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. 乐淘影院为您免费提供非常完美国产剧、美剧、韩剧、动作电影免费在线观看高清版，本网站又名南瓜电影包含了嘀嘻嘀嘻。完整视频免费播放影片、影视大全综艺漫画等视频等尽在乐淘影院，无需下载任何播放器即可在线免费观看，汇聚全网视频在线播放。
主题太沉重了 但是角度很新颖，从杀人犯的父母这个点切入，不煽情不做作，就是真实地反映现实 两位主演的演技都太厉害了，你辛最后一手一脸血哭着说别走 太戳我了…唯一不足的是总感觉差点火候，演到一半才觉得渐入佳境
记得以前还看过一部《拉里从军记》，也是这个傻乎乎的大胖子一路恶搞。让人轻松的一部片子，当然，没什么精彩可言。
果然是我最喜欢的英国导演，鲁伯特再一次用强烈的个人风格和创作思路让好莱坞的类型故事散发了与众不同的味道，一个关于外星人统治下人类生存的电影却让人产生了在观看冷战时期柏林谍战片，爱尔兰革命片以及抗日时期谍战片的错觉，浓郁的写实质感势必让期待人类大战外星人的观众大失所望，但是影片绝对是那种值得你回味的革命片，结尾的反转让人想起了导演的《逃狱》，很喜欢～
赵真的是太可怜了，一个人躲在失火的明珠塔里那么久，吃瓜群众在围观强森的高空挑战，警察在和嫌疑犯周旋，愣是没有一个人想到要派架直升机过来救他垃圾
剧本也按照这种感觉写的，于是伸冤人很厉害，反派弱到爆，伸冤人一路狂虐对手，然后没任何警方找他麻烦，他依然可以回归平庸的生活，带着隐藏身份的快感……
