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!
当Penelope穿着Everyone should be feminist的T恤拿着刀切菜的时候，我看见阿莫多瓦对女性的爱意，但片子里女性和人类历史的故事呼应稍显牵强，虽然我明白他想要讲的，I mean 我完全走偏掉进Penelope是直的还是弯的无法自拔。
因为西班牙内战前后的历史可能是除中国外我最熟悉的一段了，于是开头大概抓住了阿莫多瓦这次的政治线索，电影也就显得更“亲近”一些。内容上自然可以代入政治的交错复杂、或远或近的联系，但结构上不应该是这种政治式的“顾左右而言他”，否则就会像这部一样“莫名其妙”。阿莫多瓦不从具体而微进入，而是直接挖掘历史遗迹，这份不变真诚和恳切仍然让我万分敬重。
并不算得上精彩，除了阿莫多瓦式的画面配色，以及非常美丽的女二号。
不管是深埋在地下多年的先祖，还是包裹在襁褓中的婴孩，都需要寻求自己真实身份的认同。阿莫多瓦这次讲述了一个大伦理层面嵌套着小伦理的故事。
正反作为证词想必都合适。作为阿莫多瓦的作品或许并非靠前的序列，但处理如此狗血的情节还能不失精致，举手投足尽显高级，倒也是种水准的体现。在一年中的最后一天——除夕看到了这部，片尾的字幕是关于不会沉默，听到波米在展开讲讲里面是关于沉默，这都是2021，这都是活着的当下。
喜欢片头与片尾的设计。这两条线的衔接有点生硬，最后的字幕有点强行正确了......
不愧是妇联美队班底，虽然整体极其俗套，但每个俗套的段落质量都非常在线。介于《007》和《谍影重重》之间的高仿货，角色和故事是基于《谍影重重》，夸张的剧情和阵仗偏向007。遗憾的是，没有前者的现实感和思考，离谱的剧情也没有后者的品质和调性。在窠臼和不落窠臼之间反复横跳，最后还是疯狂拥抱窠臼。反派太low，幼稚话多，拉低了整体档次。有几句台词还是让人印象深刻的，讽刺并试图跳出烂俗的套路：“今天只不过是另一个星期四”“击中一个人这么难么？”“没人会扔上膛的枪”……
都2022年了，反派刑讯的手段还只是拔指甲直到拔了两枚指甲之后才想到可以拿人质来威胁对方？都2022年了，情报局的外包特别行动小组还敢在欧洲街头兴风作浪明明装备了重火力和火箭筒偏偏就是杀不掉被拷在石倚上的一个人？都2022年了，还有编导没参考过乌克兰空展上战机事故后地面上血肉狼藉的惨状而布置出市区经历大战后混乱整洁的场景？都2022年了，瑞恩高斯林还还接这种就只是充当性玩具说出“扔一把空枪”这种无聊而莫名其妙台词的角色？都2022年了，还有编剧还能设计出连变态都变态得如此无趣挟持小屁孩自信满满地要和别人单挑结果打不赢就掏刀最后还打输了的反派？
女人可以向未来予希望，也可以向过去要答案。
母亲与祖国，新生与逝者、未来与过往，“父亲的不在场”，快门记录了时代，也承载了历史。
这种电影就是单看一部不会觉得特别惊艳 但折服于导演持续不断旺盛稳定的创作力和西班牙配色
伟大的艺术家阿莫多瓦 世界应为你起立鼓掌！
虽然本身缝合了太多东西但难以改变核心就是想拍成无脑剧情不重要的《John Wick》，但是看到所有人都 out of nowhere 见到小女孩就挪不动腿的万年老梗真的忍不住翻白眼。最重要的是应该是唯一卖点的枪战肉搏各种动作戏真的太拉跨了。Ryan Gosling 的颜我本来就 get 不了，现在脸有点发福全程像个薯蛋头先生。
UGC Rotonde 家族史视角是动人的，逝去的先辈和新生的血液，女主对于传承的执着呈现出一种女性行使生育权的主动性。两位各自承载过往故事的单身母亲之间的关系也十分迷人，如果情欲的部分不那么轻率直接，我会更喜欢。
卧槽，我们社会主义大叔不应该爱憎分明吗？那丫我恨不能抽丫的，这导演凭什么对丫无差别的爱呢？
就是那种，十年前在广州地王广场还是哪买盗版dvd的时候看到有眼熟的明星+看起来略有噱头的剧情介绍就顺手买回来，在一个百无聊赖的晚上看完，不好看也不难看，看完立刻忘记所有剧情，就这样度过了宁静、寡淡而平庸的一天，的那种电影。
其实是真实永远无法沉默，存在永远无法篡改，事实无法回避。我们都有来处，这个来处是永恒存在。不管是真实的战争之后，还是生活的残垣之下。三个母亲，其实就是母亲的三个面：慌乱受伤、坚韧肯定、自由意志。面对孩子，面对男人，面对家人，面对历史的存在，她们复杂但寻求。阿莫多瓦太还是那双平行的眼👏平行地注视着女人。
但整部片子充斥着大量的女权政治正确，结局又很突兀地涉及到西班牙内战遗留问题。
看完好喜欢，差点因为译名错过。生与死永远是共存的，交错着前进；男人和女人永远是糊涂的，但他们又是历史和生命的创造者；电影色彩简直一绝，如此干净、鲜亮，仿佛每一种颜色都有内容，家具的选取陈设也是典型的西班牙古典现代风；剧情时而可预测又充满戏剧性，让人临其境又猛得抽出来，突然忆起高中暑假追着阿尔莫多瓦电影看的时刻，他的电影真的有魔力，让人好向往处处西班牙语的生活，而且不愧是作为男性拍女性最细腻的一位！
这次有点气力不够 影像就好像一直在撑着继续
