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!
隐喻的建构还是挺耐人寻味的
没几十年脑血栓都想不出这剧情走向，我真是有点那个大病。一群无脑白人/舔白人就愣是强行说五遍，要怎么样脑瘫才真的说满五遍然后尖叫着被杀死；一到剧情推进不下去就开始编故事，还是真·在电影里讲故事，还剪纸人，服；最后就圆珠笔反杀幕后大主使？当然也有可能美工刀，不过我想知道是什么样的傻叉能让美工刀愣是划几十下不还手的，但凡没个大病都老拳手了。真就瞎拍也好意思当电影呗，中间还搞成了滑稽喜剧，真有你的
竟然是部恐怖片，很遗憾美式恐怖没怎么看懂！种族主义问题比较严重！导演太显摆，镜子正反摄影不错！
存在这么一系列明显的“社科电影”，它们在影片中大声朗读出议题，并标记了一整套符号体系以凸显其主张——但它们偏偏是叙事性的；于是，故事成为元素，能量在积聚前就被指向，议题在丰富前就已固定，观众并不感受、并不观看，而仅是阅读。本片对中产社区生活的精致指向如同其所批判的内容一样虚伪：这只不过是另一立场的宣言，以及名为痛苦的痛苦
没看懂
4:这个电影很明显的反应了种族歧视问题（当然，老版本也一样）。
6.3 非常“聪明”略去了亚洲人和黑人念出最后一次名字，且略去了社区的概念，蜂巢幽灵也只是直观的蜂群而已，并没有将社区楼房的居民视为蜂，在这一点逊色于《廉价住房》，对于结局，导演该去看《趣味游戏》
整体是原作的故事续集，却丝毫没有延续到任何原作的精神价值，虽然想继承同样的“痛苦美学”，探讨其中的社会结构和黑人的处境，但故事流水线，情感迸发太突兀，什么东西都似乎是口头上的言说，男主并没有放在一个特殊的位置，相较于原版精彩的故事框架和女主难言至深的处境，这里实在显得太单薄了，恐怖程度也很弱，即使前有珠玉，也是后呈匮乏，实属遗憾
没太处理好尺度，虽然看起来糖果人这个意象的背景在这部片子里被扩充和具象化了（92版是一个case，这版是诸多case的受害人集合体），但是实际意义和功能却被窄化了和偏移了。而且，要么就隐晦巧妙，要么就赤裸直白，这样子恨不得把寓意怼到脸前但是又死活不点名不说破的操作反而有些莫名地凹姿态。夸一夸好的地方，运镜极好，剪纸和镜子的使用非常精妙，片尾交代真实历史案件的设计神来之笔。
把“糖果人”这个经典恶灵IP设定成了黑人的“美国队长”，煞费苦心洗的真白，这是高端黑么？黑人参加高考能加分不？“蜂巢”既是独立的亦是排他的。
这也太强了，集体潜意识造就的糖果人可还行，电影的表现力很出色，糖果人的概念和起源非常吸引人，政治隐喻什么的我根本不关心。克里夫巴克的作品，能够把恐怖的概念提升到新高度，与血肉的融合也是新高度，作为脑残粉，我必须无脑支持
看得云里雾里，政治议题和整个故事并没有形成很好的结合，就感觉导演很想煮一锅香喷喷的饭，但是一个半小时后打开一看发现水还是水，米还是米。
看之前先看了老版的介绍。值得一提的，是这一版可以当作老版的延续，镜头构图有刻意工整的压迫感。镜像应用非常切合故事内涵，但除了视觉和恐怖设计，文本也从来没有融在其中。种族议题果然敏感，但凡处碰的电影，味道从不会照顾双方，这一部将糖果人变成杀害白色人种的工具象征，观者的感受真是受尽压迫啊。
很喜欢结局 糖果人绕车的那段自述，车上的倒影配合台词，很好👌🏻
硬是要升华一下，一直在等reflection怎么用出花但是木有；感觉拍的还行但故事不完整也很无聊

Like I expected, WOKE of the year. Man's blue Jesus from Wokeman. Woman's
影片的视觉风格基本延续了乔丹·皮尔现代恐怖片的表现形式，虽然拒心理恐惧的呈现差口气，但整体仍然是新鲜刺激的，不过这结局有点让人齿寒，继续讲述以暴制暴显得粗暴又无奈。
和Black audience一起看Candyman互动性好强啊！建议续集请女性、亚裔和棕色人种组个糖果人宇宙
倒错的设计真棒，引出一段暗黑往事，蜂鸣不止，怨念不散
