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!。卢克（斯科特·伊斯特伍德 Scott Eastwood 饰）是一名职业牛仔，他年轻气盛，身强体壮，充满了阳刚之朝气，周身散发着迷人的男性荷尔蒙气味。某日，卢克在一场牛仔竞技比赛中邂逅了名为苏菲亚（布丽特妮·罗伯森 Brittany Robertson 饰）的女孩，俊男美女之间，霎时间便燃起了熊熊的爱情的火焰。 然而，他们一个是奔放粗犷的牛仔，一个是细腻文艺的大学生，性格上的差异和对未来的不同规划令两人之间的矛盾愈演愈烈，渐渐走上了两条不同的道路。就在此时，两人在一场意外之中解救了一位名为伊拉（杰克·休斯顿 Jack Huston 饰）的老人，在听闻老人讲述了自己和妻子露丝（奥娜·卓别林 Oona Chaplin 饰）之间浪漫而又伤感的爱情故事后，卢克和苏菲亚对他们的感情重新燃起了希望。。
