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!。How did Orhan, a down-to-earth family man, turn into the killer of his coma-stricken mother?。昭和四十六年，从女婿医院病愈归来的佐仓一诚（佐分利信饰）受到组内热烈欢迎。此时中岛组拥有团体400多个、成员一万多人，号称日本第一黑帮。佐仓之女婿一宫恭夫（高桥悦史饰）和少壮派代表松枝四郎（松方弘树饰）更成为其得力干将。 为进军关东，中岛组成立“樱花商事”以取得“日本船运”的控股权。东京的黑社会组织松风会与关东同盟联合对抗中岛组的入侵。关东同盟会长大山规久夫（内山朝雄饰）与后藤通产大臣（滨田寅彦饰）勾结，将中岛组认购的股票强行赎回，此举引发两派大规模抗争。 另一方面，松枝替代辰巳成为中岛组新任年轻领导人，他与助手天坊信助（菅原文太饰）合作围猎关东同盟•真光会会长大石刚介（三船敏郎饰），但却引发中岛组新一轮的震荡……。
