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!
暗黑魔幻童话。占大篇幅的地牢囚禁既非《电锯惊魂1》般惊悚残酷，亦非《科洛弗道10号》般斗智斗勇，五个受害小孩通过墙上的“无线”电话轮流教男主如何一步步设计逆袭绑架犯，警探破案全靠男主妹妹梦中通灵，绑架犯除了戴个难看的鬼面外毫无压迫感（好吧开锁那里还是让人屏住呼吸的）。结尾反杀很爽，有个双屋诡计（拙劣得不算诡计，本可以误导得非常出彩的），然后就是平铺直叙的校园霸凌、家庭暴力、家人团聚等老元素。绑架犯的兄弟死得就和《闪灵》里的厨师一样冤。
怎么能。。错打这么多炸弹。。。太不可思议。
以孩童视觉呈现战争的作品很多，这部也挺用心，笔触细腻，戏剧化编排可圈可点，CG也做的逼真。不必较真去杠这个战争史里的空袭事故，尤其那场席卷多洲的世界大战。难有简单粗暴棱角分明的对与错，回顾历史的方式和角度有很多。逝者为大，只能一声叹息。
看的好难过，战争中这种惨事儿只能说更多吧…有时候宗教信仰，也是给人个安慰…
电影有着一个无比震撼的开头，知道真相的你，也会像那个小男孩一样，张开口，却什么也说不出。战机低空飞行的镜头和平民日常作息交错进行着，给人一种无形的压迫感。虽然轰炸后的抢救工作，显得有些刻意和主旋律式的拔高立意，但结合最近的乌克兰局势，仍然不失为一部反战倡何的佳片。战争就是战争，就算它是正义的，也会带来阴影，而且，对于受害者来说，永远不会消散。
不明白哪里好看，是我学了假电影，还是日本电影只剩营销吹几把？
太惨烈了！童话王国不再拥有童话，而是充斥着硝烟弥漫的战场，战争往往带来的只有无尽的悲鸣与痛苦，受伤永远都是民众，最后跑回家的一大段长镜头看的人真的透不过气与最后一刻同女孩母亲一样瘫坐在地上，长长的舒了一口气
其实是一个理想化的故事，温暖向善的结局不深刻却令人动容。影片最现实的可能就是刑警反思自己最后竟成了最想贩婴交易成功的人，着实黑色幽默。摩天轮上素英与东秀之间达成了自我救赎。恭喜宋康昊，化演技为无形，是高招中的高招。
44枚炸弹只有8枚给了纳粹…修女的自罚和恶魔接吻都无法验证耶稣的存在，或许战争一开始上帝就不存在了。不管是什么样的战争什么目的的战争，对百姓带来的伤害是最大的，有的国家军队正在对平民轰炸，有的中立报道却被永久封禁。
仔细思考，英军造成的伤害可能比德军还要大，还要严重。而它却代表正义
“悲剧是将人生有价值的东西毁灭给人看”。一部极其出色的悲剧电影，把战争带给民众的恐惧，迷茫，无助及绝望，展现得淋漓尽致。世事难料，除了乞求和平，百姓又能做什么呢？
有些单薄，但男孩最后的反杀真的秀到了。那些死掉的孩子也无比的催泪，他们没有一个坐以待毙，都是顶顶勇敢聪明的好孩子，他们做到了能做到的一切，每一通电话都是一声深深地哀叹。
近些年看过最好的战争题材电影，出乎意料的好，直戳内心深处。厚重的前戏、出色的配乐、氛围的烘托、儿童的视角、铺开的群像、特写的镜头、以及充满张力的表演，一切都太必要了，一切也都是恰到好处。战争永远是残酷的，所谓的正义有时造成的伤害远比邪恶更大，而对于那些伪善的、借战争牟利的、为一己之私致生命于不顾的，都应该去死。
7.10
意外平淡但也意外刁钻，平淡不仅是对类型影片视听方法的突xie破dai，更在于故事逻辑性和叙事重心，雕琢则取决于导演（兼任编剧）出于表达个人趣味，对类型元素的取舍，这是一部对观众有选择的惊悚片，亡灵来电，众鬼拾柴，然原本期待的恐怖氛围被以温暖人心的形式替代，直面凶手，逃出生天，可谓前所未见，至于能在影迷心中和影史上走多远，留待后人评述吧
真实改编，愿战争不在出现！年轻的特蕾莎修女！
会感觉仓促潦草，那么多人物，拢不过来的动机，难以发展的矛盾。最难以相信的就是这个妈妈……
宋康昊的很多电影要比这个更值得拿奖吧？不知道评委们怎么想的。
不明白哪里好看，是我学了假电影，还是日本电影只剩营销吹几把？
太赶了，除了最后的小姑娘故事线还算完整，其他线很多都零零散散有头无尾，想表达的东西太多了反倒没表达出来。题材其实可以不限制于煽情，拔高一点
