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!
红拂夜奔的爱情神话消磨至死，此地不谈乳化，不作承诺，临期商品烹调情爱弧光，清粥小菜也当地久天长。余生恰恰可以谈天说笑着闲话浪荡过去。命题的沉重在昏昏欲睡的费里尼鉴赏被轻轻掸落，又以情景喜剧追踪时代编年和城市性情的手法，构建无数具体生活物件和上海坐标组成的时空记忆，共鸣与认同附着稳定周期循环的舒适空间——正如老白家那张象征化解冲突，生活继续的沙发——真正神话再度落地生根被制造。毫无影像语法和摄影审美可言，但依然，隐形审查的固存常态里能看到这样嘲笑中年男性的精致文本已属惊喜。编造的笑谈瓦解神话的罗马，下坡路仰望月亮，何必爬山苦等日出。小人物日常叙事虽然琐屑安全，自有不必挑明的对抗宏大和谐乐章的讲述意义和内在力量，的确是回避大象的奇观迷恋，但如果连想象浪漫的卑微都要斥之以悬浮高空，我们还剩下什么？
是一出轻松的爱情小品。人只有在面对自己时，真正表达自己时，才会有真正的深度。而男人看女人，女人看男人，其实都不会那么深刻，显现的还是表象的状态。其实没有人是白纸，也不会有人是透明的。人是理性情感混杂的动物，有的人简单点，有的人复杂点，口是心非是常态，大家都有自己内心的秘密，没有谁能被一眼看透。
到外滩十八号剧场聊天那段像是抽离出来的一段议论；结尾电影里的人看着电影院的我们，我们看着电影里的人
p.s.好几处拍到我熟悉的上海街角，真真是感动了。
走了太多下坡路？那就爬山去吧！所谓人生，忽然爱情，大抵如此。
外地人在上海生活
仿佛就是在我家门口拍的，都是我走过的路，住过的屋，看过的剧和展，反复拍摄过的春日鲜绿梧桐与疯狂落叶的香樟。
画室的三人谈话，两场聚会，阳台和门槛男女主对话，鞋匠的男女之见都写的非常有趣且深刻。
个人一直以来不太喜欢徐峥，不喜欢他身上老练的精明的味道。但是不得不承认，他在这部片里的表演让我很满意。没想过有一天有机会在同一步片里看到吴越，马伊琍和倪虹洁，看到他们不再困于刻板的“妈妈”角色，在讲她们的情情爱爱，希望有越来越多适合她们的角色和片子～
强烈推荐你去电影院看这部电影
灵啊灵，看的过程是轻松愉悦的，而且还有几次让我鼻子酸酸捏。其实我个人看下来并不觉得就是个“三女争一男”的故事，虽然有些不足，但导演想表达的观点是我喜欢的，每个人都应该有掌握自己人生的勇气，要勇敢地点开一部电影，哪怕最后发现是一部烂片也没关系。配乐居然有我喜欢的白密和布朗尼，还都是两首我最爱的歌，不过说实话我觉得用的确实不算合适哈哈哈。鼓励鼓励，是我会想回看的电影，期待导演之后的作品~
差点因片名而错过的一部佳作。很自然很生活，几条熟悉街道，几片阳光树影，几段爆肚金句，看的很舒服，配乐选曲也很到位，小而美的电影这么拍就对了。
跟我喜欢还潮的歌一样，知道有点缝合怪的意思，但就是好听好看呀。
剧本扎实，人物丰满，诙谐幽默，精准抓住了上海的气质~
绝对的惊喜之作！把上海人的精致、精明、生活趣味，描绘的淋漓尽致。与其说是爱情故事，不如说是属于这座城市的人文小传。迷影情结也是很精彩的彩蛋了~全片沪语非常棒，看完了简直想搬去弄堂里的小洋房住住
拍上海，终于不用拍江边高楼、陆家嘴白领和民国电车了。台词密度高、包袱巧、节奏感强，几位几乎都是上戏出身的演员也张力十足，全片沪语对白，把那种可能这里独有的，清高、市井又随时自嘲的文艺中年的微妙腔调表达得十分到位。简直是伍迪艾伦在上海！
有趣！想记住其中的一句两句经典台词，结果看完后什么都记不得了，挽着老婆的手，过好自己的日子得了！
两度为老乌和他的故事落泪😭😭
很明显是过誉了，完全看不进去，几个笑点挺好笑，但是融入不进去。作为曾经的文艺青年，如今的已婚世俗中年，和媳妇俩人都觉得这片好奇怪，不知道好在哪里
没有爱情也没有神话，只有一群有钱有闲的上海中年男/女人的浪漫生活。音乐强加分也强减分，在生活与艺术之间来回横跳。
