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.
钉枪直接给我打出橡胶手错觉...暴风雪山庄模式，以小成本来看算是小成功。毕竟反转都在意料之中。
其实挺无聊的，得二倍速，有些地方可以笑一笑。

反转很多，节奏快不拖沓，是一部合格的爆米花电影，当然其中也有很多令人怀疑角色智商的操作，让人想用“要是我是XXX，我肯定（不）会XXX……”造句。
小成本，还可以。就是说两个绑匪咱为了拐卖人口至不至于……还非得去绑架大户人家的闺女，直接就是进门抢了。
对于密室类来说似乎单调了些，猜凶手的悬念不够，拔钉子有点《电锯惊魂》。结尾没明白，难道一切不是女主在戒断交流会上看到那幅雪山油画的想象吗？？？
0227:难得看到亚裔女主的欧美恐怖片，演技还不错，但是既不悬疑也不惊悚，全称没有刺激的感觉，最后把黑人老婆划到绑匪那边简直无语，黑人还专门点明了退伍军人，结果毫无作用就挂了
小成本惊悚片，比较套路，但女主智商在线，起钉子那一段确实感觉到疼了。顺便说一句只看脸很有问题，一开始就应该相信黑人大叔的。
3.8/5整体蛮不错的，剧作，摄影，调度，剪辑，视听语言都用了心思，值得推荐。反派死于话多这个部分略老套了，有点可惜。
美国经济确实下行啊 几个杀手就为了区区200w闹出这么大动静 依旧是传统冷酷杀手和话唠搭档组合的喜剧 动作戏的长镜头可以看出导演还是有野心的 但还是一般的类型片
非常平庸，但是美国人为什么就是不喜欢斩草除根呢！！！
爽片。老头一开始说的贼牛逼，结果直接挂掉了，白期待半天。警察也是，专门来送人头，送武器，女主一开始磨磨唧唧就是不说，吃了毒品之后战斗力爆表
类似这种带悬疑色彩的困兽犹斗电影还是很值得一看的，况且是打拐题材，此时放出资源，也算是应景了。
它竟然是2022的电影！看出了一种十年前的水准。。。
对于一部动作喜剧片而言，这部电影也过于无聊了……
不应该叫暂无出口，应该叫不停反转。反转多了我都能猜出剧情走向。小女孩啥也没做赢到了最后。
黑夜，大雪，山林，小屋。这些元素混在一部片子里，对味！
前半段一直平平无奇不抱期待，后半段彻底跟着紧张害怕。又是一部优秀的小成本电影！
经典暴风雪山庄故事！反转不断！drug也可以救人！nice~
