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!
本片由梅艷芳四五歲上台表演拍到她臨終時的夕陽之歌演唱會，在長達三十多年的跨度，編導努力地重現了梅艷芳許多人生大事（如新秀得獎，拍《胭脂扣》，認識劉培基以及張國榮等），也重現了八十年代的輝煌香港歲月，只是取材繁雜，缺乏焦點。編導似乎不想放過梅艷芳人生任何一個細節，但這種旁枝末节太多，勢必削弱了本片一定的戲劇感染力和節奏感，前半段像流水線，中半段避走海外拍得太兀長，後半段更是像紀錄片多過像電影，草草收場。新人王丹妮詮釋的梅艷芳不功不過，但在捕捉梅艷芳的神韻上有些距離，儘管悟性不錯，但限於劇本問題，無法深入梅艷芳內心世界去探討（只是看到梅艷芳的一生，卻不知道她應該是一個怎麼樣的人）。
我这种对梅艳芳知之甚少的观众，影片的目的达到了。
作为电影来说比较乏善可陈，基本上就是一个加了滤镜版的百度百科的生动版演绎。但的确能够勾起不少我们这一代听港乐长大的人的记忆，对里面的歌手、音乐都耳熟能详，也让人想起初中的那一天从报纸中看到梅姐去世的消息的那个瞬间。让人不出戏主要归功于梅姐的演员选得不错，选角的难度在最开始就知道会有多大，这种表现真是远超预期了，有几个瞬间真的有种灵魂附体的感觉。
好哭的戏 除了女演员有点太年轻演后期梅姐略有不成熟，以及梅姐之所以被称为“姐”的气场不够强 王丹妮太高了吧，其他人和他搭戏应该都挺辛苦 其他部分完成度还算可以 哥哥出殡那场哭得...
虽然是新人，也勉强可接受，但哥哥的选角是什么鬼！🤬
五集导演剪辑版，算是对梅艳芳歌影一生的高度还原，霓虹的色调也符合对上世纪香港的想象。但对于梅艳芳的私人生活，总有遗憾，或者是对影片处理方式的怀疑，情愿多聚焦于她的舞台和电影。另外，王丹妮的演绎有梅艳芳的神韵，锦上添花
梅艳芳——香港之女，然后梅艳芳去世了，哪怕97的第一个镜头是舞照跳，马照跑。
进电影院看《梅艳芳》，就是为了看大银幕上的梅艳芳如站在你面前再次闪耀。
古仔还是古仔，千fa还是千fa，就只有林家栋演成了黎老板。 其余的我注意力全被两姐妹牵手唱歌背景写着那个大大的“囍”吸引了…
妆容造型都很有年代感。人物传记式电影故事线没那么清晰明朗，感情线有点虐。歌曲虽然带着浓浓的时代烙印，但都很好听。respect。
一部消费情怀、通篇流水账的商业片。观看的时候流的眼泪是真的，产生的情感是真的，但是走出影院后越回响越觉得自己的情怀被利用，觉得被喂了屎。张国荣选角失败是一大败笔，不尊重事实强行消费张国荣来塑造梅艳芳的角色更是败笔。梅艳芳的选角已经努力通过妆造等方式和梅姐贴近，但实在是演不出梅姐的气质。传记电影也不是简单堆砌本人片段、复刻演唱会现场等就能拍好的，简单的流水账拍摄方法实在感觉不够用心。可能留下比较多记录和影像的近代人物不是很适合被拍传记电影吧，也可能是制作团队不够用心。
这五颗星是给王丹妮的，有内味～可惜的是后期王丹妮hold不住这个角色，anita的气势无可替代！
不能因为情怀就虚抬评价，也不能因为命题限制和客观时局就哀其不争，两相权衡也不作中间数
导演编剧但凡多看几遍《波西米亚狂想曲》，也不至于拍的这么无趣，仿佛完全不知道观众想看什么。
0分。以一个传记片的角度，是部彻头彻尾的垃圾。梅艳芳是香港之女，剥离掉了香港的时代元素，把她简化成一个底层逆袭励志女星加点虐恋元素，蠢到不行。但就这样都没拍好，梅艳芳一生中最重要的恋人赵文卓何在？日本渣男凭什么在电影里变成了痴心汉？梅艳芳的吸血鬼母亲为何缺席？
看得出很难拍，也看得出编导尽力了。这已不是属于梅姐的时代，甚至不是能够好好讲述她一生风风雨雨的时代。Anyway，最控制不住落泪，还是女人花和夕阳之歌响起的时候……
挺拉的，第一个调调起来就是缅怀态，然而“死者为大”的做戏理念，本身更是对“香港女儿”极不尊重的素材浪费。而梁乐民作为全港最会平衡娱乐性和地缘隐喻的青年创作者，也露出了狡黠的一面，尽可能剥离一切政治联想，能规避规避，能弱化弱化，总之“扁平至上”。尤为体现在对掌掴事件和97节点，用强调个体困境的方式转移逻辑。然而本片还是没能规避一处大雷，即“1:99”演唱会筹备初衷，与目前大陆的防疫管控明显犯冲，往大了说就是东西意识形态的冲撞。居然没几个人拿来带节奏，只能说还是情怀帮了忙，喷子也得卖梅姐个面子。而王丹妮的表演略为扁平化，全程都是老派人民艺术家的矫作姿态，反倒是刘俊谦演出了哥哥的神态与魄力，市场理应更鼓励这种勇于逆风而行的野心演员。
但收获了一场失望中间甚至几度欲离场出于对梅姐的尊重才坚持看完
灯光亮起大家都离场 阿姨来打扫完卫生 只有我和一个大叔 看完了片尾
整个电影看得我真的很不舒服，梅艳芳、张国荣都不是我熟悉的样子，梅艳芳可爱有余，但那种气场、力量和果决是不足的。张国荣就更不用说了，哥哥的风韵是一点没有展现出来的。整个剧情很稀碎，不知道拍摄那些桥段是要表达什么。梅艳芳的挚友们拍出来也让人觉得微妙，非常不舒服。电影不好看，但喜欢梅艳芳。
