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!。时装设计师曾立伟是个身材矮小、其貌不扬的人。但是他事业有成，曾经获得过上一届时装大赛的冠军。家庭、婚姻都很圆满，有漂亮的妻子和活泼可爱的儿子，他对自己的现状非常满意。 新一届时装大赛又开始了，曾立伟与冠军失之交臂，本来没有获得冠军不应该是件多么严重的事。不料厄运却接踵而至，先是妻子离他而去，渐渐的他在公司的首席位置也被他人取而代之，生活糟糕到了极点。所幸身边有调皮的儿子给他带来不少的慰藉。 精明的老板没有将他完全摒弃，而是继续为他提供了机会。公司里的模特佳琪走进了他的生活，他们在工作上相互支持，生活上相互帮助。曾立伟又焕发了创作激情。尽管前面还有许多困难，今后还会遇到挫折，曾立伟都会坦然地应对每一天的挑战。。
