剧情简介
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!。影片讲述了一个小男孩成长的故事。9岁男孩奥斯卡·史埃尔的父亲在911事故中丧生，史埃尔听到了父亲去世前的5通电话留言，从此便留下了失眠、害怕电梯等后遗症。无意中，他在父亲的书柜上找到了一个写着“布莱克”的信封和一把钥匙。随后他在每个周末走遍纽约五个城区，寻找那个名叫“布莱克”的男人以及钥匙可以打开的柜子。。世世代代都靠养蜂业维持的苏玛斯市出现了杀人蜂，哈利斯和勒里向人们发出了警告，但是市民和农民却抱着怀疑的态度，不愿意支持他们的工作。蜂群大举袭击了村民之后，人们终于清醒了，勒里猜度杀人蜂是在寻找栖息的地方，而杀人蜂确实是在寻找栖息之地，它们占据了展览厅，很多人包括哈利斯的家人都被困在其中。哈利斯和勒里能否把人们求出生天呢？。
