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!。碧血黄沙，传奇诞世；烽烟千载，儿女英雄。 《敦煌：生而传奇》作为首部人物纪传体·剧情式传奇纪录片，由冯小刚配音、艾美奖跨国团队精诚制作、中外学者联手解读，以全球视野揭秘不为人知的神秘敦煌。本片讲述从大汉到晚唐众多历史人物的传奇故事，探究敦煌如何从一个偏僻的边陲小镇变成国际商业枢纽、世界上最伟大的艺术和宗教中心之一，并解读它成为当今丝绸之路著名节点、世界文化遗产之地的原因。 本片通过剧情演绎、纪实拍摄、专家访谈等内容，将观众带入传奇往事，走近那些以勇气和远见推动敦煌走向辉煌的人物，重新认识一座屹立于中西交汇处、蕴藏人类文化基因的殿堂。。
