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!
加油!
不知道这个片在国内能撑多久 很久前我献血时就看过了这个片 觉得还不错 至少这是我的菜 叙事在后端有点散漫 不过音乐和感情真的是一流的
车厢里，荒野上，工厂车间，温馨家庭，每个空间的感觉和作用都拍得好清晰。选择“石头”来代表这些houseless的人也很贴切玩味。
太遗憾不能在大银幕上看这个片子。Swankie的故事最触动我，因为我有相同的经历：某年法国的海边，和朋友夜里去海边。嶙峋的怪石，深蓝的海，巨大的月亮，远处灯塔的微光。当时心里也在想，如果现在死了，我也没有遗憾。（电影的瑕疵我觉得是音乐，缺乏点想象力。）
You know what I'm talking about.
在公路和放逐的片子里并不能算特别打动我的。本来遇到各式各样的人和相忘于江湖的淡如水还挺感动的，但最后归结到要 remember 不太能 relate。大概是被迫而不是出于选择的缘故，回到原点的 Amazon 仓库真的有点 depressing，看的时候我想要的放逐重生自由感完全没有，内心满满的是女主在房间里听到雷声时的压迫感。
如果我禹禹独行还算平安
大了已经不太爱看这种消沉吧啦飘忽不定的片子了，放十年前可能比较喜欢。。想起在美国的自驾旅行，只是每一秒都是开心的
感觉这个选材无敌了，基本已经成功了六七成。残酷的现实和诗意的人的精神内核共存，无敌的美国路上风光给后者的呈现加分太多，所以其实对前者的启示是，要流浪，要做homeless，去美国。。。好吧，虽然觉得成功主要靠选材，但处理上毫无滞涩，纯熟老练，而且是自己改编的剧本，赵导演眼看就是李安后又一个毫无违和的可以把握美国精神内核的来自东方的导演。。。
开心！！！
片子不错 觉得女主真的是纠结了过去太久 无法move on 也无法接受其他人的好意 很可惜她并没有留在那个老头的家里…唯一不足的是 真的没啥剧情 看的无奈又纠结…我也想一直旅行 但是我要先存钱！lol ……推荐插曲：Oltremare by Ludovico Einaudi……不知道女导drama到底啥 不过恭喜获得金球最佳导演 但是感觉奥斯卡不会给她 从格莱美看 应该会给政治正确的作品
和昨天的《送你一朵小红花》在主题之上有着非常惊人的重合。
飘散着纪录片风格的drama, 让习惯了一种模式过人生的城市人看到了生命的其他活法，主动选择还是迫不得已。
用自然抚慰破碎之心，孤独也是途中风景。一成不变的阴郁色调让电影本身包裹一种寥落，于女主来说却是孤傲与洒脱。亡夫始终不能埋藏记忆深处，既然不想回归，那就一起在旷野流浪。全片在放逐与资本之间游移，Fern想逃离却无法避免的芥蒂始终横亘眼前，或许我们身处的时代，没人能真正挣脱社会生活。
Fern路过许多人的生命，不在一处逗留，但这样的奔波却是实际上一种怀念和停驻。有非常之多沉默的镜头，孤独空旷，没有表情，但诗意盎然。最初时候会想，Fern在这些时候都会想些什么呢？看到后面我放弃了这样的揣测，如同fern看着无人之处一样，只是这样看着她。

【2.5】世界与自然自有其能量蕴生，赵婷能捕捉到那些Magic Hour并加以调和入巡视众生的目光里，自然证明她还是敏锐的，却和内容并不紧密。全片着力均匀，因而缺乏深入和关键一击，始终诉说着陈词滥调。现在已经没有兴趣再肯定这般的电影了。
除了Fern跟Dave，剩下的演员应该都是真实的nomads。12岁工作到快退休， 然而退休金每月只有$550。因为科技的发展和全球化，面对结构性失业，那些在工厂工作了一辈子，只会一种技能的人， 很难再就业。Nomads只会越来越多。这是目前美国在经历的， 也是需要去解决的。

我觉得吧，有的时候，没有一切就是拥有一切。
