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!。一个烦恼的青春期问题青年雷米Rémy（奥利维耶·巴泰勒米饰）因为红头发成了他周围人恒定的嘲笑对象，并不断为此发生冲突，即便在他的足球队里也不例外。在一次与他姐姐的争吵之后，自闭的雷米离家出走。这样他就搭上了心存一丝苦涩的心理医生帕特里克Patrick（樊尚·卡塞尔饰）的车，不料，也长有一头红发的帕特里克是个愤世嫉俗的人，尽管两人年龄相差甚多，但雷米的境遇却博得了帕特里克的同情。帕特里克决定帮助眼前这个受到众人蔑视的男孩，于是他们走到了一起，一同去面对道德虚伪的世界秩序。雷米挑选了他心目中的自由之地爱尔兰，他希望在那里人们不会用红头发来衡量他的种族身份问题。而帕特里克为了伸展自由意志的界限，意图替代雷米父亲的权利，不顾雷米想法的非常荒谬，反而促成此行。然而，残酷暴力和病态冷漠的世界让憧憬光明前景之行的他们最终成为一对可爱的输家。。
