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.
荒野生存片，为事业奋斗的精神可嘉。后半段的出现幻觉部分有些突兀。
看这电影，让我感觉有瞬间回到了青春校园的错觉。同是40岁，她一直昏迷着过了20年，醒来已经40岁，却还是满满的活力，追逐自己的梦想，仿佛时间忘记了她，王心凌也是，哈哈，还是小学时候的我记忆中的甜心教主。哈哈哈
居然比预想的还要走心～昏迷20年的拉拉队长在37岁高龄继续回中学争夺毕业晚会皇后～个人成长/友情亲情/社交网络时代和千禧年的碰撞～看到致敬小甜甜的Crazy听到Hot in Here，Come On Over等时代金曲串烧真的情怀加分～
让人感慨的是，似乎确实看到了20年来青春歌舞片的变化，又能感受到导演致敬过去的想法。
主要视角当然是在主角团这里，但发生在丹麦的配角团争取救援的情节显得有些不明白而且戛然而止，最后救援队如何来了耶也未知。虽然不是重点
经历过生死确实能改变一个人看待世界的角度，也许我们需要有一个让自己深信不疑的信仰。
真实经历应该很曲折，但电影并没有表达出来。
了解主创想把90年代的校园电影带回给如今的观众，但是假欢乐有点多。预告片比正片好看。
中国主旋律，不行！
还是很可爱的！小演员们都好可爱啊充满着活力
开始还以为是普通老套的美式青春校园喜剧。拉拉队长在毕业前夕的表演中摔伤，昏迷二十年后苏醒。苏醒后的唯一愿望是重回高中，再当拉拉队长，成为毕业舞会的女皇。今时不同往日，中学已经不再评选舞会女皇，学生里也增加了不同肤色和取向的同学，成为核心的标志也不再是成为拉拉队长，而是看你的网络粉丝有多少。虽然最后还是一个（迟来的）成长，以及与好友和家人的和解的故事，但因为新老观念的冲突以及四十岁大姐的少女心还是搞出不少笑点。
受洗之后出了这么多事，这也算是对他的考验吧😂
或許，斯圖爾特一家都有心理問題，通過他成為神父的事情，都消除了心理問題，當然也就沒有什麽掛念了。他們都放下了史蒂芬，活成了自己，也一定和斯圖爾特做神父有關繫，因為他已經放下了，併且說話直指人心，讓基督教徒們更為信服。他實現了自己的救贖，也要救贖別人，驗證神學的偉大，當然，也是他經受命運捉弄之後的一種頓悟吧。
略显平淡，但不无聊。开头出现的根据事实改编，现实永远比电影能呈现的更加残酷，长达数年的荒无人烟的寂寞和难受，只有经历过的人才能真切体会到，探险家的勇气值得致敬
戏剧张力和表现力不够。但荒野求生的感觉是有点了。
前半段尴尬得让人难受 可能是代入幻想自己一觉起来老了二十岁太吓人 二十年后的政治正确台词很妙 但现实（欧美）也确实是飞速发展的二十年 很真实 后半段太暖了 特别是毕业舞会那段舞 感动到想落泪

中国主旋律，不行！
竟然很好看…37岁的青少年，没有奇幻色彩。
又一个被教会洗脑的正常人……哥们，大难不死要感谢的是现代医学和科技进步，谢上帝是什么脑回路。以及胖版的沃尔伯格长得像杰森贝特曼。
