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.
还可以吧，中规中矩的励志片，开场7分钟就把所有矛盾都摆在台面上，前30分钟就用了两次“BGM+快剪”，这就显得电影特别白，白到我根本不知道该说啥了，所有矛盾压着就让本来社会矛盾很尖锐的人们更加难受了，最后也依然是一套鸡汤取得了成功
文牧野➕易烊千玺➕田雨。《我不是药神》《送你一朵小红花》《夏洛特烦恼》！
前半段叙事非常强，后半段又过渡煽情，看完反而有些显假。
成年人的世界没有什么是容易的 往往崩溃就在一瞬间。成年人并不是不会哭，而是不能哭 不敢哭 要伪装，尤其没有父母的成年人，都不知道该对着诉说。愿好景常在
我真的很不喜欢这个导演，把我很期待的电影拍成这样，就好像添加了一些白开水在本来调好的冰咖啡里，我要去看看这位导演的其他作品是不是也搞成这样波澜不惊的感觉
我们都知道，疫情来了；我们也知道，大过年的。但是……
音乐铺太满了，感觉全靠音乐推。汪春梅不错。结局可以理解但狗屎，发布会前结束就好了。导演还是在很几个镜头里体现了水平的（比如第一次拆机的一系列镜头，田壮壮透过门卫室看哥妹两人的镜头）
当景浩说，他的理想是回去把大学读完…… 破防了🤧
最能打动人温暖励志；
残酷又温暖的一个故事。电影前面是现实，结局是奇迹。
有套路是献礼没错啦，但完成度很高，拍的也很动人。喜宝又自然了一些，太温柔了😭😭😭，很值得一看
大湾区的献片 电影情节我给三星
一篇合格的命题作文，抑扬顿挫，规矩工整，但故事本身缺少真正的灵魂和亮点。胜在演技吧，易烊千玺还是完成的非常出色的。小女孩也乖巧可爱。田雨没太多发挥空间，按照他的演技，应该再多些亮点的。
当年我嘲笑掏粪男孩的时候，80年的老板跟我说，他们当年追小虎队的时候苏有朋也还是个孩子。
真敢拍
打四星是因为这景浩跟我爸年轻时的经历挺像 这电影很真实
四字弟弟真的转型成功了！！！🎉 终于get到弟弟的帅点了！！
生活不易，还得继续。努力努力，总有奇迹！4星
非常好，朋友给的免费票看的，没想到这么好。男主身上除了创业需要的坚韧不拔乃至“不要脸”的品质，还有混社会和三教九流打交道的小人物感，很现实，这点丰满了角色。最后危难时刻没放弃的元老员工成了合伙人，甚至最后实现了各自的成功，很不现实，也很画龙点睛，在此点名表扬女员工成立的打工人保护协会！😈
Phil=以男子气概自居却否认自我身份的男同，George=普通的“正常”男人，Peter=看似阴柔却杀伐果断极其冷静沉着的男同。Phil这种极度自我压抑的男同性恋，以阉割情感和懦弱作为屏障，像极了某些恃宠而骄的toxic masculinity 和fragile macsulinity。而它们又如此弱不禁风，在真正的男子气概（犬之力）前一溃千里。这也隐喻时代对于男子气概定义的改变和不变，当今社会和20年代的美国西部并无二致，人们依然对男子气概奉若神明。简·坎皮恩试图警示这草木皆兵的危险观念，果然是学人类学的，洞悉人心的狂妄和阴暗。
