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.
剧本杀式的剧情和展开，若是都能说成开创了一种电影的新类型，那电影的本质和地位可能需要都重新评估。
茫茫黑夜行，你我皆过客。很细腻温柔的一部电影，像雨夜搭巴士，迎着斜阳回家，晚风中饮酒，导演很擅长营造这种略带忧伤的诗意，通过一个普通的故事串起这些散落的意向，很美好。
看这部电影的一天是工作最忙的一天 忙着scb的事情 gdbc的合并 下午开了一下午会 晚上了边工作边看 晚安😴
有一种温暖的东西，是永存的，时间无法使其停止。喜欢夜晚，喜欢夜晚散步，喜欢夜晚骑车，喜欢夜晚吹风，喜欢夜晚的自由与松弛，各种各样的情绪都会被夜晚抚慰。
电影中的电影没办法在上海拍，只能跑到越南；而本电影没办法在当代拍，只能挪到民国。
- 那大家能看明白吗？ - 不一定能看明白。但咱们这部电影一定能留下来，咱们做了应该做的事，问心无愧。
轻盈质地 好喜欢啊
很久没看过这么安抚心灵的作品了，浪漫细腻又克制。
最后的报童喊着两船相撞不是最大亮点吗，真相只有一个人知道了……有点白夜行和x的献身的感觉，是个彻头彻尾的悲剧。场景台词确实略显粗糙了，但是处女作已经很厉害了～安徒生的夜莺与国王加一星
剧本很用心，编了很多层壳，每次反转，都会带出一个新的内核，野心很大，完成度也不错。节奏稍微有一点点慢，可能也是为了烘托大上海民国那个气氛，其他没啥缺点，值得去电影院。
前半段觉得是烂片，案件真相开始浮现的时候觉得整个主题都升华了。
是记忆，记忆就像火苗，只要有一点儿，便有变成燎原之势的可能。”
只是确实执行力不行。剪辑乱且碎，影响质感为0。另外，希望现在的国产片都能对自己有点数，没事不要动不动就超过2小时的时长。要懂得取舍。
生活就像一条河，那些曾经以为无论如何也走不出的困境，都会被流水带走，留下来的，是人生的历练和生活的智慧，就像伊莉莎白说的： "我们曾以为警见的，我们的碎片，会由我们的梦来滋养”啊~好像被塞纳河畔迷离的晚风温柔地抚慰了
“会有别人眼中的我们
要求不高，如果中国每个月能上映这样一部类型片，知足了。
《鸟人》，《圆月映花都》，《德州巴黎》，复古的remix和剪影配上缓缓流淌的时光。属于80年代的清爽和平静
Il y aura ce que nous avons été pour les autres, des bribes, des fragments de nous que parfois ils crurent entrevoir. Il y aura ces rêves de nous qu'ils nourrirent, et ils ne nous étions jamais les mêmes, nous étions chaque fois ces inconnus magifiques
内部梗相当多，迷局其实不迷，案件本身也很普通。但导演聪明之处在于悬疑片往喜剧路子一整，风格立住了。尹正饰演的李编剧是整个案件往前推动的动因，但真正的戏眼在张本煜身上。编剧厉害之处在于：每次觉得剧本无法推进 行至无路又峰回路转继续飞。完成度很高，希望票房大卖
6.5/10
