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.
7.0，疫情期间成功的小成本作品，AI＋METOO＋COVID，近几年的热点基本上都有了，社恐程序员的设定设置得蛮好的，最开始看到天猫精灵KIMI我以为又是一部批判人工智能缺陷的电影，结果发现完全相反。而且我还以为女主是叫KIMI，类似于《超体》的设定，前面铺垫没啥看点，COVID期间远程办公，居家日常，我比较喜欢的一个片段是女主初次出门的那段，摄影机高速移动，画幅抽象变形，把一个社恐人士出门时内心恐惧与不安拍得淋漓尽致，结局一般吧，正常结局，没啥爆点。最近几年桌面电影都频出，而KIMI则很好地结合了现实与虚拟世界，算是新方向的探索吧。这电影免费给AI小精灵打了一次广告。
把一个很好的创意玩得这么无聊也是一种能力。
一个导演只能拍属于自己那个时代的内容，这个是跳脱不了的。
没啥意思，唯一有印象的就是漏点了，付出这么大就拍个这？划不来啊
我竟然不脸盲了，帅黑警总感觉像帅了的张颂文
剧情简单略无聊，场景就一个（家），没有发人深省的思想内核，拍得很一般。
什么鬼编剧。。。。。
导演索德伯格功底不用多说，但剧情就是一个很小的故事，单线叙事，结尾处理太简单，虎头蛇尾。整个影片看完给人一种小家子气的感觉，但也能理解毕竟受疫情影响，整个好莱坞都不景气，在环境限制下，拍犯罪惊悚拍成这个程度已经很难得了。
制定规则者违反规则往往可以逍遥法外，像剧中这样被反杀只能是底层人的美好愿望罢了
片尾用的Elastica的Connection，瞬间回到Grunge盛行的年代，用得好，爽，四星加一星，镜头不搞广角、鱼眼那些极端主义的索德伯格还是很讨人喜欢的！

不错~
剧情很简单，但对一部流媒体电影来说足够了，有把疫情下人被风险、创伤、记忆、科技缠绕的状态点出来。
杀手墨迹墨迹干嘛呢，太业余了。
虽然说这个剧情细想起来比较儿戏，但是镜头语言，氛围营造，音乐都特别舒适顺滑。女主是真适合演猫女。
前面好长 好不容易看到钱女主反杀…就那么几分钟…然后没了 有点失望
女主不能打个911吗？
2星➕一星因为提醒了我牙齿烂了要及时看医生😥
题材不新鲜，剧情设计也不新鲜，总体上看完更觉得是一个小成本制作，部分运镜算是可圈可点。如果最后女主爱上了救她的胖子，我觉得才是我所希望的结局。
