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!
想不到不打五星的理由，觀影過程無比輕松愉快，夢工廠真有你的！
真的比《疯狂动物城》好看！！每个角色都好可爱，果然救猫咪百试不爽，每个点都有用处都有交代💖👻
~再那啥的人也需要认同啊，就当逗乐片一看还是可以的。。。
依旧是甄子丹式的疯、狠、猛，以前看这种纯港式的片子真的很腻，现在真的是看一部少一步了。反派塑造的够狠，杀人不手软。就是剧情少了些张力。
将一个简单的道德寓言和近年来已经量产到不再新鲜的劫盗电影（以及宣传期又双叒叕 Billie Eilish同名曲滥用...）装点成了足够有趣的故事和还算吸引人的“叙事宇宙”，虽然算不得大的突破，还有几分有些超过的喧闹，但足够呈上最放松和直观的笑果——轻隔离快一个月后，选择用这部电影重返院线的观影环境也算足够。影片的九成贡献都要算给配音团们，无论是以Sam Rockwell为首的五人团，还是Marmalade教授背后的Richard Ayoade，大家真的做到了很多。
影片讲述以偷盗、抢劫为生的犯罪团伙故事，大灰狼先生是团队领袖、成员还有毒蛇、食人鱼、毒蜘蛛、大白鲨，它们原本是自然界中险恶无比的猎食者，生来就被当成坏人，没人帮他们当好人看，他们只能通过不停的犯罪来实现自我价值，偶然的机会他们发现原来当好人可以让自己更快乐，于是开始了冒险故事。影片表达的核心是不要以貌取人，没人生来就是坏人，相反那些所谓的“好人”未必真的是好人。
特地买了张imax至少能值回票价了，多少能看到《突袭》《导火线》《22英里》之类电影的外壳，剧情不如《拆弹专家2》有阿敖用后即弃弓藏狗烹在前张崇邦也没有接受教育和反省继续在技术官僚的一条道上跑到黑，任达华已经老成单田芳了，甄子丹毕竟上年纪脸那么臃肿从春晚和吴京过完招下来功夫明显退步，谢霆锋这两年可以啊虽然看起来脸也有点pang，但是双手蝴蝶刀是很难练的，工地健身那段给我看乐了。
经历过《疯狂动物城》会觉得剧情有点套路，譬如看似人畜无害的草食动物/啮齿类总是最终Boss之类的，打破固定印象的角色自我斗争等，有一些老生常谈（绯红爪是小狐狸打一开始就猜到，没啥惊喜感）。不过画风新颖、由音乐和跃动视觉表达的节奏格外紧凑，间谍动作元素夸张劲爽，基本不给人喘息的间隙，因此观影过程很欢快。P.S. 鲨鲨的变装等Gap笑点很棒，大灰狼简直是山姆洛克威尔本尊吧~
剧本规规整整，好人难做，善与恶转换。全片几次反转，基于都在预料之中，包括影片当中涉及的议题，也有些太过常见。比如，以貌取人不可取，刻板印象固化，惯性思维的误区与成见顺拐等。价值观层面，影片做了明显取舍与引导，善与恶区分要透过表象看本质。在更广泛意义上，本片延伸出社会对刻板化脸谱，要给予包容式救助，去除已有固定思维模式。人物塑造上，除了童话角色“脸谱化”呈现——童话里“恶”的视觉表征指代，在角色组合关系上，也略显平庸：坏家伙们被聚集，结尾由恶转向善的蜕变与成长。或许，以儿童视角来说，本片教育意味十足，但对于成人观众来说，套路满满，且说教味儿过重。不过，女市长/狐狸的伪装，最终没有戳破，倒蛮有意思，两面性人设丰富人物，亦内涵当今政坛怪象，当下政治的虚伪极其复杂性。对比《疯狂动物城》，本片略显低幼
套路很深，很多盗片的影子，看上去法国导演彼埃尔·佩里菲尔和华裔石之予都更偏爱更利于表演的三渲二表情，很难不去关注他们的瞪眼和龇牙，就 ... 非常鸟山明，想及菲利普·拉肖2018年漫改《城市猎人》，你懂我要说什么
本片与疯狂动物城的差距，也就是梦工厂与迪士尼的差距。故事相对中规中矩，角色设计稍微低幼了点，缺乏特色。
演员谢霆锋挺适合这类角色，线人、男儿本色，都打得拳到肉演得有锋味。
还不如让五人组一恶到底，在恶人和善人之间反复横跳总感觉不太好，然而故事总体也比较套路了
PS：蜘蛛一发声就知道到林家珍，声音太有辨识度了。
剧情还是有些老套，中途就猜到坏蛋们要做好事以及那只花栗鼠会是最终boss，有意思的是电影试图破除刻板印象，但事实是痞子样的狼已经成为荧幕里的一种刻板印象了！
狼X狐狸的组合也是我的心头好。
就挺童话的一个故事，但3D人物2D漫画背景的画风还蛮让人有新鲜感的。
不由得就是会想起《疯狂动物城》，但也绝对算得上别出心裁。影片的节奏感很强，剧情跌宕起伏，动物形象丰富又生动。一群恶名昭彰的盗贼能否从良是剧情发展的内核，随之而来的偷盗手法、动作戏份、动画风格都是加分项！
甄子丹不放弃自己的拳脚就只能是一个动作明星，还不是第一流的动作明星，问题是这个时代还有动作电影的生存空间吗
剧情方面还可以，算得上是全员恶人，几次反转真的挺没想到，而且配音很加分。
