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.
暑期来临，希望更多年轻人能走进影院观看这部电影，浙西南革命精神振奋人心，应该被更多人看到并传承。
那一场血雨下的淋漓尽致，把我的眼睛都给浇透了，看到最后悲伤顺着眼泪流。
对我们而言48小时不过是躺着刷几集电视剧的时间，但是对于挺进师而言，48小时则是一场生与死的苦战，对比之下心痛到无以复加，感谢他们让我们有机会开心地度过生命中无数个48小时。
打斗异常精彩！动作设计简练实用、凌厉狠辣
想给3.5 风格化做到了，尤其是最后的红雨，很震撼。但是个别镜头很出戏（尤其是中间有一个明显的镜头拉进，我甚至有种看伪纪录片的恍惚）。关注战争小人物的微观叙事，视角很好，但是还不够微观。比如丁松柏这个人物的转变，聚焦了但完全没有进入人物内心:战友死了，自责、悔恨、想做些什么作为救赎、认识到超越生死的责任……于是不想娘了，不怕死了，决定舍生取义——这些都是观众从阅读过的无数革命故事中条件反射般脑补的，而不是影片呈现给观众的。不能说一点效果没有，但是影片本身可以更细腻更精彩。不过，比起民族主义和宏观叙事，还是宁可这样的影片多一点。
这几个面生的演员带给我很大惊喜感，演的非常好，一切都是恰到好处的情感流露，共情能力绝绝子。
剧作方面还是散了点，导致影片内涵很浅，如此拍电影，讲故事似乎成了一件形式主义的事情。
主线很清晰但剧情之凌乱，剪辑之混乱，令人一头雾水。炸药包哪里来的，子弹永远打不完，上岸之后还有火柴抽烟，都很经不起推敲啊。
这个叙事节奏，相当于拍了一部大河剧《新选组》的速看版，急急忙忙把事件过了一遍，无论是对这段史实熟不熟悉，都会觉得索然无味。新选组就是一帮随波逐流的无脑鹰犬，根本不知道自己想要什么和应该坚持什么，我对他们一点同情都没有。
喊番号的时候眼泪直打转。信念的力量真的好强，可以不畏生死，不考虑武器差距
在以往的战争题材影视作品中，浙西南革命故事很少被提及，对于观众来说，挺进师的名字更是陌生。选择以此作为电影的切入口，主创团队一方面是想弥补这一段历史在影视创作中的空白；另一方面是看到了故事背后的张力：在这一段不为人知历史中，一群普通士兵的信仰之路。
随便截屏都是一副超美的山水国画，质感绝绝子，战争的残酷也可以用含蓄的方式表达，娓娓道来也能让人印象深刻。
绝境下油然而生的悲壮感，融入南方的山水中、飘荡在芦苇荡中，带来一种极致美学。
一切尽在掌握之中
全片吴语非常亲切，就好像听阿公在讲故事一般，没有夸张的戏剧冲突和表演，但又不沉闷枯燥，节奏还是很紧张的，有点《1917》的感觉。尤其是小红军的死，让人唏嘘。最后敌军那句“都是中国人，别杀我”也让我大为震撼。
这应该是时间线拉的最长的一部新选组电影，也就不可避免的流水账，有一些很莫名奇妙的细节设定，在我的感觉，准一还是实在不土方
说实话，很失望
轻重失衡的典型，辛苦各位演员了。女性角色在这种男人戏里总是可有可无的点缀，唉。
很有前苏联时期东欧电影的味道，虽然是“红色”题材，但不是喊口号式的，塑塑造的人物也是朴质的，不是传统的喊着“冲呀”的“大英雄”，而是有着崇高理想同时也是软弱且敏感的年轻战士。影片很好的把这种“大理想”“大时代”和“小人物“”小事件”结合起来，用超现实主义的表达代替了商业战争片的表达。文艺而质朴，实属难得。
流水账…冈田时代剧越演越同一化了…能打。冷酷。无惊无喜
