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!
前面有些无聊，都快看不下去了，到了漫才之后才明朗起来，最后居然还被感动到了，想去看看北野武的传记
近期看多了大成本粪作，难得看一部小空间小成本佳作，很不错，虽然剧本还不完全尽善尽美，但瑕不掩瑜，尤其是里朗斯，把扮猪吃老虎的裁缝，啊不，剪裁匠演绎到了极致
《套装》，一个交易中的交易中的交易的故事。伦敦优雅绅士在芝加哥左青龙右白虎，处变不惊，嘴炮杀人，环环相扣。那几滴一直下来的血是个障眼法，吊着人胃口最后却被火掩埋。如果你不追求完美，就无法做出伟大的事情。但真正的完美是不可能实现的。马克∙里昂斯演这种舞台范儿的电影着实无懈可击，最后闪转拔刀的动作不减当年。2019年在长沙的影院看过他的《第十二夜》，震撼且完美！
感人是很感人啦，但总体还是俗套的励志电影，滤镜太厚，现代制作感太强了，缺乏上世纪街头三教九流粗粝感
舞台剧式封闭空间的小成本悬疑片，看完我第一感受就是：稳！太稳了！故事结构、台词设计、叙述的推进节奏，全程都非常稳。
大泉洋和影帝的演技确实不错，感觉片子里对“搞笑”的价值观和北野武几次访谈里表达的十分一致：做最认真的事情别人却觉得好笑；搞笑并不是要努力去“如鱼得水”，而是就要成为“鱼”，不游泳就死了，而不是让人感觉“努力”，那就是有负担的搞笑了。很cool。剧团一人有点厉害了。
大泉洋的师傅一角演得真挚动人，越到后面越发深厚。
短小但不够精悍，前50分钟比较乏味。后续的故事，也颇有种为反转而反转的意味，因为老头的计划达成得太顺利，显得黑帮很蠢。最后又翻出老头的真实身份，固然很帅，但有些画蛇添足。
虽然整场戏都是在一个狭小的空间内上演，但是一点都不闷，节奏张弛有度。
剧本非常小巧精致，在单一场景下靠一个核心道具磁带把故事出场人物串联完全，依靠大量对白把故事推进的引人入胜，叙事节奏掌握的非常好，内奸和作局者情节的反转也非常让人意外，但前面铺垫过程已经在不断暗示，足见编剧考虑的周到，男主演技更是加分，这个角色在面临生命危险下的沉着，镇定，睿智是电影里的点睛之笔。（8/10）
你不是cutter，是film cutter
前面是中规中矩的励志片。与其说是北野武的传记电影，不如说是北野武对恩师还有法兰西剧场那段时光的怀念。 就像我们不忍心苛责《你好，李焕英》一样，都融入了创作者真挚的感情。 累积的情绪在最后师父去世之后开始爆发，最后的长镜头让人忍不住落泪，师父和北野武一起说着“我是谐星啊，八嘎呀路”，然后跳起踢踏舞，这结尾太美了。 老年北野武居然和青年是同一个演员饰演的，确实是一个挑战，演员完成得很出色。
北野武这个人梗超多吧，结果这部拍成了流畅且略普通的主要讲师徒情的片。里面竟然有一句“圣诞快乐”！
Mark Rylance是神！娱乐性超强的瓶中形式商业片，几个演员一间店铺一夜之间讲一个纯靠反转推进，虽然套路却十足精彩的故事，既是回归旧制的侦探小说，也是绅士文化的再度发掘。与Kingsman同出奇观化英国传统的创作路线，选取小格局空间戏的手法高明很多。战后芝加哥黑帮不同种族势力暗流涌动的火药味在裁缝不疾不徐的手艺指南中卸去视觉刺激的血腥辛辣，只剩单纯表演调动一根话剧舞台穿引藏闪的缝线给诡计拆线，翻手衲入新的谜团。这部电影就像古董柜上精巧的水晶球，是无论评分多少都会喜欢的类型，不追求深刻亦无宏大野心，只是用心支配优秀演员完成了一次漂亮剪裁和收尾，正如Mr. Burling所说，我是手艺人不是艺术家。全部惊喜都要归功于久违的恰到好处。尽管它不是Rylance的魅影缝匠，幻想素材已经足够燃烧。
其实片名翻译成缝匠谍影听起来也蛮有趣的不是吗？
不是被观众嘲笑，是逗观众笑。一日为师，终身为师。师徒的羁绊太好哭了。年轻时渴望走红，身边有那么多人，到头来功成名就，却变得孑然一身。人生呐。
CG不舒服。
精巧舞台风。剪裁得体，严丝合缝，不过也就挣个面子。
舞台剧式封闭空间的小成本悬疑片，看完我第一感受就是：稳！太稳了！故事结构、台词设计、叙述的推进节奏，全程都非常稳。
此前对北野武拍电影之前的人生经历知之甚少，看完这部电影，不得不说北野武滚烫的人生真是充满了传奇色彩啊。
