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.
这个电影啊，就算剧情超级超级烂，整体素质也不会差到哪里去。因为它有那个“味”，市井的味，平民的味，而实际上里面的人物都属于中产阶级，上好大学、留过洋、有房有钱，可看起来还是普普通通的人，而不是摆起面孔充当霸道总裁和高冷公主，除了口角上的暗暗小交锋，再无波诡云谲，看起来舒服，听起来舒服，即使死亡也没有产生不适。
分寸感太好了。故事有一点刻薄和揶揄，但也有爱意。人物有一点平凡和俗气，但也有一点浪漫。
创作者对于爱情/生活/电影的想象和理解是多么贫乏，而观众又是多么饥渴
一个中年离异男，一会想搞画展，一会想睡中年离异女，一会给中年离异女带娃，一会想跟中年女大款胡搞，一会想掺和儿子的恋爱，一会被修鞋匠忽悠，一会被老妈不停的骂十三点，一会跟好朋友翻脸，最后好朋友死了，画展也办成了的故事。没有主线，人物混乱，没用的纸片人众多，内容全靠水词堆砌，拍摄去导演化，基本是个电视剧拍法，从头到尾也不知道到底要说什么，结尾还突然跳线到了男二号身上，男二号成了核心焦点，还拿索菲亚罗兰开了个李春平的玩笑，也不知道跟男一号有什么关系，十分莫名其妙。如果不是这些好演员，大概这个混乱叙事，这个电视剧拍法，结果可能不会像现在这么好。
Reality is not a Fellini film，但电影里甚至有人跟你聊费里尼
在上海影城看的，前后座都笑疯了，窝不知道灵不灵，就是小资得想打110了
富婆和ktv小鲜肉、男生化妆和父亲的冲突。都是女导演带来的银幕新视角。在电影院bgm和色彩好沉浸。
2.影片里有段倪虹洁和马伊琍吐槽男性导演/编剧的台词，我突然就想到了金庸，果然这些年被金庸笔下的女性角色带跑偏了。
太讨厌上海话了…………真的 在电影院要看吐了🤮
很少看爱情、剧情类的电影会有这样平和的喜悦，甚至看到了李安《饮食男女》的影子，像是什么都看到了，但又好似什么都没看，细细回想却又有细腻绵长之感，难得。
这世界上从来没有值得不值得的事情
标记了4颗星。比3颗星多，但是离心目中的4颗星还有点距离。
中年爱情，美妆达人，各种上海专属烟火气，每一个都踩到我的点。感觉电影院里上海宁含量超标，因为播到用上海话骂人时整个电影院大概除了我都笑了……（真是第一次听……）但还是想吐槽——别说上海，一线城市哪有天没黑就能下班的广告公司……
有种欧洲文艺片的气息，普通生活里也有画有艺术有电影。人到中年还是想交心想爱或被爱，人与人的关系也可以在不同定义之间游走，再怎么不在乎借着笑话说出来的话也可以是流泪的真心。这种生活流的群戏国产片真是稀缺，再加上沪语加持更是块瑰宝。
自带伍迪·艾伦气质，拿腔拿调的中产“海派小品”。老乌这个角色抓住了上海少数“老克勒”的精光气，戏好人物佳，全片最为丰满。必须承认的是，影片拿大量配乐试图去缝合松散的叙事。叙事虽散但不乏舒适，娱乐一看已足够。
《李小姐的高跟鞋》《她相好的就是北方人》《我编的》…维斯·安德森之后迎来伍迪·艾伦，中年男人的爱情与家庭碎一地…总之，恭喜徐峥老师找到全新口碑密码。
设计感过重 靠台词和语言来表达观念 令人失望
每个场景都知道在哪拍的，好喜欢呀！“原来纽约人看伍迪艾伦就是这种心情。”上海人满地找头，其他人面面相觑。
难得国产电影也可以像日本一样拍比较家常、靠近生活的题材，超出预期了
惊艳到了，这款电影没见过啊，整体叙事丝滑饱满，老乌的故事浅入深出，给人的联想留白含蓄有品有力，现实和故事似真似假交织发展，演员力道味道都炉火纯青升仙得道，所以你说他要讲什么道理呢，要我说什么道理也没讲，就讲了个故事，讲了一些平时我们接触不到又偶尔见到的人。这下徐峥的人设也要加分了，又会做饭又有租收的好男人，怎么能让人拒绝呢。
