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.
小马三族孤立原本是个很好的突破点，但是剧本仍旧回到了十分老套平庸的低幼化写作。G4的成功到头来也只是昙花一现罢了。
怀旧的美国70年代小镇，25岁女性和15岁男孩的青春故事。
对之前看到的西方凝视和男性凝视的批评做好了充分的心理建设，但实际观感这是一部水床电影，不必要想那些，躺上水床忽忽悠悠就过去了，挺好的。

I don’t understand, why make this?
所以说啊…..唉，也没什么好说的。男人至死是屁孩儿，女人至死要当妈。永远的拧巴，永远看不见尽头。
好电影，但是get不到这个感情线。姐弟恋的教科书级别作品了吧哈哈
对自己不知所措的人，总是希望可以跑到什么地方。
反正看完了。
剪辑、构图、运镜都是一流的，故事差点意思，后半段水时长的情节太多
PTA许是老了，镜头语言和横向调度自然驾轻就熟，外表看上去也还有点“怪鸡”，内核却已经俗不可耐了，还有套路的情节编排和刻意的符号填充，只能算是“作者式行活儿”。
3.5，PTA的电影总是独树一帜的，他总能用在小清新和变态之间存在的眩晕感迷惑观众，难得可贵的格局如此小的爱情故事居然在颁奖季收获这么多的提名，虽然个人不是很喜欢，但确实是去年值得一看的美国电影。
20220317le。70年代的青春爱情，几个小段落构成，简简单单。男女主角颜值一般。看完想去买个水床。
结局是我没想到的。这片跟《好莱坞往事》一个性质，导演玩得开心的那种。
old fashion，又苦又涩偶尔甜的感觉，名字也很喜欢，小清新还可以这样，我今天遇见了想娶回家的姑娘，
我跟Coming of age电影有仇 而且这部丑到无法直视

3d小马太可爱了，特别是独角兽，简直太好看了
PTA带着小侄子乱拍一气，始终还是那么带劲儿！
愉悦从头至尾，共鸣高频发生，完全剥离回忆神话色彩和成人俯视视角的最朴实也最彻底的青春狂潮中又通过客串明星带出的奇遇片段让梦幻照进现实、照出时代，看似完全的轻巧自由下是四两拨千金的意念和手段，无油倒车、三人晚餐等段落依然给出了PTA式的精彩调度，但其后女主的目光、“情敌”的拥抱等设计更是神来一笔，使情绪表意一并涌出。小霍夫曼在童星设定下呈现出的那种平凡感让人相信虎父确无犬子，哈伊姆则塑造出一个迷之闪耀的成年未长大形象。一言蔽之，本片带给了我颁奖季最大的惊喜
