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!。对生活绝望的男主人公安东尼想要在地铁卧轨自杀时遇见了同样想自杀女主人公蕾恩。 阴差阳错， 两人都未自杀成功。蕾恩因自杀未遂怪罪于安东尼，并坚决要求跟着安东尼回家，直到她有勇气再去自杀。安东尼很厌烦蕾恩，直到有一次安东尼再次去自杀被蕾恩拦住。两人终于打开了心扉，互相倾诉自己的故事。安东尼与她的前妻离婚，他有个可爱的孩子迈克，大部分时间由他抚养。他很爱迈克，有一天因为他的疏忽导致车祸夺走了他儿子的生命。他本想自杀去陪儿子，但最后一刻他退缩了，从此一直活在自责当中。而蕾恩的父母从小就离异。父亲一走了之再也没见过她。她跟着她的母亲生活，但她的母亲却没有尽到母亲的职责。从小在孤僻的环境下长大的蕾恩非常渴望父母的爱和完整的家。后来她追逐自己的演员梦，却悲哀的成为了一个舞娘。她为自己的生活感到悲哀，没有活下去的动力。 两人逐渐互相关心， 扶持，开展新的生活。。
