视频简介

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!。虽已身价千万，功成名就，但是大老板王浩潮身心始终得不到放松。在外有征地事宜搅扰不堪，内有女儿黛丝（文咏姗 饰）青春叛逆，沉湎毒品无法自拔。在一次父女争吵过后，黛丝神秘失踪，不久一段绑架录像便送到王的手中。起初以为是女儿布下的骗局，王只得被迫就范。谁知五千万赎金奉出，女儿仍不见下落。万般无奈，他委托忠心耿耿的保镖——曾经混过江湖的阿初（任贤齐 饰）调查女儿行踪，最终见到的却是黛丝冰冷的尸体。 王悲痛欲绝，发誓要让绑匪付出代价。他向所有人隐瞒黛丝已死的事实，单单倚重阿初与其一起踏上复仇的征途。因果报应，丝毫不爽……。女记者受托进入香港近期兴起的一个神秘协会“怪谈协会”采访，正逢协会选举新会长，所有会员一边吃起了美味的“羊肉”，一边开始听竞选会员们讲自己的参赛故事。第一个故事：小职员（张达明 饰）一直受上司欺压，内心压抑。一日终于忍不住，遂拿刀要挟上司。二人在追逐途中上司不幸心脏病爆发而亡。小职员虽无罪，内心却耿耿于怀。新上司（黎姿 饰）不久到来，是一位美丽却有双重人格的怪人。她时而挑逗骚扰小职员，时而又恢复一本正经。然而可怕的是，小职员开始发现女上司的种种行为和死去的上司一模一样…… 第二个故事：大学校园医学系的新生阿良与阿辉一进校就被学长们欺负，内心愤愤不平。恰逢校园内有一尊传说很邪的雕像“四不像”，谁摸了之后就会有灭顶之灾，二人赌气与学长们打赌，摸了“四不像”。之后生活看似风平浪静，阿辉不断倒霉，而阿良却安然无恙。一日夜间，阿良一人在寝室读书，却有一神秘的美丽女子来借洗头液。阿良被其吸引，却不知危险已步步逼近……第三个故事：模特阿美（袁咏仪 饰）与丈夫过着幸福的生活，但丈夫一直出差，阿美一人在家害怕，遂张贴了招租的广告。众多申请者其皆不满意，唯一日有一神秘女子（舒淇 饰）前来招租，阿美遂将她留下。不料神秘女子有种奇怪的同化力，阿美开始渐渐抵抗不住……故事会结束后，女记者前去厨房采访，终于发现了惊人的秘密！。
