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.
王传君是个好演员，王珞丹就算了。把对生死的思考一股脑地化作旁白表述出来，搞得电影像旁白配画面。旁白写得很好，画面也很好，后段回国了没旁白的部分也很好，但是凑成的电影实在不咋样。小孩部分像年代戏，青少年部分像青春戏，国外部分像科幻惊悚片，回国后部分拍出点贾樟柯的味道。拍得很用心，但不是部好电影。
真是绕来绕去，日本犯罪片的老手法了，无趣。
故事算完整，主题算深刻，但人物刻画和剧情节奏还是觉得少了震撼，干酱人设完整高光。 而我们正处在从四月开始的巨大荒谬中，尚不知光在何处。面对天灾，没有人畏惧，没有人愿意退却，让人失望的始终是那些以天灾之名泛滥的人祸
开头的那个年代把我一下拉回童年瞬间泪目，如今中年的苟且在看到两小无猜的美好时一下就崩塌了，上一次那么纯真是什么时候呢?可能它早就死了.
很套路的日影，长得像武井咲和樱庭奈奈美合体的漂亮女主果然才是凶手，佐藤健演很典型的日式无脑冲动男（低头皱眉眼睛上翻发狠）但又一点卵用没有，阿部宽还是要让佐藤健考上东大的样子，三云明显诱导老太自生自灭还要洗成会整理墓碑的老好人，议员倒是正面形象的样子，总的来说纯靠题材拉分
后面太扯淡了。
感受到电影想要表达的内容及其深度，但是故事本来以情感线索走得挺吸引人的时候，开始有些急乱，以至于电影的后半段在半真实半虚幻的感受中穿梭。总体来说，有好的表演、也有令人共情的桥段，但最后却没能整合成一部令人拍案的佳作，实属可惜，但不管如何，王传君的表演令人喜爱。
故事是个好故事，就是拍的一般，王珞丹挺强的，那么多个造型全部拿捏住了。
关于普通公民如何被“正常”饿死的故事。这个当口看感触会格外深刻。关键它不光写了表象，还探索了造成这种情况的东方社会和人性的内层。触碰到了最关键的地方。
开始觉得两个小时的剧情太长，看完后，两个小时哪够。整一个魔幻现实主义的题材，永生的最高境界是记忆永存，相较之下，生死似乎不是多么可怕的事情了
徐静蕾：我对别人都是逢场作戏，唯独对你一如往昔。王朔：让我交出自由青春和我的笔，我也不会交出你。
老王，也是会老的，也会起夜；也会在睡不着的夜里，把年轻时的那一道道墙，悄悄地再翻一遍～
故事和主题其实是比较一般性的展开，依赖情感在压抑处滚动的力量创造情感的体验。但我就很吃日式剧作这一套，那些在连接处，忽显忽断的情感指向，被演员们对剧本的深情演绎积累和爆发出来，紧绷成一根伦理和社会规则相冲撞的颤动的弦，当然也是很传统社会派的做法，但又有何不可呢，社会派的议题，也需要自我较劲式的人文关怀，这和观念思辨是不一样的，懂日本人的世俗情感就懂这样的“无聊”表达，相反是不会懂的。
喜欢李婷婷这个演员
是多么匮乏的镜头语言，才需要这样多的旁白来叙事
三个人没有发生过性关系的人，拥有一个共同的孩子。生物学电影？有点东西…可惜我没看太懂。
剧情改动还是まあ～电影比起小说更侧重了情感线弱化了案件侦查啊。天灾不可怕，人祸才最恐怖。反观现在反复的疫情，一时间真是不知道该去恨谁了（最后没有等到砂糖的女装，我爱阿部宽！( ̀⌄ ́)
TIFF 好好按原著拍不行么……非要又搞成震后创伤，所有人的表演都过于努力显得极度刻意，最精彩的情节不是靠剧情推动演出来，而是对话讲出来，累了
他好的时候我不必在，
拍得有点乱，看名字以为是科幻片，前半段成了剧情片，后面又差点变成哲学片了。王传君是知道自己后来要变成植物人所以一直演得这么木讷嘛。名气，财富都是过眼云烟，青春和记忆才是最美好而又稍纵即逝的，可惜现在干细胞研究依旧离突破和疾病治疗很遥远，更何况长生不老，所以还是珍惜眼前时光和身边人吧。王老挺有意思的，王珞丹那个角色年轻时随身带把弹弓随时发动攻击还挺酷的，王朔对娱乐圈的不满和不屑表现得挺明显的。
