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.
演员好，女主选角太现代了感觉随时能掏出智能手机开刷
“完美是无法实现的，所以才要追求完美。
想起老爷子演的第十二夜…
有明确的泪点处，也不是个好电影了（自认为），因为这些真实的事件本来就真挚得足以让人流泪。
大泉洋和影帝的演技确实不错，感觉片子里对“搞笑”的价值观和北野武几次访谈里表达的十分一致：做最认真的事情别人却觉得好笑；搞笑并不是要努力去“如鱼得水”，而是就要成为“鱼”，不游泳就死了，而不是让人感觉“努力”，那就是有负担的搞笑了。很cool。剧团一人有点厉害了。
我认得这老头：他一忽儿多头，一忽儿空头；前些年他曾是“圆梦巨人”、“头号玩家”，一转头，就成了带着一帮权贵坐飞船逃跑的科技巨头；去年他“不要抬头”，今年他“誓不低头”，他可真会换马甲。
每一个成功人士都不是偶然的，北野武的老师真是好老师，不仅传授的技能，而且教会了人生。从另一个侧面看北野武也是幸运的，青年时代居然能遇上那么好的人生导师。本来想小剧场当演员只是一个谋生手段，结果一步一步成为漫才大师，到后来走上人生巅峰。话说铃木保奈美依旧那么美。本片算是北野武青年时代的传记吧。
偏心但是就要打五星系列。小影帝颜艺自然是过硬的，本人带着「你小时候阿姨就看过你了的」的姨母视角。搞爵士，踢踏舞，还是我叔的故事。没有办法了，五星五星，2022爱不打折哈啊哈哈哈哈
师徒情谊很感人。
如果不追求完美，就做不出好东西。
马克里朗斯真是好。另外俩男的，一个移动迷宫一个滑稽游戏，都老了。恍如隔世啊！
一部真狗意淫正义的电影、一帮假狗舔的不要不要的、不谈那让人作呕的塑料主旋律、光是剧情逻辑也是漏洞百出、很明显、反正是糊弄狗的、编剧压根就没想好好写！😂
影帝的北野武，那种凶的气场一下子就能找得到（除了少了一点年迈感我还真以为是那个男人）。怪不得北野武看起来那么凶又那么温柔，原来是师父就喜欢八嘎八嘎八嘎啊。所以北野武看了会不会评分吖
拖沓半天，反转几个，守株待兔N多巧合。到底是套装还是套娃，拨开内里逻辑尽失，也就看看老戏骨演个热闹。6
真扎实的一部记录师徒关系的回忆片，电影的运镜手法和情节、细节让我梦回八九十年代的巅峰港片，影帝的表演更是毫无挑剔，神态像极了北野武，就是颜值高了点哈哈。
想不到除了立本人还有谁在尿尿的时候跳踢踏舞才不奇怪
我有预感这部电影将会被国内翻拍，或者改成舞台剧全国巡演……

不错的英式小品，还顺便致敬了希区柯克，结尾减一星
这种电影就是很明显地知道男主在扮猪吃老虎，就看编剧如何自圆其说，以及导演如何把控节奏顺带炫技，看完觉得二者都未提供惊喜，把故事限定在单一空间内需要个很巧妙的剧本，要能表现出高潮戏的心理对峙，拿裁缝刚要揭露杀人事实结果话锋一转这段就很小品，类似本山挤眼小沈阳说有还是没有那个感觉，老大全程也形同弱智，没有匹配对手，光突出男主老谋深算也没什么意思。
