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!。张晓（刘诗诗饰）终日痴迷于古装电视剧，而一场突发的车祸则让她与剧中“四爷”极为相像的震天集团总裁康震天（刘松仁饰）的继子殷正（吴奇隆饰）相遇。为了和梦中的“四爷”相守，她应聘平面设计师到震天旗下工作。这时神秘女子蓝兰（刘诗诗饰）也出现在殷正身边，她竟与张晓长得一模一样。蓝兰与殷正越走越近，让张晓备受煎熬，不料此时意外发生，张晓失去了记忆，与殷正成了陌路。失去记忆的张晓没有了往日心结的羁绊，一心扑在了工作上，就在这时，对手公司的康司瀚（孙艺洲饰）悄然闯进张晓的生活。就在张晓对康萌发爱意时，康的女友孟心怡（叶青饰）从国外回来，她发现了男友的背叛，导致在一次意外中身亡，这让康司瀚和张晓良心上受到重创，俩人发誓永不来往。这时，殷正及时出现在张晓身边，帮她度过了一段最低迷的时光，而偶然恢复记忆的张晓方知殷正才是她梦中的那个他......。尼基和杰森一心求子，可惜未能如愿，最后决定领养。不过，两人的生活乱糟糟，再遇上非一般搞怪亲友，究竟他们能否顺利建立理想中的幸福家庭？。
