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!
无论如何，谢谢徐峥：打破京圈垄断，our southern lives also matter！
是冲着“中年女人对于爱情的态度”去看的，结果大失所望。如果中年女人面对爱情就是比年轻人多说几句鸡汤的话，那我不如去看智慧背囊来得更快。上海话是特点，但是导演构景力好一般啊…16:9的屏幕完全没拍出来上海的美，很多个群戏的时候画面重心也是偏的。整个片子的精华可能就是老乌那一句“假的，我编的”和他不易察觉的泪水。其他的都是训练我上海话听力来的吧。😅看完很想问导演：你确实你晓得你自己想讲什么的哇？这一点也不灵啊。
很上海味，很有格调，很传奇，也很成熟，这才是华语电影里比较有意思有情趣的男男女女电影。
打不出来星就挺好的很巧妙有点浪漫也很好笑但是底色一点喜欢不起来那种人到中年的俗气的必然性就。无法消化一点没意思甚至有点腻心〇
5老白 你还是快跑
和索菲亚罗兰一夜情的老乌有可能是真的，但在上海不收亚历山大房租的房东老白，是绝对只活在电影里。

最后费里尼的《爱情神话》看的是盗版资源，就像当年电影学院经典电影赏析课上放的盗版《罗生门》一样，具有某种幽默感。
是爱情的神话也是电影的神话。
中年人的情感，没有明确开始的信号，也不会有戛然而止的结束，即使说好不见，就算离婚或死去，也都不会轻易结束，像极了绵绵不绝的生活一样，一天接一天，一年接一年。
意外的还挺好看的 事实证明电影选对了语言是有多么的重要 上海话的节奏太流畅了 气质对了 故事对了 人物对了 电影就顺畅了合理了 徐峥的商业片风格拓宽了
意外之喜，你知道这年头在中国内地大银幕上还能看到意外之喜有多难嘛？ 比你遇到爱情都难
洒落的大人生活，有姿态有腔调有态度，如果40岁是这样，哪还有什么害怕。完全没有新人导演贪多不节制的毛病。感谢这部电影，让2021年日渐趋于单一的电影市场最后留下了一丝温暖。
华语mumblecore在沪语体系的醒酒器里开枝散叶。配角有戏，出彩；台词灵光，熨帖。成年人感情的讨论未见得多深刻，但够自在和欢畅。营销碰瓷伍迪艾伦的话，就底蕴和机灵都差了好几分了，慢慢来吧。
确实也几乎想打五星了（也许之后会改分），先留一手对老乌的告别是否需要留那么长存疑吧。逼仄弄堂中的优雅，日子虽然挺衣食无忧，但每个人也都一样有合理合情的烦忧，这或许就延续上旧上海的《太太万岁》，去讲述新上海的《甜蜜生活》吧。
另外，当影院的灯暗下来，电影却没有那么容易进入，导演仿佛急于把自己的巧思呈现给观众，镜头破碎，脉络并不连贯，影响我沉浸。
你要问我经验到的上海是不是这样，我觉得不是，但是纠结于还原度本来就是件愚蠢的事情。电影拍得自洽有趣，让外地人看了相信这是上海，浦东人看了相信这是浦西，闸北人看了相信是徐汇，这就够了。发明上海，让上海人都迷糊，以为自己还不够了解上海，这就是最好的上海电影。
成年人的爱情点到即止，体面得小心翼翼。格洛瑞亚关上KTV门的那一瞬，仿佛能听到她心里的叹息。
这可能关系到上海中产阶级的小资风貌，更多的其实关乎到在题材范畴日渐狭小的当下日渐膨胀的“元电影”式作者导向。我已经记不清今年看过多少部开口就是费里尼闭口就是塔可夫斯基的国产电影了。
好的文艺作品不一定非得和你的生活一模一样，就比如《红楼梦》，谁能过那样的生活，但又有谁会觉得《红楼梦》不够好呢？这部《爱情神话》也一样，虽然里面的人谈艺术、喝咖啡、操着一口流利的上海话、穿上万元的名牌鞋，但你从他们的行为举止中能感受到真实和真诚，这当然得益于剧本的扎实和演员的演绎。比起那些假装小资、标榜文艺的作品确实高出了一大截。
