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!。玛丽（米歇尔·拉罗克 Michèle Laroque 饰）是一位单身母亲，独自抚养着12岁的儿子马鲁斯（加斯帕德·梅耶尔 Gaspard Meier 饰），母子之间的感情非常的要好。虽然玛丽离开上一段婚姻已经很久很久了，但是她并没有做好再开启另一段婚姻的打算，现在的她有着稳定的工作和一个温柔体贴的情人，婚姻似乎并不是生活中的必需品。 可是，对于马鲁斯来说，一切都不同了，他非常渴望能够拥有一个父亲，而玛丽也知道儿子的心思，这无形之中给她带来了很大的压力。某日，邻居罗伯特（文森特·佩雷斯 Vincent Perez 饰）闯入了母子两人的生活中，这个邋遢又谢顶的男人让玛丽对他的第一印象十分的糟糕。。年轻姑娘西尔瓦娜是个交际花，被人杀害。此案由法官保尼法齐负责审理。审讯调查过程中，法官发现大企业家桑多·诺齐诺有重大嫌疑。死者的日记也证实了这种猜测。但是，桑多·诺齐诺是个有势力有影响的大人物，是一块搬不动的大石头，过去也曾在多次逃避法律的制裁。大企业家桑多虽然不是任何政府机关的行政官员，但是他同整个社会的政界、财界和司法界有着千丝万缕的联系，资本主义社会活动中的核心是金钱，也是他权势构筑的基础和...。
