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!。民间艺人“破风筝”抗战时因不甘心作日寇的奴隶，带着老婆大凤和义女珍珠，忍痛离开北平。十年中跑遍汉口、重庆、成都、昆明、桂林等地，到处演唱宣传抗战的新鼓书。十年来，“破风筝”和方珍珠，受尽了官僚买办、大小特务和流氓恶霸的敲诈和侮辱。 日本投降后，“破风筝”满怀希望，兴高采烈地回到北平，天真地以为苦日子可熬到头了，以后可平平安安的卖艺，凭本事吃饭，没想到北平仍是那些特务、流氓和恶霸的天下。“破风筝”一家刚回到北平，特务李将军，狗腿子向三元和专写些风花雪月的鼓词去剥削艺人的孟小樵，就开始在“破风筝”和方珍珠身上打主意。王力是一位心地光明为人正直的文艺工作者，多少年来，他替“破风筝”写了许多宣传抗战的鼓词，而不收任何报酬，是被 “破风筝”信任的惟一好人。“破风筝”经过多少天的奔走活动，好歹组成了班子，租下园子。可就在开锣的那一天，因为得罪了李将军，李便令狗腿子向三元，带着一群流氓砸了戏园子，使得“破风筝”、方珍珠及艺人们流离失所。虽然日子艰苦，但他们终于撑下去了，始终没有向恶势力低头。 北平解放了，受苦的人们翻了身。“破风筝”、方珍珠都参加了学习班，学习新道理，他们已不再是受人鄙视的“唱玩意的”。而成了受人尊重的文艺工作者。素来与“破风筝”不合作的相声艺人白二立，经过学习也与“破风筝”合作了。艺人们在新社会里，团结进步，过上了幸福的生活。。
