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!。影片根据Marjorie Wallace撰写的同名书籍改编，讲述一对双胞胎姐妹非常沉默，她们只用一种专有的语言来彼此交流。她们迷恋于写小说、男孩以及青少年间的犯罪活动，她们之间的紧密关系使得某些事情变得十分危险。。你一定有过这样的经历：半夜惊醒，瞪视着黑暗中的天花板，深刻地感觉到屋子里似乎并不是只有自己一个人。你可能会感到惊慌失措，甚至没有勇气去探索这种存在感源于何处，你紧闭双眼，摸索着找到灯的开关……屋子刹时充满了明亮的灯光，你的眼睛也随之猛地张开——发现屋子里除了自己再没有喘气的，于是你松了一口气，将心中的恐惧感归咎于恶梦的连锁反应。你可能习惯将“看不到”定义为“不存在”，将那些神经末梢敏锐的触动解释为“神经质”，然而，当你的周围发生了一系列不合理和无法解释的反常现象时，你无法忽略它们，倍受困扰，那么你可能只有一个去处：爱德华·康比私人侦探所，他不会像其他心理医生那样靠科学佐证“纠正”你的心态，只是单纯地救你的命。 特殊的使命让爱德华所闻所见的都是这个世界上最黑暗、最邪恶、最肮脏的一面，童年的亲身经历让他深信超自然力量是真实存在的，经过他手的上百个案例都是绝佳的事实论据。然而，这个替人排忧解难的“灵界侦探”这一次处理的案件却与自己的过去息息相关：他受托调查一起失踪案，受害者已经达到19人，活不见人、死不见尸，有如人间蒸发……爱德华还发现了一个重要线索，这19个人都是和他在同一个孤儿院长大的，他成了惟一幸存之人，想必也是那个揭开谜底的关键所在。英雄的身边怎么会少了美女的相伴？爱德华的前女友——考古学家艾莉安·卡德拉克翩然而至，提供了第一手的古献资料：古老的阴谋与失落的文明结合而成的邪恶力量，几千年来，随着船的残骸沉睡于寂静的海底，如今重新浮出水面，继续未完的“事业”，威胁到了全人类的生死存亡。。
