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.
马丁坎贝尔快八十了，一个会拍动作片的老手，上部《英伦对决》值四星，但这次的剧本实在太陈旧，Maggie Q被女特工角色彻底困住，全片最酷的其实是迈克尔基顿，为他设计的两场打戏值得一看，其余可快进。
好一般又无聊甚至难以看懂，最大的感受是李美琪真的也老了，至于其他，真的没意思，打着打着上床让我觉得是在致敬《史密斯夫妇》
三星半 这个杀手不太冷+史密斯夫妇+john wick 但跟以上三步比都差得远 maggie Q 太瘦小了 一个人干翻一群外国壮汉 不协调 没有拳拳到肉的感觉 打戏不够精彩 最后几分钟剧情很拉垮 电影在好几个地方拍摄 取景画面都很漂亮 总体中规中矩

中规中矩没什么可圈点的武打片。麦姐演感情戏一如既往的容易用力过猛
这年头Maggie还这么能打。是Nikita也是赤裸特工 后者已经想不起来讲什么了
怎么说呢～几位主演年纪加起来可以从现在回溯到康熙朝了，尼基塔+局长+液态终结者，加上发生在越南的故事，选角的基因似乎是对了，不管几位如何卖命动作戏，可就是显出各种疲态～最要命的还不是这些，而是自命不凡的白人统治者视角(K me or F me，这还不普信？)，李美琪在与白人对戏时打扮得格外“东方”，与亚洲人对戏就打扮得“洋气”，这是优势，也是迎合～兜兜转转还是回到杀手的舒适圈，到了当导师的年纪还是“门徒”，干了十多年还在“喜剧有新人”～不觉得悲哀吗？(小演员多像春夏啊～)
007量子危机导演，麦姬Q、妈惹法克侠联手抄《极寒之城》、《EVA》，想复刻John Wick的成功，首先你得有点新创意，可惜你没有
故事性比较弱，但是动作戏还是比较过瘾的，最后有点女权的意思
这部电影有两个震惊到我的地方，一个是Michael Keaton 与Maggie Q 之间不断调戏对方，很少看到基顿如此饥渴的样子，两个人之间还挺来电；第二就是靠近结尾处一个残忍的杀戮，没有想到这个镜头如此血腥，令人看了睡不着觉。不是因为吓人，是令人窒息的悲伤。
1星给Magic Q，好久不见，保养还行！1星给动作场面，有点香港片的味道，1星给还有点意思的故事，其他就崩坏了
武戏正常水平，文戏拖沓不知所云，好莱坞商业片
近年来流行的大女主动作片，最大的看点是Maggie Q保持了一如既往的飒爽身手，有点尼基塔大电影版的感觉......剩下的内容就乏善可陈了，当娱乐片凑合能看完...
感觉没看明白 不得不说李美琪 迈克尔基顿和杰克逊这个阵容很吸引人 但故事讲的有一说一确实很烂
一部爽片，结尾没看懂。开头戴口罩有点穿帮了
白老男人和Q见两面打几下就干床上了?然后一秒，就躺平了...
美琪徐娘半老风韵犹存，电影整体风格干脆利落，动作场面比最近网飞的几部片子好得不止一点半点。最后揭露女主身份，交代了前因后果，把整个故事补充完整，挺悲伤的。

MQ逃不出尼基塔的影子，而且还开始了中年油腻。
2021/9/21/刨去基顿的角色感觉更像一个完整的故事，跟同期《凯特》相比，剧情更加地完整。但是李美琪和基顿的几场对手戏完全没有看明白，虽然基顿演得很不错，结局也有点开放式结局的意思，还有最大的BUG就是30年后那个柜子还在那里。
