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!
觉醒的AI，存档再来的西部世界。即便算不上多新鲜的创意，电影也拍得非常流畅。然而，对于所表现和歌颂的游戏NPC，电影再努力，也只是游戏的向下兼容成品，如同没能面世的“自由世界2”。
怎么会有这么烂俗无聊的电影啊，瞬间就觉得之前抨击的《头号玩家》好太多了。Taika Waititi出现的每一秒都尴尬爆表，好好当导演不香么？Jodie Comer的脸完完全全不适合大荧幕，气质过于灾难，看了她之后瞬间觉得Florence Pugh顺眼多了，真的没有对比就没有伤害……
头号玩家/西部世界和楚门的结合体。都是眼熟的演员。老板的肤浅演得好夸张哈哈。得亏是3D游戏，真要是沉浸式还有键盘什么事。这个NPC AI 善良大度又幸运，剧情比较比较顺利比较爽，虽然实际上只是从一个混乱世界观的游戏跳到另一个秩序自由的环境，但提升自我意识刷新世界观也挺好的。基友不用工作还是太梦幻了，还不如咖啡师和大胸妹子的觉醒。现实如我，也没法从一个城市跳到另一个城市，是不是桎梏更多是心态的问题。
“我爱你。但我只是写给你的一封情书。写这封情书的人就在你的世界你的身边。”我也希望，会有一个姑娘，她能真正喜欢我送出的画，能真正读懂我所写的诗，能从心里听见我的弦外之音。
三星半，剧本没有特别像游戏玩家写出来的，有些地方比较想当然。但是有些地方玩梗还是可以，介于有趣和无聊之间的作品吧，可以一看。
杭州出差在电影院看的，还是4D 版本，椅子会随着车战等场景转动，还会喷出味道和气体。NPC这个概念我也早就想过，只是电影里面拍出来，震撼力就更强烈了。#20210913
娱乐性不错，但这个题材稍微打磨下，其实完全可以处理得更加有深度的。如今这样就只是蜻蜓点水般地一掠而过，多少有点可惜了。
Guy让我想起《银翼杀手2049》中的K。他们作为工具、手段被创造，又都经历了幻灭进而试图在荒谬、虚假的世界中寻求自由与意义，最终摆脱工具性，实现了存在的目的性，他们都是“more human than humans”的角色。
好甜好快乐呜呜呜呜啊我疯狂推眼镜抹泪……顺便Joe终于不再是男妈妈了（
人類激活 AI 自主意識，和 AI 激活人類情感意識這個互相呼應的點即有對未來浪漫關係的想像，也能引發我們對另一種新型態生命的探討。
可以看，但是很难受。一句话，好莱坞的编剧的1998年能写出楚门的世界，2021年却只能弄出这失控玩家。写这个本子的人简直就是工贼，玩弄游戏里的点子然后给游戏树靶子，npc保护协会马上就要成立了。美国人是离了族群分化就不会说话了么？感觉整个故事架构和赛博坦金刚一样都是一个“狗狗是人类最好的朋友”叙事，充满了殖民遗风，在剧情里又处处刻意的在点女权，blm，自由（然而性格代码已经决定），简直是最大的笑话与虚伪。
老掉牙的俗套，临近结尾的演讲直接让我想点关闭，都2022了，还来解决问题全靠演讲？特效还不错，最近刚好在做火焰和爆炸，片子给了不少有价值的参考。
设定挺有意思的，游戏世界里的NPC有了自我意识。女主跟NPC相爱，最后提醒一句做游戏的人才是真正爱你的人，程序员的浪漫了。有些地方还挺搞笑的，比如大佬，现生场景对话好枯燥，老板有毛病砸自己的游戏还砸服务器有毒啊！画面制作不错，看的是 4D一直晃晃晃
看个游戏电影想起了我以前玩模拟人生、模拟城市。
还行吧，比《头号玩家》也就差了100多倍情怀
NPC玩家的自我觉醒，土拨鼠之日般的重复度日应该会戳中社畜的心，可惜后半段代码之争实在很无聊，搞了半天虚拟爱情最终还是要以珍惜眼前人的俗套收尾，而且反派boss也真的太弱了，除了祭出大块头提供了些笑料，另外有版权真好呀，神盾和光剑随便用，美队还能打酱油，塔图姆也还蛮搞笑的。
an excellent update of Truman's World. The only regret I have is about the ending, why on earth did Guy downgrade himself as a love letter to Millie? that's like opposite to what the AI is all about. He is not just something created by Keys, he's an independent mind with his own feelings and his own world of life! Uh, this really drives me nuts
我也会唱玛丽亚凯莉的这首！
动作戏亮眼（片尾大只佬那部分除外），几处慢镜头恰当华丽，女主的角色装扮非常游戏且好看，振金盾牌和光剑的登场让我这个美队粉星战粉一本满足。
雷诺兹本人是保证了电影的娱乐性了，笑点不断，朱迪科默表现也亮眼，但受限于成本也达不到《头号玩家》的那种特效完成度，这个设定如果让演反派的那位导也许会更好，不过结尾加的那段爱情戏还是挺意外的，以及那一连串电影彩蛋。（6.5/10）
