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!。清末民初，苏州凤林镇上的“高家饼铺”远近驰名。高毓明与家中丫头碧云相恋，但高父坚决不容，碧云被迫离开。毓明奉父命与月卿成亲。毓明赴金陵洽商，遇已沦落风尘的碧云，得知碧云已身怀六甲，遂携其离开高家，碧云不久产下一女明月。十八年后，碧云临终嘱托毓明，盼明月能认祖归宗，毓明毅然将明月带回高家，但所有人都不能容她。不久，毓明病重故逝，二娘玉贞伙同饼铺大师傅卷秘方潜逃，饼铺面临危难。明月和饼铺二师傅杜浩然撑起高家家业，照顾罹病的兄长，视月卿如亲娘孝顺并不惜质押祖宅，挨家挨户的向乡人告贷。几经艰辛，明月终于赎回祖宅，重新挂上『江南第一店』的金字招牌。月卿感念明月，隆重迎回明月生母碧云的牌位，放入高家祠堂，自此视明月如亲生女儿。而浩然与明月，却终身扶持到老。。
