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!。民国乱世，孤儿来福因家族被“狐仙灭门”流落江湖，在破庙习得异术成为游方术士。十年后，他借破解“黄仙娶亲”案撕开复仇序幕，却卷入神秘未婚妻白小姐的豪门纠葛。哈市诡案连环，迷雾重重，来福同顾警官联手破局。怎料白府认亲揭开惊天反转灰仙夺舍的幕后黑手竟是当年弑师的周府叛徒！来福联手顾警官捣毁白仙改运邪阵，殊死对决中揭开戏法班主勾结日寇、以五行人魈助敌借运的叛国阴谋。大仇终于得报，来福却决定抛下万贯家财，仗剑走天涯。骄纵白小姐与飒爽顾警官也为了帮助来福继续追寻杀父仇人的踪迹而一同踏上新的征途，可谓五仙诡案化作江湖侠影，血仇终了处亦是情债开端……。
