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!
I am an islander 来自陌生人的善意是这个世界的基石～女机长的独唱～旅途相遇的中年情侣的对唱等几首令人印象深刻
"A powerful celebration of humanity."
Something has changed, something has remained, something we lost, something we gained, while something we've never truly learned… Peace&love或许可笑，但它存在过，也将一直存在。
好看的 是非常美式的音乐剧 美国人就很适合拍这种题材 机长姐姐的歌好棒 那个埃及大厨好逗 通过圣经交流的剧情一看就是来源于真实 非常感人
应该看现场，效果会更好，虽然没有那个观看的环境，却能够对其构造的环境感同身受。
有点失望，以为是全程唱歌，脍炙人口那种，结果更像是话剧，舞台布置别说和被大家说穷的《摇滚红与黑》比了，疯提尔的《狗镇》都可以吊打的水平，总之属于观看失望和实际间的落差太大
上帝为阻止人类团结共筑巴别塔，创造了不同语言，然而却又用共同编码的圣经，打破了自己打造的藩篱。
疫情前买的最后一部音乐剧门票，结果被取消了，这样一想好像快两年没看过现场音乐剧了。女机长的几首歌都好好听，一人分饰多角也很厉害，舞台虽小但利用充分，虽然还是感觉太普通了。
So tame. So predictable. So...Meh.
其实电影里一直在强调，leo就是一个fantasy，不必当真。现实生活里，那些找鸭的女的可能在疯狂砸钱做私处保养被pua。最好笑的是女主去探寻leo真实身份，并试图了解，不就是性转版的劝人从良第一步嘛。实在很失望，女性对自我探索的实现还要通过男的这一客体，这不就是男权思路的那一套吗。唯一区别就是，女的还在担心冒犯男的。
4.5 艺术是永远的精神避烂所！
Highly recommended.看完后第一时间推荐给朋友。看多了开心麻花，我都忘了这才是音乐剧（当然前面是话剧，我意思是好看的剧）。有伤痛、有开心、有反思，居然还是真人真事。途中一度想到我们的疫情难关能不能也出这样一个不煽情的好剧。场景、调度、演员、歌声、编排真的很棒。梦回西区！
对比当下的国产电影，这片手松一松可以五星了。
整体套路化，说教味太浓，呼吁性工作合法化真的大可不必，和妈妈一起看的感觉很奇妙
一幕缩影，一段回忆，一个出口，一丝慰藉。

我只想说四个字，职业素养。虽然有点鸡汤，但互相以温暖，互相以分享。暖心又有趣。
I'm an islander, and No Man Is An Island. 2021年的最后再来看依旧哭唧唧，依旧为这部作品所鼓舞，依旧最喜欢那首汇成同一个旋律的信仰之歌，我们如此不同却又如此相通。
好香好香好香，这什么男菩萨啊我天，男主只要肉体出镜我就根本移不开眼￣﹃￣
12个人，两个小时演出7000人五天的温暖故事。故事包含很多，人物复杂，而现实要比这复杂更多倍。是第一次接触官摄音乐剧，一开始不习惯是必然，慢慢走近故事，发现是看完之后觉得幸好没有错过的故事。911事件20周年，把温暖带给大家。Gander，911事件中同纽约一样的城市。今夜我们向失去的一切致敬，但同时，我们也纪念我们所找回的一切。共同面对困难的人类，好美丽。就如疫情
