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!。麦克是查普曼公司的一名职业经理人。平时的工作就是凭借其小时候主演的电视剧《与麦克在一起》而赢得的知名度来招募儿童演员，经过形象设计和专业表演指导后向需要制作广告片的生产商推荐，然后按照比例收取费用维持公司的运行。为此，麦克的身边聚集着一群各具特长的孩子。巴瑞就是这群孩子中的一位，只是巴瑞的傲慢使彼此之间的合作显得并不默契。 感恩节这天，麦克为一家火鸡快餐店开张剪彩后，在大街上碰到了一个叫安吉的小姑娘。由于家庭的原因，安吉养成了偷窃的恶习。在看过安吉因再次行窃而被失主抓住的一番表演后，一种直觉告诉麦克，在安吉的身上有着其他孩子无与伦比的表演天赋。于是，麦克冒以父亲的名义把安吉从围观的人群中解救出来，并达成了合作的协议。 第二天，安吉带着生活用品不请自到地住到了麦克脏乱不堪的家里。经过短暂的培训后，麦克就把安吉推荐给了阳光灿烂饼业集团的老总柯可兰先生。结...。
