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.

满腔热血在哪里，不过全部冷血，韩国黑bang真是学到了港片的精髓，帮派斗争。两小时太长了，感叹太多。
90分钟，被侮辱了我智商90分钟！给两星，一星给小姑娘，一星给木匠的背带裤。
三星半。摊子铺得很大，人物多但线索少、冲突密但信息量小，差口气儿。
从马仔经历种种磨难，杀出重围，终于成就黑社会老大，却好似失去了一切意义！

望子成龙是恐怖故事吗？
一部母亲亲手把女儿变成恶的片子 全片感觉好压抑
《新世界》低配黑帮版……勉强6分吧！
电影用恐怖的表现形式隐喻了一种扭曲的母爱，以我都是为你好的名义，看似是爱的教育，却让孩子心底滋生恨的种子。
除了他弟弟之外这家庭没一个人是正常的，奇奇怪怪浑浑噩噩。
要不是近期我对棒子国的实际领土面积有所了解，我也会被片中那些不熟悉的地名和区域所迷惑，以为是部黑帮大片。我用大家能理解的话来解释吧：就是一群地级县的小混混被省会城市的黑帮盯上想要他们县的港口，这帮县里的小混混就反击，最后和市里的混混获得暂时的战略平衡。就这么简单，看完懂了吧。
总感觉差点啥，仔细想想应该是冲突和气场不够！
怎么说呢……反省一下自己的教育理念吧。你是为了自己还是真的为小孩好。
结果最后看到医生女友睁眼，我就......

3。虽然摆脱了一点程式化，演员也很用力，但是导演拍的乱，葬送了
一点也没看出来热血在哪里，叫这名字的意思大概是“缺啥补啥”？
郑宇身上有种难以言喻的气质，确实和本片也挺契合，或许是前面铺垫的太长，渐而变成了黑帮人文片，而且人文的也不太行，。
