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!。《越策越开心》是湖南经视一档时下最具人气的的娱乐脱口秀节目,由汪涵、马可担纲主持;整个节目分为前戏、歌舞秀、越播越开心以及嘉宾选取流行元素坊间话题邀请知名艺人特殊身份的行业人士、以及一些普通老百姓参与节目,以各种形式组合笑料频出的场景,将快乐和轻松传达给观众。。《不死法医》第一季精彩看点:

《不死法医》第一季剧情梗概:
故事描述纽约城最优秀的法医、病理学专家Henry Morgan(Ioan Gruffudd)的传奇经历——人们都称赞他是个了不起的人才,但是没有人知道他的身世秘密。他经历过世间的一切——战争、爱情,甚至天花和疟疾——但惟独没有经历过真正的死亡。已经活了200岁的他在公立太平间工作,试图通过研究死人来找出自己永生的秘密。务实而顽强的纽约警署女侦探Jo Martinez(Alana de la Garza)既是他的工作搭档,又是唯一能给他的生活带来一抹亮色的人。在Jo的帮助下,观众将通过一个个案件了解Henry漫长的、充满传奇色彩的人生故事。
来见见Henry Morgan医生(Ioan Gruffudd)——他是纽约市最有名的法医,他风流倜傥,人见人爱,但他有一个秘密……他已经活了200岁。在35岁那年,Henry第一次死去,然后又活了。不管他死了多少次,他总是在35岁这年重生,音容笑貌一点都未曾改变。为了查清这种无法解释的永生之谜,他做了大量的病理学实验。但是没等他弄明白,他又重生了……他还是以前那个Henry,永远都是。
永生有不少好处——Henry去过这世界上的每一个角落,学会了许多语言,攀爬过珠穆朗玛峰,还爱过无数女人。永生当然也有坏处……例如,他只能眼睁睁看着一生挚爱Abigail逐渐变老、死去。对Henry来说,永生并非祝福,而是一种诅咒。
Henry过去几十年一直和Abe(Judd Hirsch)是朋友,当年和他一样年纪的帅小伙如今已是76岁高龄的老人。他或许是这世上唯一知道Henry秘密的人,甚至可能是Henry在这世上唯一的真朋友。他一直鼓励他走出太平间多和「现代社会」进行接触。Abe开了一家古董店,Henry研究永生秘密的实验室就隐藏在他的古董店内。
Henry对于死亡的丰富经验帮助他成为纽约市的法医明星,而且他拥有非凡的观察力——他能十分精确地「读懂」一个人……无论其是死是活。他最近遇到了正在调查一起严重的地铁撞车事故的女侦探Jo Martinez,不用她自己开口,他就已经看出这位32岁的女侦探最近刚刚丧偶,正在用酒精来掩盖自己内心的痛苦。每当Henry和Jo在一起查清一起案件,他们的友谊就增进一分,而Henry漫长的、多彩的人生也因此逐渐呈现在观众眼前。
