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!。Netflix预定5集限定剧《意料之外的凶手 The Unlikely Murderer》,2021年播出。 这部瑞典剧集为半虚构故事,基于Thomas Pettersson在2008年出版的书籍创作。Robert Gustafsson饰演平面设计师Stig Engström,他被认为很可能刺杀了瑞典前首相奥洛夫·帕尔梅。 该剧讲述1986年帕尔梅遇刺后,Engström凭借大胆和幸运,以及警方在案件办理中的迷茫,成功逃脱了法律制裁,直到他死去。 主演还包括Eva Melander、Mikael Persbrandt和Peter Andersson。Joel Spira、Emil Almén、Shanti Roney、Torkel Petterson、Henrik Norlén、Lia Boysen、Magnus Krepper、Björn Beng...。由于两位假面骑士的活跃,邪恶组织·杰鲁修卡被消灭,但是首领又创建了新组织·毒蝎帮(又译“迪斯特龙”)。本乡猛的学弟·风见志郎偶然目击毒蝎帮的行动,而受到该邪恶组织的追杀,之后父母以及妹妹都被毒蝎帮的怪人所杀。志郎为了向毒蝎帮军复仇而要求1号和2号替他改造,但二人知道改造人的悲哀,而拒绝了他。后来1号和2号落入了毒蝎帮的陷阱而陷入危机,志郎舍命相救,被机关所伤而奄奄一息,为了救他一命,1号、2号不得不将他改造成改造人·假面骑士V3。。
