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!
对生而为母的真实感受描绘毫不避讳——逃避、厌恶、恐惧，这点挺难得的。 看这部片子时，我始终会想起自己一个朋友，也有类似于片中的桥段——“离开”了女儿，逃走了。。。继而好奇二十多年后的她会是怎样的，会不会也要走过一段艰难的自我原谅之路。
普通人男主来客串，有意思。/ 半个小时过去了，我看着nina面部特写，好生眼熟。原来是她。
几处略微重点刻画的女性的对视，都….，那种“我有些事想告诉你”的神情，在眼白的反光中闪耀，耀目到观众有点坐立不安….但剧作上我还有许多地方未想明白….
不喜欢那些闪回的过去，要是能用当下揣测过去的话会更有新意。科尔曼演技真是一流。
人生每一步选择，都进一步导致更多不同的选择。有时殊途同归，但过程各自曲折。
p. s.这部电影看的太过于压抑，站在女人的角度来体会女主人生的经历，痛苦大于快乐，谁看了都会不想要小孩的。这片不能在国内播出，影响我国的百年大计😂
soundtrack很好听！单独片段也不错，可是导演的storytelling真的boring
一个中年女人在海滩度假 目睹了一个三口之家的甜蜜 同时也伴随着争吵 背叛 无力 这一切引发了她和自己两个女儿之间的往事 所有的亏欠都难以弥补 因为生命是一趟单程列车 有去无回。。好在结尾的电话预示着母女关系的缓和 但那些伤扣总在暗处 隐隐作痛
作为一部处女作来说，真的很不错，音乐也真的很nice！
优秀的女演员们联起手来不得了 果然还是女导演更懂女性主题 果然是女演员更懂关注女演员的细节和情绪 2021最佳导演处女作 舒服细腻 能想到的都帮你想到了 甚至有些卧槽 太适合美国中产阶级家庭的女性和千帆过境的成功母亲和神经衰弱的年轻妈妈静静观赏 记得关灯拉窗帘and glass of anything
首先是人，再是女人，然后才是母亲。流连不去的那段岁月在潜意识里却是被道德感在心中堆积成山的毒瘤和恶虫，只有切开放血才能平复伤痕。其实很多时候最放不下的不是自己认为伤害了的人，而是自己，我们都该学着谅解自己。改编、演员演技、细节的设置和镜头感、随情绪发展的闪回剪辑都不错。
高明的电影，一切策略都十分奏效，包括而不限于较窄的画幅、略带诡计的叙事法、人物对照、深埋线索，给观众一整套高强度绝育打击。影厅一段给我整破防了，妈的！
关于女人一生的惊悚片。女性不是天然的母亲，为母则刚的谎言谁来戳穿？我想离开家庭，我想再次获得性快感，我想让孩子们闭嘴不要吵闹，我想不挪位子的晒太阳，我想安静地看一场电影，我想要玩具我想恶作剧……我为这一切买过单了，可这个世界仍旧到处充满敌意。送给“女儿”的发簪最终刺进她身体里，让她逃出这个表面光鲜底部腐坏的果盘，和那点相对柔和的削橙子记忆。阵雨里收留背包客的那段，年轻女主和Alba太有化学反应了，两个人过下去不好吗……
想对20岁左右的年轻人说，你们真的做好当父母的准备了吗？如果没有，就不要急着生孩子，不要为了生孩子而生孩子。
我看的断断续续，但是还是会有共鸣。被很多其它打断，但是最终还是看完。
手持近景拍摄表现出了内心焦虑感和被窥视感；细节丰富，各对“母女关系”相互映射，现实与回闪情节流畅地交织在一起；女性心理需求/心里状态描写细腻，男性的“工具”地位和弱化。
Nina竟然是Dakota！怼了那么久的脸部特写我都没认出来。剧本真扎实，多棒的起承转合，过去和现在的交叉蒙太奇剪辑，串联起角色的故事线，丰满女主形象，更喜欢过去的时间线。看不出身为处女作导演的生涩，演员转导演的Maggie拍出了女性独有的情感和视角。科尔曼的演技无声却有力，不过想拿奖还是有难度，太多的戏份被同样出彩的Jessie分走了，比起演技奖，剧本奖反而更有竞争力一些。
好喜欢这部，觉得是奥斯卡季最佳.. 随时被家庭打碎抽离的母亲，好像被破壁机搅拌一般的痛楚。那个蛇，就像是她自己，被削出来，被扭曲着。
救命。这些女娃娃闹腾得我想死。但情节过于悬疑刺激，磕high了似的完全停不下来。
就像一直向深海游去，一直到精疲力尽，最后发现自己距离海岸太远了。
