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.
没有了爱的感化，社会变得冰冷，人与人之间变得冷漠、猜忌、提防。
煽情段落和迷局设定一样刻意…视听都是为当下一个片段服务的…这片倒挺像个商业局的…然后细想了下假中藏真难道是说日本保留了真中国文化？
儿童电影，美好，也有学校里的欺负，这样才能长大，狗狗很可爱通人性。
你解你的，我看我的，反正你也不会解不出，我也不会猜的到
额
还是很喜欢的，所以大红狗的原型是拉拉吗？真是可爱。
题材是非常可以的，奇遇类型，很适合亲子一起看，比较欢快轻松，神秘商人加分
当成儿童电影看就挺好。谁能对可爱狗狗say no呢！
修狗很可爱，但这故事都吸引不了我读小学的妹妹
A story that began with two lost souls ends with one big family
纯美式家庭爆米花电影.有钱的永远会干些坏事.
骑着大红狗的时候好飒~~送别狗的那段,看着感同身受.
温暖 儿童片 寓教于乐 扎眼的红色巨型拉不拉不多就炒鸡可爱 这种巨型宠物《玉子》也算！#电影 #大红狗克里弗
虽然是个儿童片，但是小孩和大狗的人物关系没有做好，这是本片根本之处
很温馨，虽然很政治正确，但是很适合我现在低落心情时候看
不能细想，故事的完整性有所欠缺，主要是来看看葛大爷的
共和的歌很好听
I’m also not looking for a dog 🥺
合家欢电影。有些衔接不够自然。剧本再好好打磨就好了。
3.5星。合家欢电影，小朋友+大狗狗的主角模式，谁还在乎那么多剧情啊，够萌就行啦，至少我看得很欢乐，但成也红色败也红色，总是会忍不住想，如果不是大红狗而是其他颜色的话，会不会更可爱？
