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!
恭喜阿金斯创下动作片前无古人的“一镜到底”成就。比起《狂武藏》那样毫无观赏性的超级长镜头，起码one shot真正把观赏性和长镜头结合在了一起。在考虑到老斯的电影一项拍的快和成本低，里面打斗和镜头调度已经相当惊人了，可能也是他这几年来最值得观赏性，最具有突破性的一部作品了。
小成本的海豹营救片，除了过于夸张的孤胆英雄风格有点老套之外，其它还是可以看的～最好的部分是以战地记者视角拍摄的手法在敌我中穿插，临场感较强。CQB，CQC部分完成得尤其爽快，描写队友牺牲也不再念诗看照片了，废话不多，稍差的部分是用刀的技术动作，浅插多扎的特点没有体现出来～基地有点山寨，美国旗的质感不对，墙裙也是新刷的，两个负责人性格也是太标签化了（其实反派也是），阿什丽果然是吸血鬼需要用木棒插死吗？有点搞笑的酱油了～人质才是顶着最大的光环怎么都死不了～
一分给一镜到底的摄影，一分给花瓶小姐姐，一分给一个人能灭整支部队却打不过冷锋和叶问的斯科特阿金斯
Basic-qualified-level action movie. Though the aura of Scott Adkins was way too dazzling, how the director handling of the clash of violence was surprisingly well. Plus the fighting part was smooth. Not so strongly recommend but it’s worth a watching anyway.
优缺点都很明显的小成本B级动作片。优点：伪一镜到底的拍摄手法、熟练的临场调度和斯科特阿金斯老师的打戏依旧拳拳到肉毫不拖泥带水。几位主要演员的演技也非常在线，基本上导演、编剧在片中想要传达某种情绪的目标是完成了。缺点：可惜文戏通篇下来也只有人物状态和情绪表达，信息量还是不够让很多事情自圆其说。再有就是和惊天营救同样的问题，过度杀戮了。敌人怎么也杀不完，反派就一辆军用卡车真能载那么多人过来？（恐怖分子绝对不止50人）还有几个配角后期就一直原地站桩射击完全不移动的， 非得跟那房间呆着吗？叫完支援赶快换地方啊，那么大个基地就没其他地方能周旋一下？这个就真的很老套了，强行写死其他人，就为了让主角开挂单独玩最后一分钟营救。

海豹小队到关押恐怖分子的基地提取一名犯人，一大堆恐怖分子突然来袭。小成本一镜片，虽然风格不是那么凌厉突出，基本没配乐，没长焦全景，视角还经常变换，拍成这样也很不容易了。瑞恩的戏份也太少了。★★★☆
一镜到底制作的小成本动作片，剧情很简单，打斗和枪战场面还算流畅。
强国有抗日神剧，米国有反恐神剧，谁也别笑谁。一镜到底不是盖的，可以，真有必要吗？
三星半。最后的打斗居然看出来一点疾速特攻的感觉。
感觉几百个人都打死了，那车里到底藏了多少人。
就是… 故事剧情本身不复杂，好背景设定这件事完全被浪费了，白天不出门这事儿基本就是废话，“出租船”就是出现了一两次没仔细展开，男主突然醒来这里不够小高潮的标准，最后大高潮也没劲，结尾倒是还挺好的老爷子继续追忆… 整体有点可惜，再接再厉吧，哦对了吴彦祖那个英文掺中文是真搞笑阿“兄弟”
想不到吧，是部中年更要恋爱脑的爱情片呢。把吴彦祖搞成鹦鹉的造型就真的很无奈。
缺点也很明显，文戏的问题不是没剧情（这种类型的动作片剧情越简单越好），而是太长太拖沓了（尤其是前半段），砍掉十五分钟应该会更爽快。
有点牛，全片伪一镜到底的动作片，但镜头调度远比不上《1917》。
''战狼''式的个人英雄主义，剧情没什么好说的，简简单单，看点全在动作和枪战场面，全片采用一镜到底，但场景没有《1974》那么宏大，加上密集的动作戏手摇式的拍摄手法反而减弱了长镜头的观赏性，打斗片段会有眩晕感。
支持阿金斯！这次动作戏少一些，偏写实，腿功都没展示233
3.依然磕拉了
这种“一镜到底”的形式有什么意义，反而让电影显得虚假和廉价。
这个形式还是有点意思的，所以给四星鼓励一下。剧本一般，有个别比较亮眼的地方，但也有很多时候让人感觉编得不怎么考究。
