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!。香港回归祖国后，荣凯集团总裁李国凯（郑少秋 饰）得以和在北京的胞兄李国荣（焦晃 饰）团聚。由于之前一直生活在不同的社会制度下，世界观、人生观不同，哥俩不久产生了摩擦。亚洲金融危机暴发后，李国凯的事业遭受重创，其次子李明捷（林申 饰）因与父亲分道扬镳致生意破产，大哥明浩（张永智 饰）和妹妹明思（曾宝仪 饰）均逃离家庭，整个家族濒临分崩离析。危难之机，大哥国荣出手相助，李国凯重新整合家族，渐渐走出困境。就在家业蒸蒸日上的时候，李国凯被医院诊断出绝症，面对灰心的胞弟，国荣捐献出自己的骨髓，挽救了国凯的生命。病愈的国凯欲将财产赠予大哥，伹哥哥的一番话让他明白了生存的价值......。
