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!
正好和《燃烧》对比，属于导演功力没那么深厚，无法把情绪控制在自己想要的范围内的电影。第一个镜头完全没有表现出来轻松快乐的生活VS暴力冲突之间的强烈对比。导演用了很多很多手法，就好像是初出茅庐的新手导演想把所有技术都用一遍，然而却对情绪表述上毫无意义，音乐也配的奇奇怪怪。不过拍出了那种疏离感，确实不是景深的原因，很多近景甚至特写都可以，还是没有找出其中原因，可能和环境音有关？不行不行真的不行，玩花活可能真的是靠天赋，通过一些孩子讲一些犀利的故事和历史事件，可能老老实实拍，效果会更好很多，现在情绪被极大削弱了，可惜！！要是10分制就好了，都打了三星，不代表在我心中此片和《燃烧》分数一样。PS:爱尔兰口音太土了，好可怕，哈哈～
看过风吹麦浪，对北爱尔兰那段历史还蛮感兴趣的，片子黑白质感不错，但是有点做作，也不喜欢时不时来段歌曲。
你如果身在影片里的爱尔兰人险些就选择移民来了的城市看它，感觉更立体。
#TIFF 2021#每个人心里都有一座叫故乡的城，对阿方索·卡隆来说是罗马，对肯尼思·布拉纳来说就是贝尔法斯特。那些离开的游子，那些留下的故人，在时代的洪流里显得那么微不足道，但总有人写点什么拍点什么，当打开历史的小盒子，里面满是珍藏的私人回忆。朱迪·丹奇得奖时刻再现。
8.3/10 一支慢悠悠的制作精良的爱尔兰小诗。我喜欢历史的厚重感，它让我的心被填补。本片不是纪录片，而是一首诗。
candy妹妹人生第一次进电影院，我自己全篇陪着，看不太懂动画片，但里面有句台词，大意是：英雄也会害怕，但是英雄还是会勇往直前。这大抵就是生活吧。
音乐很不错，剧情是成长向的，没有特别低幼。一堆装备出动的时候居然还挺燃的😂
画面、剧情和音乐三足鼎立的经典案例，三者谁也不服谁，各玩各的。画面借鉴《罗马》，用黑白影像展露自传体故事，抛弃色彩强调光影。而剧情却是十足的现代人喜闻乐见的现代故事，在剧情方面没有任何升华点，全程都在营造幽默感，用尽全力铺垫的忧伤和悲痛终于在戏谑与欢快的配乐中化为泡影。音乐总是如歌剧中那么一鸣惊人，但是电影中显得那么喧宾夺主，每每想要引导观众情绪，却搞的要把好不容易产生情感的观众通通拉出戏。肯尼思布拉纳在导演这方面就像个孩子，想要凭着孩童的天真与单纯博取观众的好感。
看小盆友的反应，应该是很满意…完整的一次看完，没有被吓着要走
7.5。导演肯尼思·布拉纳的童年故事。北爱尔兰版的《罗马》，甚至连画面都一样是黑白的。虽然时代背景是不安定的，但故事并不是讲的大环境对自己童年的影响，而是讲的家庭和乡愁。现在的我对九岁时的记忆十分单薄，基本记不得那一年发生了什么。导演如此清晰地记得五十年前发生的事情，说明那一年对他意义重大。那一年是爷爷离开他们，也是他们一家离开贝尔法斯特的日子。离开熟悉的街道和朋友，可能也是离开童年。无论如何忧伤，导演记忆里的电影和戏剧仍然是彩色的，这么多年过去了，电影和戏剧带给他的愉悦仍然感染着他。
大社会历史背景下的小童家庭生活流。前方的fork不可避免，向左还是右，已经忘了哪个good 哪个bad ，留下的和迁徙的，都有值得纪念的人生。。小男孩演的好！。。BGM用的有点过多，总是把情绪荡上去，没有安静的力量。老电影穿插也不少，可能导演也是迷影怀旧的。局部影像构图挺好，黑白片必须找点优势。。。就，不知为啥大家把这部跟《罗马》对比，难道黑白的形式，历史社会题材就一定要比比？评:3.7星
go now
"GO!! Take what u need!!" "Washing powder!!!"
黑白色调很刻意，音乐穿插很生硬，被打上了太多时代的复古滤镜，男孩视角、母亲视角和贝尔法斯特的未来与命运被牵强而分裂地压缩成了在北爱动荡萧条年代出走的家庭故事，小男孩的表演算是唯一的亮点。
要素非常齐全：黑白画面历史印记儿童私人回忆乡愁唱歌跳舞，然而问题在于出自Branagh就感觉非常刻意匠气，诚意不足。
既是导演的童年往事，也是导演的故乡回忆。记忆中的场景每一幕都被精心设计，同时也塞满了真情实感，但片子整体在同类型中还是不算出挑，故事离我们太远，无法共情和信服。好在朱迪丹奇的表演在结尾起了力挽狂澜的作用，让结尾的三句话也格外共情。
Kenneth Branagh非常私人的一个片子，全片黑白，只有在电影院和戏院里才看到了色彩，可见这些对儿时的他有多么深刻的影响。从孩童的视角看待1969年的骚乱，依旧是天真烂漫的。最后Judi Dench看着儿子一家坐在公车上离开的大特写把我催出眼泪来。For those who left, for those who stayed and for all those who lost. 整个片子的组成都是生活中很琐碎的细节，节奏有点太跳跃。
怪我总是不自觉的联想到卡隆的《罗马》，这么一联想就太残酷了，这个导演的水平跟《导演请指教》那帮新导演的水平差不多，一边看装逼的黑白摄影，一边努力的读字幕，这种不懂视听却强装文艺的片子，观感太累了。
带豆姐看的第二部电影，汪汪队粉还是可以看的。狗狗挺可爱的。其他就没有推荐的价值了…
每个导演心中都有一个《罗马》，但肯尼思·布拉纳并不是阿方索·卡隆。
