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!。美国总统大选进入白热化阶段，两位候选人在之前的得票数旗鼓相当。距离俄亥俄州的初选还有一周时间，两人都把此州当做具有决定性意义的阵地，开始明争暗斗。候选人之一莫里斯（乔治·克鲁尼 George Clooney 饰）竞选团队的二号人物斯蒂芬（瑞恩·高斯林 Ryan Gosling 饰）年轻有为，此时遭到另一位候选人竞选团队的首脑汤姆·达菲（保罗·吉亚玛提 Paul Giamatti 饰）的挖角，但斯蒂芬对莫里斯忠心耿耿，并不为所动。另一方面，斯蒂芬深深为新来的实习生莫莉（埃文·蕾切尔·伍德 Evan Rachel Wood 饰）吸引，两人迅速打得火热。 不料，泰晤士报的记者艾达（玛丽莎·托梅 Marisa Tomei 饰）得知了斯蒂芬与汤姆的会面，以此要挟斯蒂芬透露政选内幕。焦头烂额的斯蒂芬又在与莫莉的交往中发现了一个惊人的秘密……。奥麦莉是一名高级海军军官，同时也是一名带着两个孩子的单身母亲，她和高级将领同时也是战斗英雄的尼尔森建立了恋爱关系，但不久她发现尼尔森已经结婚了，并很快断绝了他们之间的关系，就在奥麦莉试图重新开始自己生活时，一天夜晚，她被一个持枪入侵者从睡梦中惊醒，经过搏斗，她开枪打死了那个人。法庭判定她是误杀，但罪犯却是尼尔森，军方怕丑闻泄露影响不好，所以准备以谋杀罪名成立判奥麦莉入狱。被指派给她的辩护律师将通过军事法庭程序为她辩护使她重获自由。。
