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!。故事发生在决定中国历史走向的1949年，恢弘壮伟的三大战役相继落下帷幕，中国人民解放军在四万万人民的支持下取得了解放战争的胜利。共产党邀请国民党代表前往北平和谈，以尽可能减少对百姓的荼毒和伤害。而在和谈的表象下，国军方面则紧锣密鼓备战，企图划江而治，分庭抗礼。位于江西的古城梓溪狼悚山，既是国民党的势力范围，也是一个土匪猖獗的凶险所在。土匪头子贺云峰（朱雨辰 饰）在山头林立的江湖中左右搏杀，风头正劲，在结拜兄弟保安司令郑国忠（林熙越 饰）的支持下更成为不可小觑的一方霸主。意外的邂逅，彻底改变了贺云峰和郑国忠的命运。贺偶然救助了共产党陈子墨（杨雪 饰），由此和郑发生裂痕。 而随着新中国建立后的大势所趋，这些江湖中人都将面临重大的抉择……。
