I couldnt get past the bad acting after the first 2 minutes, the women holds the sniper rifle like a purse and she is so cross eyed u wonder how she even can see the scope, think she should have used sun glasses like the other guy. She was not trained to hold ur use any gun cause it just gets worse, she goes from a 50 cal sniper to a 9 mil handgun and starts killing the same targets, lol ? Cudos to you if you think this has a 5 star rating, guess we are from different planets, but this barely scrapes by with a B-rating

I will admit, this was actually "moderately" entertaining for a cheesy action flick... but straight up 10/10 star?? cough cough... have to be kidding right...

The majority of the acting is just barely passable... Expect heavy use of CGI for muzzle flashes / blood splatter / explosions... Surprisingly, a couple of the fight scenes looked fairly well choreographed...

All in all though, this is like a cheap version of the Expendables or something with even more lunacy filled action scenes...

My suggestion... if you've watched every B-rate 80s and 90s action flicks already... hey, go for it... Just don't set your sights too high... Cause this is pretty bad... ( I'm still giving 4 stars, since I suspect this movie was done on a pretty tight budget... and the CGI was actually not "awful"... )

Previous 10/10 reviews are either a joke or fake. This has to be the worst movie ever created. I don't even think they shot the guns with actual ammunition, the bullet casings ejected out of the guns were done by CG. It also looks like the movie was shot with kit lenses on whatever is the current Canon Rebel on the market with whatever interior lighting that came with the houses they rented for this abomination of a movie.

A lot of 10 stars!?!?!?! What the heck am I missing? Bad acting and lame special effects. One the worse movies I've ever seen.

Couldn't get through first 5 minutes. Bad action, bad acting, bad effects. They were shooting in the opposite direction of people and killing them. No idea why this is getting 10 star ratings.

This movie is awfully acted written and filmed, if you are brain dead you still wont enjoy it!!

Being in some of my favorite 70's & 80's martial arts flicks (Game Of Death, Black Belt Jones, Eye For An Eye) I'm glad to see Mel Novak is still going strong! This movie is a fun action flick.

Perhaps the worst movie I have ever seen. Broken down actors, seriously comic special effects and awful acting.

Not exactly a feel good movie for Saturday afternoon viewing with the family. The movie is one blood soaked episode of revenge killings after another. All the characters in this movie; heroes, villains, and cops alike, are extremely vicious and morally bereft with no redeeming qualities, and seem to be motivated only by greed, revenge, and bloodthirst. The many and long, drawn out action scenes are more brutal than adventurous with extremely graphic displays of beatings and killings. Despite having some decent performances from a fairly good cast, this is not a film for the more erudite. Yet, as a true hypocrite, I watched all ninety minutes of the movie, without the wife and kids of course. A true guilty pleasure!

The acting isn't stellar, the plot has more holes than a golf course, but it's entertaining I was never bored watching it, giving it 1 star is missing the point of what the movie was trying to achieve, giving it 10 stars was over the top as it's a seriously flawed movie.

The action sequences are reminiscent of an episode of "The A Team", just enjoy it's silliness and don't take the movie seriously.

This was absolutely horrible.

Horrible in so many ways.

So why did I give 2 stars?

No, I was not drunk or stoned.

It was so bad, it was so horrible and so out of it in a non-sensible way and it was trying to be a serious movie.

There was no real direction that this was going - because it tried to be too much and ended up being nothing.

When it's that bad - and you realize this, but you still keep watching to see how bad it really gets - then well, you screw around with the rating system - just like the people did who worked on this movie and gave it all 10.

The others gave it 1.

To balance it out, I gave it 2- but in reality, it's worth 1.

Loved this film! Great plot and production value! The entire cast is fantastic, especially Mel Novak and Laurene Landon!

Thankfully this piece of crap was free on Prime. Bad acting, horrible special effects, and back room facelifts. Whoever backed this movie had it shoved in deep.

Didn't make it past the first five minutes. I guess watch if you're into something really awful and want to laugh at something terrible.

If you're looking for a film that provides a penetrating glimpse into the complexities of the human condition, this ain't it. But I guess you figured that out from the poster. For those of you with the basest of instincts and a taste for the low brow, you'll definitely get what you want, and I've based my rating on that criteria. Get a bunch of mean people, arm them to the hilt with machine guns, throw them together like a bunch of pit bulls in a cage, and what do you get? SYNDICATE SMASHER. For you gun porn addicts, this is your Shangri-La. I hope you get your fix. I haven't seen this much blood since I watched the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Notwithstanding, it did have some good actors and some compelling characters, albeit with far-fetched motives. Why would a high ranking police detective conduct an illegal bugging of a criminal suspect? Doesn't that constitute Illegal search and seizure? She also later attempts to shoot her boss. Isn't that attempted murder? The actress who played that part was actually pretty good. I think it was more a lack of research on the part of the writers. Anyways, why am I obsessing over that? This is an action B-movie. Don't take it too seriously. Get some popcorn, kickback, and have fun. For mayhem, brutality, and pure savagery, I give it ten stars.

Great plot, great direction and filmmaking, and always wonderful to see the amazing Laurene Landon on screen!

Syndicate Smasher pits a motley band of military trained killers against, well, every major criminal mafia out there. Disorienting at times since it jumps from a serious crime drama, with a believable cast portraying the criminals, to wild shoot 'em up scenes more appropriate in the action genre. The movie spends a lot of screen time depicting the internal politics of the underworld as the main bad guy, Dippolito, struggles to vie for power against his mob counterparts in the Midwest while trying to maintain order amongst the new ethnic mobs operating in his territory. For those drawn to the action genre, the movie provides more than it's share of gunfights. A huge body count! No holding back on the gore factor. For escapist fun, it delivers.

This movie has one group of guys sought by, as one might say, 'Everyone.' You have to see the movie to see what they are going to do about their dire straights!

Full of action and fire power first time that all goons and Mercenaries fought from each other for the love of the MONEY and I would recommend to my friends

Ten out of ten if you're into guns and in your face ruthless killing. Great ode to those who have served on active duty in a war. Various levels of acting, very diverse cast and screenplay, and egos driven characters galore in this action packed thriller! It'd be great to see the prequel to better understand the backstory that happened in war and it's effect on Milan and his crew.
