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!。东京都内发生了三起杀人事件。警方从所有案发现场都遗留有的无法解释的数列推断出这是一系列带有预告信息的连环杀人案，并就此展开了侦查。警视厅搜查一课的精英刑警新田浩介破译出该数字预示着下一次作案的场所，他由此推测东京柯尔特西亚酒店将会成为第4起命案现场。然而凶手是谁却毫无线索。警方因此决定潜入东京柯尔特西亚进行调查，新田则要扮作前台人员追查凶手。受命指导他的是东京柯尔特西亚的优秀前台员工山岸尚美。 面对接连出现的来历不明的住客，作为刑警的新田“以逮捕犯人为第一要务”，试图剥下来客的“假面”，而作为酒店工作人员的尚美则从“以确保客人的安全为第一要务”的原则出发，希望保护来客的“假面”，两人势如水火。新田和尚美因为彼此的立场差异数次发生冲突，然而随着潜伏调查的推进，他们逐渐理解了彼此作为专业人士的价值观，两人之间开始萌生出不可思议的信赖关系。 在这个过程中，案情迅速发展。警方和酒店都被逼入窘境无路可退。。故事发生在加利福尼亚州马里布的十年间，四名受欢迎的高中男生在毕业之夜神秘失踪。我们将跟随超自然现象调查小组，在马里布山上的一个神圣洞穴中寻找男孩们失踪的线索，最终揭开可怕的真相。。
