艾拉·韦伯似乎既拥有一切,又一无所有。她在总部位于圣地亚哥的美国连锁餐厅 Bistro Bon Vivant 担任菜谱开发人员,工作不错。然而,他们提供的是“假”法国菜,这违背了她真正喜欢美食的感受。她有一位慈爱的母亲,房地产经纪人劳里·韦伯,她总是试图让她过上稳定的生活,对劳里来说,这意味着艾拉要再次购买公寓,这违背了艾拉的感受。在经历了几次挫折后,艾拉感到心神不宁,她决定立即休假,重新振作起来,这有点让人回想起她22岁时最喜欢的假期记忆:去巴黎吃她最喜欢的奶酪。这次在巴黎,她发现奶酪同样具有变革性,尤其是与餐厅供应的塑料奶酪相比,而不是与脾气暴躁的奶酪贩子相比。但她在克洛蒂尔德·奥伯格尔身上找到了志趣相投的人,克洛蒂尔德从她那里租了一套公寓,供她住两周。克洛蒂尔德说服她,要想找到自我,她应该在巴黎呆三个月。克洛蒂尔德英俊的表弟、餐厅评论家加斯...。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!。
