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!。爱达(霍利·亨特 Holly Hunter 饰)是语言表达上有障碍的女人,她所有的心思情绪全都凭着那美妙的钢琴乐曲飘然而出。丈夫早逝,她只好带着女儿一起远赴新西兰改嫁给当地的殖民者斯图尔特。当他们到达新西兰的海滩时,丈夫嫌搬运钢琴麻烦,想把它扔在海滩。爱达在海滩边疯狂地弹奏 着钢琴,宣泄着内心的不满与苦闷。 邻居贝因(哈威·凯特尔 Harvey Keitel 饰)听出了爱达内心的苦闷,于是用八十亩土地和斯图尔特交换了钢琴,并请爱达天天到他家来教他弹钢琴,承诺一堂课可以换回一个琴键。爱达欣然同意了。贝因深爱着爱达,通过一节节钢琴课,两人的情感渐渐滋长。。
