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.
什么鸡脖玩意，整片都以为卷福和邓斯特肯定有事儿，结果就是个儿子不喜欢酒鬼妈被欺负偷偷杀了牧场大哥的简单破事儿，就这么个烂故事要拍的这么用力吗，卷福有病啊接这么个玩意
你看那座山像什么。看不出来我可不告诉你。看出来了你就是我的人了。缺的表演越认真我越想笑怎么回事，演得分明就是婆媳矛盾。剧情拐点呈现得极晚，如果往更早的时间点挪一挪，也许会更靠近类型片一些（以及更靠远奥斯卡一点）。普莱蒙-邓斯特这对现实夫妻是从冰血暴S2片场直接串过来的吧，签卡司提供打包价。
第一次看每句台词都是废话的电影，乏味到无话可说
要么是小男主的形象不对，要么是小男主的演技不行，总之，我虽然看得懂，但我大为不解，对小男主的角色，从外形到动机，都没法让人信服。
浪费了时间 误以为是好片 硬撑着看完了 片名也莫名其妙 实在欣赏不了
开头和结尾是在点题了，为了母亲的幸福可以做任何事情，让母亲（darling）远离“邪恶”（power of dog）。影片的背景竟然是西部牛仔片，壮丽的风景配合暧昧的同性情愫，让人不禁想到《断臂山》，但是唯美孱弱的少年背后藏着的似乎也是“power of dog”，逆耳的反和弦音乐也暗示了这一点，这并不是传统意义的同性电影。影片用中国老话改编一下便是：“小人报仇十年不晚”。个人认为美中不足的地方有几处：Phil对待Peter的态度转变太快，动机不够。Phil不够邪恶，甚至太过有魅力，死的时候让人惋惜。Rose临时起意，送印第安人牛皮，以至Phil对弟弟投诉Rose，使Peter下定决心，简单随意了点。
电影由小说改编过来的，剧情没有小说那样细致，所以看起来云里雾里。或者用同性恋表达两个自我的表述不那么恰当。
Campion 的手法好细腻，确实很适合呈现隐忍的感觉（但也很容易让人失去耐心）。12年拍一部的节奏太爽了！
我终于在peter说他有多的生皮可以让phil编完绳子的时候看出了peter的杀意。
7/10。也是一部本尼与“彼得”的故事，结合今日某片首映。
Delivery my soul from the sword, my darling from the power of the dog. 喜欢整个冗长又压抑克制的氛围，角色的张力和耐心，最后谷仓里点烟的戏份。Benedict身上真的有种莫名的敏感和孤独感。豆瓣2500纪念。
高度克制的叙事技巧，纯粹，庄严，文学化，让整部电影蒙散着淡淡光辉。
前半部缓慢的节奏让人摸不着头脑，但又有种其妙的吸引力，所有的情感显得细腻又繁复，交织在一起让人移不开眼。剧情当然值得讨论，但只讨论剧情实在对不起这部电影各个部门所花的心思。
好喜欢！整个电影拍得非常含蓄克制，看完当下会有点云里雾里，人物情感的交织繁复，而故事情节又很简单，走出电影院却让我回味无穷，回忆起一些细节，有点惊叹也有点怅然。电影的视听很出色，极好地渲染出了那种孤独压抑的氛围，这么美的电影是值得去电影院二刷的，在电脑上看Netflix对得起Jane Campion吗？Benedict Cumberbatch的演出相当精彩，人物性格刻画细腻，尤其一些细微的情感变化都拿捏得很好，张弛有度，私心我要给他今年的最佳男主了！
本以为是讲...没想到其实是讲... 本尼拼了命去演，结果最后输给了小孩。镜头干净，情绪渐近，就是看到最后观众总觉得被耍了😜
谁会真的跟这种二傻子电影较劲呢，客观一点讲就是自恋且乏味。以后不会再看这类东西是它最大的好处。
人物细节刻画牛逼，虽然谈不上有什么剧情，但这几个人物却个个鲜活，简坎皮恩作为导演的确厉害啊。不过个人并没有很喜欢这整个电影，慢刀子刻人，也钻脑仁，还做不到好好享受，有点闹心。
我作为铁粉超级爱前段，人物侧写的段落几乎让我回到钢琴课和淑女肖像里那种细腻有力，时刻被撩动心扉的感受里，我特别期待这种东西继续交织成最后高潮那一下，也准备好了心碎。但最后那个结局让我难受极了。放在其他导演那里也是极精彩的，但真的一点都不坎皮耶，不是爆发和充满命运感的，怎么说呢，就好像看了个哈内克……心是碎了，但没爽到
拍得很漂亮，但故事很多地方不清不楚，男主的痛苦和占有欲来自哪里 男主对男孩的转变来自哪里 上一秒戏弄下一秒的示好 示好是真心还是假意 如果是假意 到真心的转变来自哪里 不能是明示男主是gay后马上看上男孩吧
开头琐碎缓慢不知所云，到结尾忽然震惊坐起，今天起床还在回味琢磨。“犬之力”可以理解为我们说的阳刚之气：影片中的三位男主角，Phil文武双全又粗鲁爹味，其实是在掩盖他作为深柜的自我厌弃。George作为富裕农场主的小儿子，温柔木讷得和农场环境格格不入，在哥哥面前相形见绌，所以在遇见心爱的女人且得到爱的回馈时惊喜落泪，也不在乎女方是图他的人还是他的钱，只想把她豢养成衣食无忧的金丝雀。Peter举止娘炮动辄落泪，常被大老粗们嘲笑，本质上却是一把兵不血刃的温柔刀。他们当中到底谁更具备阳刚之气？所谓的阳刚之气究竟是雷霆万钧还是不堪一击？女主角也很值得玩味，在那个女性没有出路的年代，她的所求不过是有自己的姓名和价值。真正让她绝望的恰恰是丈夫的精心呵护，而对她冷嘲热讽的大伯却是更懂她的人。人心多么斑斓。
