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!。在柏林冬天一个寒冷的晚上，城市的灯突然开始闪烁。电力系统操作指导部工程师安雅•拉德克在报告中提出警告：电力网的电压正在骤降，即便她的同事毕茨并没有在先前的检查中提到过有任何问题，安雅还是派出了一只包括沃兰斯科和非贝克的小组去检查U2变压器站。与此同时，电力网在柏林的一些街区已经崩溃。在U2变压器站，沃兰斯科和非贝克惊讶地发现，性能控制台已经不起作用，但是他们还没来得及上报，其中的一个变压器爆炸了，接踵而来的大火，将非贝克烧死，并且引发了大规模的停电。 当安雅听到这个悲惨的消息的同时，也被其同事告知，变压器站的技术缺陷一定是这个实践的导火索，她想从沃兰斯科那里得到更多的消息，但是沃兰斯科失踪了。安雅将整件事情报告给了电力站的管理者瑞德博士：她相信是电缆故障引发了整个事件。如果安雅是对的，提高电网动力将导致完全的动力断供。不久之后，沃兰斯科秘密地告诉...。
