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.
严重依赖剧本和演员演技的话剧电影，只有一个场景，一点也不枯燥，节奏飞快，转折不断，非常厉害了。8/10

裁缝小店故事多，邪恶入侵牛仔裤，话术杀人缴子弹，激将藏尸窝里斗；剧透预警：开膛手杰克大战芝加哥黑帮。老派优雅别致
好看，有一种简单的精彩，一种老电影的质感。
佐伊·达奇的演技真的是差，只要她开口，就让人出戏。
事实证明Mark Rylance确实是神，然而剧作也是一流的。从此影单里又多了一位可以持续期待的导演
看完全片后，再去看开头的旁白，觉得台词或多或少都带有了一点隐喻……西装由四种面料组成，片子的人物由四部分组成；做西装前的测量不是那么简单的事，嗯不是那么简单……
故事和拍法都真的挺俗的，看得出影帝擠眉弄眼辛苦了，但北野武本人一出來就無法相信他倆是同一個人了。門脅麥越來越好了
一出精彩的“舞台剧”。全靠男主像个漩涡，自始至终吸住所有悬念、妙处、爽感。其实也没多惊天动地，最终他真的只是一个裁缝，哦不，cutter，coupeur，揸fit人。
Berlinale居然会入没想到 肯定又有人要出来说这说那了（嘻嘻）剧情本身不反套路吗？挺棒的啊 也许我对黑帮题材本来就有滤镜吧 这是“凡人”也有搞翻（搅屎）帮派的典范哈哈哈哈哈 😃😃😃
有些味道，但是反派太弱智了些就会让人觉得这个故事偶然性也太大了
但是剧情真是…看的时候紧张刺激
后半段还是有些煽情过度了，要是北野武老爷子本尊出场，绝不会允许拍得这么实的～但瑕不掩瑜，整体的观感还是很不错，重心放在师徒情上，也捎带展现了数字媒体对舞台表演的冲击～“由来只有新人笑，有谁听到旧人哭”，但这部电影是真的让我在新人的笑里听到了旧人的哭～另外柳乐优弥的演技也不错，确实撑起了痞气又烂漫的北野武～
越美好的过去，回味起来反而越心酸。对过去的怀念，遗憾，师傅的照顾与教导，都会被时间裹挟着冲淡。
片子拍的过于端正了，很多地方嗯煽情，但无奈剧本实在太好。我真的是从中间哭到结尾眼泪没有停过。看着这个全世界最酷、最孤独的男人的背影，我真的想弄清楚：他到底在想些什么？在把大半辈子都奉献给了艺术后，名为北野武的男人到底得到了什么？他还有什么想要的吗？《座头市》的片尾，阿武安排了让全剧组的所有职员上舞台跳踢踏舞的戏，那大概是两种永恒中的一种：既可以继续待在剧场死死倚靠伙伴间那一点点的真诚和温情，永久地跳着滑稽的舞蹈；也可以在即使电梯这样的逼仄空间里跳踢踏舞。“混蛋，我可是艺人！”他从来就不可能后悔。（影帝的演技实在太nb了..小麦也很有长进不过扮相咋恁像低配小松还是短发适合她）
反转就是叙述的诡计，开局一间房，反转都靠嘴。还是有些单薄，属于看过了就看过了，留不下一点印象和想法的片
真的，少爷死的时候还觉得这剧平平无奇。但后面的剧情还是蛮惊喜的，除了老爷子纹身有点假，另外如果能演出后面判若两人的感觉就好了，现在就觉得最后的反转怪怪的
对于一个“计划”来说，毫无周密性可言
3.5
师徒情谊表现的很准确，如果是北野武来导会更感动。
