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!。韦小宝刁钻聪敏，自小随母居扬州妓院，因义气助天地会人打退清兵，被老太监私禁宫中冒充小太监。后与少年皇帝康熙成为莫逆之交，并协助消灭奸臣，成为宫中红人。韦小宝更误打误撞得天地会总舵主暗中收为弟子，要他伺机刺杀康熙，令其左右为难。韦小宝无意间得悉神龙教派人假扮太后潜伏于宫中十多年，企图盗取大清命脉藏宝图，真太后则被囚禁，康熙遂联合韦小宝，几经艰险，救出太后。韦小宝施妙计令康熙父子团聚，又挑拨神龙教人自相残杀，再建一功，衣锦还乡。不久，江山大统，康熙命韦小宝前往消灭天地会，韦小宝这才知道康熙早已洞悉自己的秘密。。
