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!
柯南伯格始终能把肉体拍出内心的欲望，感觉就像是拿着小羽毛撩拨你的内心，心酥酥的。非常喜欢的就是全身缝着耳朵，感受着音乐的跳动，就像有生命跳动的音符。最后一幕，不怎么懂，生命能够自己创造欲望？
很有意思的体裁和设定。但美中不足的是主角的言行晦涩难懂，而对于细节的处理又粗枝大叶。我感觉这样的片子处理好的就是下一个银翼杀手。
工作十小时之后看这个真的有点too much，还是比《钛》好很多。
3.5。Surgery is new sex.
A desire to be open（想到看性谎言录像带时的那种想被割开的欲望
不太行，并不晦涩，但是执行没法还原或者说有效的表达好概念，最后变成流于假鬼假怪的自嗨。但是小K终于有演技了，表现还不错。看艺术片比较容易遇到的尴尬就是有佳句无佳章，也没有能控制观众情绪的能力，顶多属于一个桥段，或者是单纯为概念设计一个场景。但从文本变成视觉，变成电影，就需要很多东西才行，光靠演员玩先锋，硬造留白可不行。你说我要给概念打高分，就没啥意义了，毕竟拍的是电影。各演各的在这部片子里非常明显，简直是尴尬教科书。
这个脑洞真不是一般人有的，怪异，不适，大受震撼，这种未来概念又能被理解。这部电影可以看作是艺术与死亡最直观解读，艺术的灵感与器官的生长，艺术创作与身体解剖，切除器官与性爱的表达，艺术创作的疼痛，都很直观地表现出来。只不过非常有嘲讽意味的是，这种表演艺术迟早会把所有的器官掏空，直至死亡。身体变成一种表演和消费的奇观，生命的意义只有虚空。
肉体恐惧上升为肉体崇拜。壳是后期作品（《大都会》《星图》），核是早期作品（《感官游戏》《欲望号快车》《录像带谋杀案》），解刨具像化的 “内在美” ，享受创伤和痛苦带来的快感制造未来的新型性爱和人类。在这个时代还能看到保持自己独有风格的电影实属难得，老爷子再接再厉！
柯南堡每十几年赶一次时髦，80s的《录像带》讲点媒介病毒，90s的《感官游戏》讲点虚拟实境，这次讲无痛非进化，本来以为要对药物下手，结果只是提供个背景材料。表面上换汤换药，未来罪行压根没拍出什么耳目一新的东西，这个paradox of evolution还是自己抄袭自己用了《感官游戏》的两派对立，现实派、虚拟派是有的，但什么长器官派不长器官派、吃工业垃圾派不吃工业垃圾派就比较无趣了。用的道具也还是那点土得掉渣的内脏虫虫软东西。其实单纯讲进化、接入、体验、性瘾，前面两部已经拍得够好了。就身上打洞这点这个用滥的标准柯南堡性暗示，他还怕观众不懂非要大白话讲出来。这几年憋着不拍科幻好像也没啥长进啊
很怪异但是还是不够怪异。
发生异变后人们开始糟蹋自己的身体，手术直播表演全过程也不过是一场新型的性交。
没劲。调成 3 倍速、黑白色，当做低成本 cult 片还行。
不论观众怎么想，柯南伯格真诚地在用身体恐怖呈现自己定义的美感，这一点与那些顶着身体恐怖名号的人截然不同的。
比预期要好很多，身体恐怖和循环嵌套的虚实结合，确实有卖弄结构和符号之嫌，但是有启发
探讨科技，艺术和道德边界的矛盾，主题创意还不错，但是很多人物动机我没太看懂？ 主角卧底改造人世界结果最后自己变成改造人了？克里斯丁在里面的戏很迷，她到底是干什么的。
在身体改造方面极具艺术性。未来，器官毫无存在的必要，只会滋生细菌，后患无穷。人类与人工合二为一，在保证了生存的同时，突破身体的极限也成为了艺术表达的强有力方式之一。通过米开朗基罗式的重塑，人类探索了更多元的生存可能性。可是所呈现出来的效果过于平淡，不尽人意，最有冲击力的段落竟只是耳朵人跳舞。跟同样讲述突破身体机能的《钛》比起来几乎不是一个量级的，差距有点大。
在未来人类没有了痛感，可以生长出各式各样的器官，并且还能给这些器官来个专属的定制纹身，整容手术成了在身体上搞出各种丑化的花样，切割手术也成为了新型性爱，从传统美过渡到内在美完完全全就是对审美模式的反叛。而人类的进化居然是吃塑料！这样的异类也许会成为地球生态的拯救者，然而对于手握权利的当局而言这却是离经叛道的犯罪，所以人类未来究竟要何去何从？
大闷片，文戏冗长，讨论议题谜之过时，怎么看都觉得应该是导演20年前的作品。《裸体午餐》里的奇异器官，《欲望号快车》的性爱观念，《感官游戏》的骨头工艺，放在2022年就觉得有点吃老本了。
同样是body horror 这部没有钛那么引起不适 可能是因为surgery is the new sex的理念 所有血淋淋的手术场面都充满了x张力 这不是在切割器官 这是在doi 这是艺术 这是人类思想与审美的前沿 当然这与Viggo和蕾老师的精彩表演有很大的关系 两人在里面so hot
胜于概念。
