Fernando Di Leo's "Milano Calibro 9" is an out-and-out masterpiece of Italian Crime cinema and, in my opinion, one of the most astonishing crime stories ever told. The first film in Di Leo's excellent 'Milieu' trilogy, "Milano Calibro 9" was followed by "La Mala Ordina" (aka. "Manhunt", also 1972) and the brilliant "Il Boss" (1973). The three films are not connected story-wise, but all three are excellent, and highly realistic portrayals of organized crime. As far as I am concerned "Manhunt" is (allthough excellent) slightly inferior to this one and "Il Boss" which both stand out as absolute all-time highlights of crime cinema. "Milano Calibro 9" is the best of them all, a film that is astonishing in all aspects, be it the ingenious plot that, apart from a compelling story and clever twists, includes social criticism, the performances, the gritty atmosphere and suspense or the brilliant score. I can hardly find the right words to express my admiration for this masterpiece which easily ranks among the greatest Gangster flicks ever brought to screen.
Gastone Moschin stars as Ugo Piazza, a tough and elliptical ex-convict who has just been released from prison. Immediately after his release, Ugo is approached by members of the Milan mob lead by the irascible gangster Rocco (Mario Adorf), as they suspect him to be responsible for the disappearance of a large sum of money belonging to their boss, an American (Lionel Stander) who controls the organized crime in Milan...
"Milano Calibro 9" is a film that delivers an astonishingly realistic mood of the underworld like hardly another. The intriguing storyline goes in hand with interesting characters, raw atmosphere, suspense and breathtaking action, social criticism and brutal violence. The film is simply stunning from the beginning to the end, which is even intensified by the brilliant score, a collaboration of the famous composer Luis Enríquez Bacalov and the Italian Progressive Rock band Osanna. Ugo Piazza must be one of the most charismatic gangster characters ever in cinema, and Gastone Moschin was the prefect choice for the role. Moschin delivers a brilliant performance, and the rest of the cast is also great. Mario Adorf is irascible like a rabid dog as the ferocious gangster Rocco, a role that fits him like a glove. The great Lionel Stander fits perfectly in his role of the American Mafia Don.
The two cop characters in the film are played by two of the greatest regulars of Italian genre-cinema, Luigi Pistilli and Frank Wolff (who committed suicide before the film was released). The ravishing Barbara Bouchet is astonishing and incredibly sexy in the role of Ugo Piazza's stripper girlfriend. Bouchet is both a stunning beauty and an excellent actress and this is doubtlessly one of her most memorable roles. This is also a political film and director Di Leo embedded a lot of social criticism about topics like corruption. This film simply has everything one can possibly desire in cinema. Films like "Milano Calibro 9" are the reason why I love cinema. This is an absolute masterpiece in all regards and, without exaggeration, one of the greatest Crime flicks ever made! The ingenious opening scene alone is more memorable than most films get in two hours.
只有很短时间紧张的部分，不太恐怖，小成本，不要求太多了，无聊的时候🥱看过就好了
大家都多少有点子不太正常。
烂得奇奇怪怪的一部片子，至少是给这个疫情时代留下了一些东西。
虽然我知道这电影无脑，但是是怎么凑到 2 小时长度的。
疫情下的疯狂，看被困酒店好吃好喝的演员们如何花式自作，成品的纪录片画上完美句号。
美丽国网大也是这水平嘛～讲诉烂片是怎么拍成的烂片，全方位讽刺，包括自己，也是笑了
题材还算有趣 疫情的原因有很多特殊的情况 但剧本基本上是闹着玩的 没有情节和剧情可言 如果是个八九十分钟的纯喜剧效果应该还会更好一些 不太懂剪辑出接近130分钟的意义在哪里 演员表现已经尽力了 估计片场现找档期有空的全部拉上了贼船
出乎意料的好看！符合当下疫情，带有讽刺的搞笑
有的人在外被禁锢了一个多月，迫切的想回家；
把所有热点元素都集合在一起疯狂吐槽但远没有《别想上看》那么好看 属于就是烂但也让你想看它最后有多烂的那种烂片
看网飞预告就超期待的电影，妈呀，真的是笑屎我了，啊这群人真的太搞了...literally such a pandemic crisis.. 超好看的
我看的这是机器翻译的字幕吧！
故事感很好，但就是俗套，就是没什么喜感→_→
每一部恐怖片都在强化杀人一定要补刀的意识。
那个导演的造型是不是嘲讽《房间》的导演……实际电影很无聊
时间太长了...导致变成了相当割裂的长段子，但多少还是有点乐子。阿帕图女儿直接带资进组可还行。
三星半。角色眾多，似乎電視動畫呈現更合適。動作段落超熱血及激烈，的確是電影級場面。
以后还是要少看这种没什么剧情，两三个人就在两三个场景里的电影儿
成本确实够小，剧情足够紧凑，但也没有什么新意，凑合看吧
220405 【B】顺应当下流行元素延伸而得来的玩梗电影。凌乱如现实且同样被一套框架所控制，完成连贯的接梗和过渡，荒诞不经但绝不是陌生的。
