴，油然而生的史诗感和宏大场面让略显单调的故事情节也沉浸感十足
观看过程中我心说这抓玛的莎士比亚风咋这么熟悉呢，合着是<灯塔>导演作品，得~啥也不(裂)说(开)了
中世纪味道基本靠脏。不难看也不好看，就是…看着挺花钱的。
又一部沉迷于神话影像氛围而内容空洞乏味的形式之作，这类作品的现代文化价值几近于无。
就是太糙了，不管是文本还是影像上，越到后面越看不出140分钟的必要性。
“那你就要醒过来。”
