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!。北京出租官方网站： 《北京出租车》是导演王淼的第一部长片纪录电影。王淼毕业于美国芝加哥大学本科经济学位，后定居纽约，曾从事摄影、设计等工作，出于对电影的热爱，她考取了美国Parsons艺术学院电影及设计研究生学位，2007年，拍摄了自己的第一部纪录短片《Yellow Ox Mountain》，这部纪录片在全世界20多个电影节上播放过，并曾在Dallas的亚洲电影节上获得了最佳短篇纪录片奖。王淼还曾为《国家地理杂志》频道剪辑节目，为建筑设计师Steven Holl做过两个纪录片。她还在Maysles中当助手。（MAYSLES因为聚集了大批的有名纪录片导演而出名，被称为“纪录片导演的传奇殿堂”） 影片讲述三个出租车司机在奥运会前的北京两年间的点滴生活片段，以他们的视角去反映出北京为了举办奥...。
