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!。清朝末年，大清国库官银被盗，工部督办官邱福顺被慈禧点名侦查此案，正直清廉的邱富顺偶然间发觉了大内银库盗银的秘密，正准备拟奏章上奏朝廷。但邱大人的这动静惊着了朝廷高官的支支脉脉，庞总管联合桂大人派孙七去刺杀邱富顺，为求一个活口也不留。那天正是邱富顺幼子虎子刚满白日大摆筵席，横遭刺杀，且家被纵火，除了虎子得仁医齐达仁出手相救，从此遁入深山，默默栽培虎子，以医术以武功。 20年后，虎子长大成人，化名仇隐，以年轻郎中之姿出现在荣府前，20年人事变幻，大内银库的总管变成了荣大人，然而这荣大人患有顽疾，众医师皆束手无策，仇隐却能让荣大人暂获舒缓，于是仇隐在荣府住了下来。当年杀他父亲的仇人孙七被踹中要害，从此不能生育，仇隐首先要寻找的人就是孙七。荣大人有两个不肖子，新近还娶了一个新疆女孩，仇隐与她陷入爱恋，发现她也进入荣府也是为了报仇。仇隐不仅要报仇，还要查出大内银库多年的秘密，然而当年的很多线索都断了，他能顺藤摸瓜最终发现真相吗？。
