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.
Sandra Bullock演技封神，所有的记忆都需要找到归处。
印度啊，电影拍出来了又怎样，结尾的字幕依旧揪心。不过，这片子似乎幼儿园老师很好当啊，小朋友都很配合。
就着最近的新闻，印度四男子强奸巨蜥，这片子值五星。
拜托国内的导演不要翻拍，不要去消解女性的苦难。
厉害，印度电影已经达到这个高度了嘛。我是说尺度上探到达的高度。
故事里的主人公，一切诉求只为让政府重视qj问题，但很可惜，这么简简单单的案件，至今在印度没有得到改善。
3.5⭐还不错，节奏稍微有点诡异，尤其是女主的卡点定格笑。反应的社会现实问题也很令人揪心，在如此混乱的大环境下，普通人能做的只能是孤注一掷得牺牲自己，引起大家注意。希望有一天，女生们能真的站起来，站的更高，通过立法和改变社会风气，girl helps girl👧🏻不光是在印度。
开头蛮好，中后段节奏有点拖沓，原来AirPods轻点两下是挂电话，为什么每次给女主生气的特写都要由远到近突然那么拉一下，实在让人出戏~
有戏剧冲突，有悬念，有反转，有演技，最重要有内核
好故事，但却不是一部好电影。但是片子的诚意在这儿。
【亮点】印度片拜托了跳舞之后，走逻辑推理的路真的是好棒棒的
即使有女总理、女警官，依旧不能保护女性公民，如此可悲讽刺的现实。
立意可以，但是这拍的太理想化了，甚至说有点差。
桑德拉布洛克党嘴太让我出戏了，除此之外，演得真好，大女主戏。
虽然有着差不多的结构和叙事
难怪了难怪了。。。。
立意很好，也直戳印度的社会现实，可惜为了推进剧情顺利发展牺牲了一些逻辑和合理性，三星半。
不希望每一次的进步，都伴随着流血和牺牲，有些东西，可以从一开始就做的很好……当一个诉求被长久忽视，它不会消失，而只会以更汹涌的姿态，卷土重来！
8 women have been raped in our country.
接这个电影，桑德拉布洛克就是奔着表演奖去的。里面那个黑人警察说得挺好，你要活在当下，不能活在20年前。里面有问题的人，都是活在过去的缘故。但是，又哪能这么容易走出来啊。
