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!
三星半，节奏不错，尺度也可，最后反过来恶魔给神父“驱神”蛮新鲜。
分分钟感觉有第二部 恶魔王子巴尔班的复仇之类的 有王子这个头衔 我就感觉他是正义方怎么办
...
很多jump scare，无语，不过设定很有意思，感觉续集好好拍下正邪对战会很有意思，没想到最后居然是邪恶胜利了。
影评～世间安得双全法，不负如来不负卿：
这个脑洞可以，神父恶魔对着施法。比哈利波特的魔法厉害👍
对于没有基督教信仰的我来说就单纯的看个热闹，对此类恐怖片已经完全无感，就是为了恐怖而营造恐怖。最后上帝还被路西法驱逐了，恶魔主宰人间，还真是蛮讽刺的。两星半。
扯犊子，这么一个被上帝附身的牧师，连续嘴炮battle都没输，魔鬼一谈条件就同意了。。。我来教教这个牧师，成年人是不做选择的，都要好吗？
很离谱的展开。有一些好笑的逻辑。但是不吓人。
相较于原著，电影还是改动了不少东西，不过整体高于我预期，男主真帅啊。
这个叙事节奏太灾难了，剪辑本来就稀碎还要广泛使用插叙，导致紧张悬疑的气氛都没营造到位就迫不及待地切换场景，仿佛导演背后有个巴班在用鞭子抽他屁股一样。此外全片恐怖要素的使用非但没有渲染出惊悚氛围，反而完美诠释了什么叫做装疯卖傻故弄玄虚，让人看得内心毫无波动甚至只想偷笑。
驱魔片拍出了丧尸片的感觉，最后的反向驱魔挺有意思，整体比较无聊。
两个牧师都有秘密
那女的不是没死吗？为啥说她好像死了
耶稣和玛利亚被附身是有新意的
从恐怖片的角度看，有几处的惊吓程度算是及格的﹉
故事创意不错，有新意。驱魔仪式有点俗套，少许剧情bug。值得一看。

硬是把驱魔片拍成了丧尸片。全片最精彩的地方就在于最后的驱魔part，居然是魔鬼驱上帝。
还有，我主是全知全能的，魔鬼通通退却！
