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.
蛋生的师傅好帅啊~~~~~~~~
保留传统绘画的同时，开始了娱乐化探索。妙趣横生的盗火者故事，对抗世间不公不义的火种。
节奏，画面，音乐，讽刺，现在的国产动画片怎么都缺失了呢，尤其那段妖精跳舞的，放现在也是亮点
在我心目中，这部确实是第一。动画长片中，中国文化载体的顶峰。
现在的动画回看30年不知道会不会惭愧的低头…
watch because of Jesse, but 90 mins long is bit too long
抱歉，我只看到了34分钟。该影片的主人公是那么的乏味 尬笑 自愚 ……
我特爱看。从小就记住一句。人不可貌相。海水不可斗量。
当年邻居家拿电影画报糊墙，靠近房顶的地方就是《天书奇谭》的剧照，本人觊觎已久，某天趁邻居不注意搬桌子上椅子把画报给撕下来带走了。后来在央视六套看完全片，悲剧动画，泪流满面，当时认为这片是葫芦娃的续集来着。
肤浅的我需要一个超长解析～ 婚姻中还是需要互相尊重！很多细节细思极恐…
优秀的有点诡异的动画，老狐狸，俏狐狸，单腿狐狸。
蹦入清明上河图，
除了开头和配乐像希区柯克，哪里有胖导的影子啦。感觉编剧的闲笔过多，导演的人物调度也比较乏味，比之那些经典的客厅戏，差距还是蛮大的。剧作内容有点“两不沾”——走情节线呢，故事情节的突转不够；走人物性格变化线呢，三位演员之间的化学张力不够，塑造的所谓“富人”、所谓“被压抑的拜金女”，都太过脸谱化，剧情走向一猜即得。真，奈飞大电影的平均水准。
有众多著名配音，那个把饼套脖子上转圈儿吃的蛋生，嘿嘿～～
拍个半小时短片足够能说明白的事儿，拖拖拉拉整那么多活儿，大可不必
这部动画耽搁了多年,去年还是今年终于完成.作为当年中国传统动画的水平和一个对于我们的童年有意义的片子而给予四星.
小时候看是看狐狸精 长大了再看 水墨画的美感 内容的讽刺性 制作的巧思 动情的配音 经典并且一点都没有过时 …最后的纪录片看得也好感动 『奇、趣、美』
🌟总体评价：
还可以，从头到尾都挺抓人的，想知道剧情会如何进展。最后的结尾着实没想到。四个演员撑起一部电影！
据说老狐狸精像马诺，我觉得小狐狸精像范冰冰。
