Blumhouse制片公司过去宣布把电影《人类清除计划 The Purge》开发成一部电视剧集,《人类清除计划》电影系列首部作在2013年上映,后来出了兩部票房十分成功的续集(第四集《人类清除计划4 The First Purge》已定于本年上映),而剧集版由Blumh ouse电视部门拍摄,定于美国时间9月4日在USA及Syfy同时播出(两台皆在NBC旗下)。 《人类清除计划》剧集版会描述美国那无政府12小时清洗日的新篇章。在电影中,人类清除计划是一年一度的无政府节日,在晚上7点到第二天7点期间批准进行犯罪活动(杀人抢劫等),而且医院、警察﹑消防服务皆会停止,在这12小时内所有人(除了部份重要人物仍受保护)得靠自己来活下去……或者选择大开杀戒。。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!。故事发生在核子大战十七年后,仅剩不多的人类被电脑系统严密监管,机器人就像狱卒一般囚禁着他们。彼时,人类已经失去了生育能力,他们只能等待死亡的降临。为了创造新的人类种群,秘密实验室培育出了人类胎儿,他们成为了人类不至于灭绝的唯一希望。 然而,令大家感到意外的是,这个消息不知道被谁泄露出去了,监控电脑派出机器杀手来追杀那些已经怀孕的母亲,玛丽(妮可·汉森 Nicole Hansen 饰)就是其中的一员。在机器杀手的狂轰滥炸之下,实验室被毁,幸运的是,玛莉死里逃生,并在末日勇士奥斯汀(约瑟夫·希洛赫 Joseph Shiloach 饰)的保护下躲避着疯狂的追捕。在这个残酷的世界中,人类的希望是否会被彻底摧毁?。
