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.
情节和对话平淡到不可思议/事实证明帅哥到了九十岁依然会迷人
东木老爷子还这么敬业，虽然剧情上有些跳跃吧，后面女主虽然是墨西哥的，但是作为寡妇那么多年，也太主动了点吧。。。
已经耄耋之年的东木的新作，不好说是老骥伏枥、宝刀未老什么的，而是我鲜少见的：温柔的东木。有着他曾经影片中最熟悉的元素，却放弃了不犀利不深入的悲伤故事，讲了一个平铺直叙，甚至没有什么高潮点，一老人，一少年，和一只鸡跨越美墨边境的故事，像是他的人生自传一样，像是对那个西部牛仔年代，还拿着枪的东木的致敬和怀念，转眼间已是拖着一身老骨头，给年轻一代讲他的所理解的世俗的老头了。他这次的转变，像是我最喜欢的小说家，写起了散文的感觉。
故事比较平淡，缓慢，老爷子90多还挺硬朗，女人见了都为之着迷，他也只想搂着女人跳跳舞。
好家伙大爷拍公路片上瘾了吗这是？macho会被老板娘烤还是炖？🤓
东木老爷子帅了一辈子，现在已经91岁高龄了，只要还能继续拍电影我就心满意足了，何必苛求年轻时的质量呢
克里特伊斯特伍德 当年不二的西部片翘楚 数十年如一日 自拍自导自演。。。近年年逾九旬依旧以一年一部以上电影的速度兢兢业业着(*ˉ︶ˉ*) 这对于日益凋零的西部电影来说也是一份鼓励和动力☆*:.｡. o(≧▽≦)o .｡.:*☆ 这次老头子来到了德州，他扮演的牛仔早已风光不再。。。一日旧日好友出资请他远赴墨西哥带回早年遗留在那里的儿子，小盆友已到叛逆之年，顽劣、还养了一只名为Macho 的大公鸡在街头与人斗鸡为乐＿φ(￣ー￣ ) 经过一番讨论说法，两人便踏上去往德州的路程。。。。不久两人遇到了来自少年母亲方面的阻挠，原来少年的父亲这次也是想借着寻子 以其威胁其母以收回在墨财产。。。。。。。
这部影片无论是从剪辑还是选角都是垃圾，几乎没有看点，叙事碎片，不连贯的观感就像是片儿汤，但毕竟是东木老爷子的电影，虽然已经能看出力不从心的感觉了，不过还是有些台词值得回味。

真的要是别的导演拍的，能有三星，但是东木啊，可能是真的老了。
一老一少，一段road trip，路上遇见的人都帮他们，女人爱主角，问题都能迎刃而解。不行，即便这是东木的，也不行。
passive cynical unapproachable老东木变温柔了！
一顶牛仔帽（《镖客三部曲》）、一辆老福特（《老爷车》）、一段邂逅（《廊桥遗梦》）、一场骑马教学（《百万美元宝贝》）、一条送运之路（《骡子》）、一种近似父子的感情（《完美的世界》），一部很伊斯特伍德的电影。
嗯？这只🐔咋让我想起前几天二刷的《没有人给他写信的上校》电影格局不大，就有点温情公路片的感觉，没什么亮点剧情刻意的地方不少不过看着挺舒服的还有墨西哥美景做伴，随着乡村乐会想起西部时代的荣光。
英雄易老，91岁的伊斯特伍德亲口说道：“我以前是个狠角色，但我现在什么也不是了，我得告诉你，男子气概被捧的太高了，以为有男子气概的人就完美无瑕了，那些人觉得有男子气概才能彰显他们的毅力，但最后他们什么也没有……你以为你洞悉世间的一切，但当你随着年龄的增长，可等你明白这个道理的时候，又太晚了。” 些许这段话就是电影的核心，一个老而不死的牛仔传承给年轻人的人生智慧。
passive cynical unapproachable老东木变温柔了！
一切就是那么回事儿
惊悚片一定不是，西部片也不是。如果你喜欢看Clint Eastwood的片子，看了后虽然觉得没那么好，也还是不太想骂街，谁知道为啥
看着颤颤巍巍的东木，实在是太心疼了。但故事是真的挺无聊的
所有打四星以下的，我觉得都是吃屎吃多了，继续吃屎吧，还有那些分析的，我求求你别分析了。
