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!。一次偶然中，患有先天性心脏病的男孩亚当（克里斯汀·史莱特 Christian Slater 饰）遇见了名叫卡罗琳（玛丽莎·托梅 Marisa Tomei 饰）的美丽女孩，后者的开朗和善良渐渐吸引了一直生活在疾病阴影里的亚当，两人之间产生了真挚又美好的感情。 曾有人告诉过亚当，在他的胸膛里，装着的是一颗狒狒之王的心脏，对于这一说辞，亚当深信不疑，他甚至不愿意接受能够挽救他生命的心脏手术，因为他想要留住那颗对卡洛里充满了爱意的狒狒王之心。在亚当生日那天，他和卡罗琳前往体育场观看冰球比赛，当卡罗琳沉浸在亚当无微不至的关怀和疼爱的同时，亚当的生命也逐渐接近了终点。。
