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!
周末宿舍电影时间～可能这种类似纪录的片子不太适合一起看吧，容易犯困。人类登上月球的那一刻，米鼠儿、Johnny Cash、披头士这些传奇人物在当时看来pretty causal，现在回看，都是如钻石般闪耀的时刻
上世纪60年代末美国社会即景，平淡顺滑的叙事很像在看回忆录，但这片子恐怕非得那一代成长起来的美国人才共情得了，外国观众还是看个热闹算了。
太空竞赛是一个对美国普通人的生活影响深远的时代
所以这是个动画纪录片。。期待人类重返月球。。
关于黄金时代的回忆。欣欣向荣的国家，无忧无虑的童年，星辰大海的梦想，充满无限可能性的未来。甚至让我也回想起我的青少年时期，90、00年代生机勃勃的中国，虽然当时举国上下的热情投向的是财富而不是太空。可惜人类没有走进一个曾经憧憬过的未来。盛景难在，尽管人类1969年已登上月球，但自1972年12月阿波罗17号返回地球之后，再也没有人回到那里。
“在战场上最可怕的事情不是受伤和死亡，而是看到别人在你面前被杀时，你却无能为力”……
种族导致的仇恨永远无法化解！人性本恶确实不假！
这种personal memoir性质的作品大概率是毁誉参半的，刚在《灵魂乐之夏》里看到那位说登月的钱不如给Harlem穷人的片段又在这里看到了，1969… what a year
终于明白了，普京大帝要发动2022年这次战争了，如果电影属实，那么希望乌克兰去纳粹化。
动画纪录片或者传记片的模子，扣出来的是美国60/70年代的家庭生活图景。非常可爱。
电影里的东乌克兰人痛苦了两个多小时，而现实中他们在地下室里等了普京&俄军八年多。。。
喜欢这种结构的故事，谁又能证明他没有登月呢，童年充满美好与幻想，平安长大太不容易啦。
四星：双线叙事，主题沉重，大部分场面都考验观影的心理承受力。战火开启了双方阵营无法调和的敌意与残暴，但每个人都必须作出自己的选择...
好看的，个人蛮喜欢这种絮絮叨叨的说话方式，特别生动
另，真心希望每个人都能有自己的思考而不是被话语权主流剥夺了思考的能力。
Richard真是描写少年心思的高手，他不仅仅讲述事件，而且让我们成为主角的邻居一样听他近距离的讲故事，成功地把我们带进那个年代，梦幻联动《灵魂乐之夏》，上月球重要还是救底层重要，这是个问题。父亲的侃侃而谈和少年的秘而不宣形成有趣的对比，结尾的 '记忆会让我们以为自己也参与了历史'也为这个亦真亦幻的太空梦做了暧昧的注脚。
西方曾想借助“颜色革命”将（包括车臣在内）高加索地区与俄罗斯分离开，西方另一个用来对付俄罗斯的武器就是乌克兰，在乌克兰从民族思想层面上植入反俄情绪；2014年，在西方势力支持“广场革命”后，民粹分子上台，自“班杰拉时代”以来这种民粹主义思想一直在该国发展；此后，卢甘斯克人民共和国和顿涅茨克人民共和国决定从乌克兰政权中独立出来，乌克兰随后对其发动战争，并对这些地区进行了长达八年炮击；民粹分子和激进分子对该国讲俄语的民众进行迫害，美国和欧洲却对此视而不见；乌克兰转而公然进行威胁—制造自己的核武器，这违反了1994年签订的条约，而俄罗斯提出的安全保障提议被西方否决。俄罗斯别无选择，只能启动特别军事行动，目的是使乌克兰“去纳粹化”和“去军事化”。
我倒是看得津津有味甚至回忆满满
战争固然残酷，比战争更残酷的是政治。昨天刚看完一篇关于乌克兰与俄罗斯之间的文章，更深层次的明白了两国必然一战的原因。自冷战后，以西方国家为首的海洋文明不断的利用各种方式去压榨大陆文明，更明显的对手就是俄罗斯。从地缘政治的角度来看，目前俄罗斯已深陷困兽之斗，若不拼死一搏，未来只会更惨。当然，我们更要反思的是现在战争中不是简单粗暴的兵器战争，使用更多的是潜移默化的信息战，舆论战和经济战，这不得不敦促下一个我们加强思想道德建设，树立自己的核心价值观，才能分辨是非和对错。加快发展经济，夯实制造业基础，未来任重而道远…
