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!。海滩边，巨浪滔天，英武的骑士布洛克（马克斯•冯•西多 Max von Sydow 饰）与黑衣死神（本特•埃切罗特 Bengt Ekerot 饰）摆下了一盘生死棋局。在下棋的过程中，骑士在回顾自己的人生，所见所闻暗合圣经的图景。十四世纪十字军东征后期，欧洲大陆瘟疫蔓延，民不聊生。布洛克曾遇到过马戏团的一对夫妻，丈夫笃信神明，无比虔诚，妻子则更加现实，唯命是从。他们的相濡以沫让幸福唾手可得。骑士在树林中邂逅了铁匠夫妇。铁匠非常粗鲁，他的妻子很是风骚，他们在树林里对着路人演出双簧，仿佛一对可笑的傀儡。最后，在经历过集体膜拜的祭奠仪式后，武士和他的朋友们再次遇到了死神，曾经的无助与恐惧，愤怒与怀疑，都化作了人生的诘问…… 本片获第10届戛纳电影节评委会大奖。。Presenter Hannah Fry reveals how much our planet can change in just a single day and how these daily changes are essential to our existence.
