菩萨崖是河北某地革命根据地的一个村子，现在这里成立了高级社，社里的老饲养员田老耕，要去北京探望离别了十向年的儿子——三儿。三儿在北京当了副局长，并改名为田刚。乡亲们都赶来送行，田老耕在众人千嘱万嘱的欢笑声中，踏上了探亲之路。老耕到北京后，很不巧，儿子出差去了，两三天赶不回来。他只好先见了儿媳赵玉书，儿媳看起来很贤慧，但对待老耕总是有些若即若离，好像有什么说不出来的苦衷似的。当田刚从工地上赶回来时，谁想没想到，田刚并不是三儿，却是个陌生人。老耕责备自己找错了，可这并没有错。原来田刚和三儿很早就在一个连队里，两个人是亲密的战友。土改时期，土匪袭击他们驻扎的乡村，三儿为了解救老百姓光荣地牺牲了。田刚忠实地按照三儿的嘱托，通过组织上的允许，一直奉养着田老耕。。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!。故事发生在二十世纪初期的荷兰鹿特丹，德高望重的德莱文哈文（简·德克莱尔 Jan Decleir 饰）死于非命，一位名叫雅各布（费德贾·范·胡艾特 Fedja van Huêt 饰）的年轻律师遭到了逮捕，尽管证据确凿，但雅各布依然坚称自己的清白无辜，让大家感到惊讶的是，经过调查，德莱文哈文和雅各布看似毫无瓜葛，但却是血脉相连的父子。 原来，雅各布是德莱文哈文的私生子，当年，冷酷无情的德莱文哈文抛弃了身怀六甲的约芭（Betty Schuurman 饰），后者正是雅各布的生母。长大后的雅各布诸事不顺，面临着破产的命运，之后，雅各布立志成为一名律师，但却处处受阻，而这一切的始作俑者不是别人，正是他的亲生父亲。。
