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.
如今是一个荷尔蒙稀缺的时代，多一点荷尔蒙的电影挺好
看哭了，倒不是拍得多好。只是代入感很强，很心酸。“我本可以一枪毙了希特勒”，但我们终究是普通人。
反对英帝国主义的革命电影，中印人民联合起来一起打倒昂撒海盗民族邪恶统治…另外确定这不是gay片？
前有抗日大队手撕鬼子，后有印度革命两大战狼端了英国老巢。原来抛开意识形态，民族大义，家仇国恨看战狼是这么欢乐的一件事情。
我爸一边看得带劲儿，一边说：“呀，抗日神剧都不敢这么拍”
剧情非常契合今天的夜宵烧烤暴力事件，结局是男女老幼所有人都获得了枪，每个人都该有把枪。不常见的南印度泰卢固语，抛开开挂问题，动作设计特别有意思而且很燃。每次起跑出拳都要匀速慢镜头特写让人以为动作指导是扎克施耐德。
北美票房1123万美元，全球票房近1亿美元，厉害。没有反英传统的印度意淫神片，极其自恋，肌肉猛男就差全裸秀，看得肉麻，一贯的印度式夸张表演风格，看了一半一直出戏，实在别扭，弃。 2022·6·23 7.2/5067 短评2309条 %54/37/9 【IMDb8.1/7.9万 北美票房1123.21万美元，全球票房9986.59万美元，】
当然不是说就很完美，但真的超出预期。要不是最后把恩菲尔徳当半自动打过于离谱，我真的可以给五星
首相张伯伦的扮演，非常成功，而希特勒的人物性格塑造，显得稳健和缜密，总感觉与历史不符。全片较好的还原了二战前夕政治斡旋，留给后人诸多的想象空间。
戈培尔的奥地利美术生太违和了。灰色政治，导演给的张伯伦角度挺有趣。
坚持在狱中健身，就能治愈断了的两腿，跳在空中给步枪装填上子弹连开两枪。
我们不能选择所处的时代，我们只能选择如何回应。
跟《巴霍巴利王》一样，等于把英雄电影拍成了超级英雄电影，更注重的是爽感与视觉享受，合理性就实在没法考虑了。如果有机会，可以在大银幕上看到这样的电影，应该也挺过瘾的。不过，印度电影实在是太长了。
清醒的人看着一切慢慢陷入巨大的深渊之中却无能为力的绝望。
我不理解但我大受震撼，平均五分钟一个慢镜pose，这种直白的表达风俗，也明白了为什么加勒万河谷的三三们，是如此的表现和战力了。
好看的电影和可恶的revisionist history
拍得有点平庸了，感觉在进行无聊的二战考点复习。不过浅嗑一下德英外交组吧：“你梦见夏日，梦见蓝色铃铛的鸣响”（不愧是牛津男
geschwester Scholz Platz和Odeonsplatz😭
俄罗斯已经在基辅兵临城下！！张伯伦在希特勒面前简直幼稚地像一个幼稚园小朋友。人总是有局限性的 历史也总是在重复。在张伯伦的视角里 他一次又一次地 为了保持和平而付出努力 殊不知 却是在饲养一个人间恶魔
个体夹杂着爱恨卷入时代的巨大漩涡。不过最后那段字幕太搞笑了，非要把错误说成谋略，难道争取来的时间就是为了法国40几天就被占领，然后敦刻尔克差点全军覆没？
