花木兰历史上真实存在吗

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!。洪一是黑帮老大，对儿子Georgie（吴彦祖 饰）又爱又恨——因为他的身上有一个不能告人的秘密，这个秘密将严重影响到自己的江湖地位。无奈下洪一让Georgie离港生活。 直到洪一过世，Georgie终于得以回港。他的室友Sam（陈奕迅 饰）对Georgie非常佩服，因为Georgie追女仔屡试不爽，人又风度翩翩，Sam立志要成为有出息之人。终于机会来到了。 洪一亲信把Sam误当Georgie拉回香港，百般保护这个“继承人”。Sam玩世不恭的态度令他们非常苦恼，而Georgie也乐得清静，不去揭穿这个秘密。Sam傻人有傻福，屡次打破对头的奸计，还恋上了对头的女儿Julie（莫文蔚 饰）。然而事情真的有那么平静顺利吗？。老友重逢本该愉快又温馨，可是对于文斯（伊桑·霍克 Ethan Hawke 饰），约翰（罗伯特·肖恩·莱纳德 Robert Sean Leonard 饰）和艾米（乌玛·瑟曼 Uma Thurman 饰）来说，事情则完全相反了。原来，在文斯的心里，一直有个结无法解开，约翰抢走了曾是自己女友的艾米，即使多年过去，只要一想到这件事情，文斯心中的怒火就会重新燃起。 在交谈和寒暄之中，气氛渐渐变得紧张起来，看来，对于不堪回首的陈年往事，放不下的不仅仅只有文斯一人。在文斯激烈的质问之下，约翰终于承认，当年是自己强暴了艾米，才将艾米从文斯身边夺走的。如今真相已经大白，文斯心中的创痛能够被就此治愈吗？。
