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.
真的呆头，这女的呆里呆气的。但是有迈克陈，大帅哥，实在是帅的不得了！而且刚看完他在glee里面挂圣诞树，就看到在这个电影里面挂圣诞树，浪漫的不得了，让人小流泪
好喜欢欧阳万成啊，有趣的灵魂，太逗了😂。就他这个出场造型，任谁看了心中荡漾的背景音乐都会戛然而止吧。林家人太赞了，温暖的家庭，温暖的圣诞节，从不责怪孩子，唯有支持。“ Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.” 梵高的格言，翻译的是“不积跬步，无以至千里”👍。
昨天回家太困了，就想看部轻松的爱情片让自己甜一下，然后又看到是Jimmy Yang演的就果断点开了。里面好几个瞬间都被Josh哥哥的温柔给撩到了，这种Don‘t worry. I got you的温柔，就特别安抚我无处安放的焦虑，soooo grounding。虽然电影这个be the real you的主旨毫无惊喜，但是当这个不完美的忐忑的Josh被看到被认可的时候，我还是禁不住流了几滴眼泪。大概也是渴望这个不完美的自己不用再躲藏了吧。
hahaha，美女网恋白人帅哥，结果屏幕后的是亚裔极客。一个圣诞节租女友的故事，夹杂假戏真做，兄弟争宠等等等等~男主风趣机智让我想到了郭麒麟哈哈哈。
现实角度讲女主结局选择太难以理解 剧情上也没有给与足够的情感铺垫 有种为这种照骗行为洗白的感觉
A movie to watch when you’re experiencing your migraine.
很适合节日看的romcom。可惜男女主完全没有火花，最后kiss和之前说男主眼睛好看那我不厚道地笑了……哎。
Jimmy O Yang 演技可以哈 剧本也比料想得有脑
虽然结局完全不现实，但是Jimmy演的还不错
一般般，无功无过的三星小电影。因为欧阳万成小哥哥多给一星
Jimmy O Yang太没有男主相了…完全跟大美女Nina不搭…
这个hard真的不是hard to watch的意思？

其实估计也是很老套估计要反套路的失败作品。但nina实在是太好看了，看着肤浅又假假的好开心
貌似找到了我第二中意的圣诞电影！当然，《真爱至上》榜首位置依旧不能撼动，但这部真是意外之喜啊！好喜欢这个结尾！jimmy yang的演技真细致！Elena老了但依旧美丽～
很yy很圣诞很合家欢的一部片子，但现实生活中似乎白女+亚男的搭配不多？《真爱至上》真是每到圣诞季就会被拉出来鞭尸233333妮娜虽然胶原蛋白流失了不少但身材还是能打的，为了她多加一星。爱不是完美，是真实。
很俗很浅很假很dramatic，毕竟圣诞电影，但算及格吧，主要看下吉米欧阳
蛮传统的轻喜剧，最后一段致敬真爱至上点到了感动点上。
三十年河东三十年河西，jing yang都开始拍爱情片啦
有点儿stereotypical，但是没有让人感觉特别讨厌。不过我又知道些什么呢，那天晚上面完SN 的on site用甜酒大醉了一场。
