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!

《米兰奥迪亚：警察不准放手》（Milano Odia: la polizia non può sparare），又名《机器之心》（Almost Human），1973年上映，是一部残酷而精彩的警察题材影片，堪称同类影片中最不妥协的一部，其配乐由埃尼奥·莫里康内创作，别具匠心。除了精彩的配乐、残酷而毫不妥协的暴力场面、原始的氛围和扣人心弦的故事情节之外，70年代意大利电影界最伟大的两位巨星的加盟，也使《米兰奥迪亚》成为邪典电影爱好者的必看之作。

《紧急行动队/飞行小队》（Squadra Volante，后者实际翻译为“飞行小队”）是一部还算不错的低成本警匪片，完全没有看下去的理由，但如果你看了，它的观影体验会比预期更好一些。影片中，一个老套的逃兵为了追查妻子的凶手而逃避现实，却因为主角几乎缺席而显得有些尴尬（通常可靠的托马斯·米利安却出人意料地沉闷地演绎了一个几乎不存在的角色）。不过，影片中也有一些小亮点（比如米利安想象着罪犯站在手枪射击场的靶子前），而且它满足了所有剥削电影的拍摄要求：在预告片中总是会出现爆炸场面，并预订一架直升机进行一天的拍摄。最精彩的片段并非影片本身，而是DVD花絮中对即将离世的导演斯泰尔维奥·马西的简短而漫无目的的采访。采访中，马西努力回想某位给他写过粉丝信的美国导演的名字，直到他的妻子突然想起：“塔伦蒂诺？” “是的，我想就是这样。”
