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!。四个好友共同策划了一个完美的小镇银行打劫行动，但选择了一个错误的夜晚。这时吸血僵尸袭击了小镇并把他们一伙人困在了银行里。他们能带着钱全身而退吗？。20世纪60年代，英国人治下的皇家警察贪婪无度，甚至与黑道相互勾结，搜刮民脂。年轻探长雷洛踌躇满志，小心周旋在英国人和华人上司之间，并瞅准一切机会攀登权力山峰。在某次火并事件中，雷洛看中了敢打敢杀的伍世豪。来自南洋的伍世豪义字当头，情愿为兄弟两肋插刀。他凭借一股闯劲儿在黑道打出自己的位置，同时借着与雷洛相互帮衬的势头而声名鹊起。最终，刀头舔血的雷洛和伍世豪共同成为分别执掌白道和黑道的重量级人物。 而在这一过程中，这对兄弟也渐渐发生分歧。当风暴来临之际，一切即将变化……。
