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!。故事发生在深夜的伦敦。这个繁华的都市最近连续发生了多起“吸血鬼伤人事件”。在一幢位于郊外的屋宅内，主人公被什么人唤醒后才发现自己不知道为什么来到了这里。眼前的陌生男子名叫福尔摩斯，为了追查吸血鬼而来。他说他进来时大门并没有上锁，但是现在所有出口都被锁上了。要想离开这里，就必须先破解分布在房屋中的谜题……。机竜之助（市川雷蔵）は京の島原で宇津木兵馬（本郷功次郎）と対決するが、靄の中で両者とも互いを見失ってしまう。怪盗・裏宿の七兵衛（見明凡太朗）は島原にいるお松（山本富士子）の身請に向かう途中、負傷した兵馬と出会い、共にお松のいる木津屋を訪れる。七兵衛はつい先刻まで兵馬が戦っていた相手こそ、お松の祖父を斬った浪人であることを伝える。仇が同じ竜之助であることから、激しい復讐の念を燃やす兵馬とお松。兵馬は新選組を抜け、3人は竜之助の後を追う。竜之助はふとしたきっかけから丹後屋敷に逗留していたが、江戸へ向かい、上野の旅籠で浪人・酒井新兵衛(小堀阿吉雄)と出会う。酒井の引き合わせによって天誅組の総裁・松本奎堂（羅門光三郎）と行動を共にすることとなるが、天誅組は大敗を喫し、藤堂藩、彦根藩などに追われるようになった。その最中、竜之助は、追手が投げ込んだ爆薬のため失明...。
