简介

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!。在欧洲移民逐渐征服北美大陆,建立自己的国家——美国的过程中,对于印第安人的处理一直是个问题。美国西南部与墨西哥边境交界的地方有一群最后没有被“保留地”制度约束的土著印第安人。他们是阿帕奇人,在大部分人投降愿意到“保留地”生活之后,仍然坚持负隅顽抗的阿帕奇人头领杰罗尼莫成了美国军方最头痛的人物。约定投降后,第六骑兵团中尉盖克伍德和年轻的少尉戴维斯上路押解杰罗尼莫到“保留地”。 保留地的生活和阿帕奇人原本的生活方式完全不同,不甘心当种玉米农民的杰罗尼莫因白人杀死了他们的巫医后,决心重新战斗,夺回本属于自己的家园和生活。军方高层对杰罗尼莫的出尔反尔十分光火,白人和印第安人的交战使双方都死伤严重。盖克伍德和戴维斯厌恶战争,认为应该给阿帕奇人一个好的生活空间,但上级长官的命令他们又不得不遵从。杰罗尼莫带着跟随他的族人,组成了阿帕奇人的冲锋队,他们和白人战斗,想...。该影片主要讲述了四方夜总会的签约艺人樊志刚纵横夜场,本想带领东北农村兄弟进城发财,却不料江湖险恶,不知不觉中竟揽祸上身,并由此引发了一系列啼笑皆非的江湖囧事。。
