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.
C罩杯好亮（啊不是，韩版翻拍的其实不错，变成了俺喜欢看的黄政民动作片了，棒子警察一如既往废物啊
虽然刘德华王千源那部原版其实也很一般，但还是比这部翻拍版要好，好不少。即使不和原版比较，单纯作为一部全新的犯罪片看，这电影也很难及格，节奏拉垮、不够跌宕、反派的行为很迷。总体也就是看看黄政民而已。
看了这么多韩国电影，感觉韩国警察在韩国民众心里的印象应该跟国足在国人心中的印象差不多吧。
影片翻拍自2015年刘德华、刘烨、王千源、吴若甫主演的《解救吾先生》
两个漏洞：一是黄政民给朴胜雄打电话用的是绑匪的手机，这个手机一直没关机，警察为什么不追踪定位？二是黄政民在电话里发求救信号用的是自己主演的《非法交易》里的两个警察名字，那么影片中特地设置的秃头粉丝绑匪都听不出来吗？为了凸显他真的很傻吗？
唯一有趣的点就是用了黄政民的实体，然后不断的巴结 新世界
改编的不错，原版绑匪出彩，这版人质出彩，彻底的韩影风格，可看。
没有《解救吾先生》情节紧凑刺激。就是借了一个明星被绑架的点子重新创作了一部电影
绑架的头儿别说黄政民有心理阴影，我都差点有心理阴影了，真的是狠啊这群绑匪。
剧情故事一般，没有惊喜，剧情有点搞笑，人质活到最后居然是遇到一群内讧傻子团伙…
冲着黄政民本来想给个四星的。但是看到最后，韩国警察简直就是傻子啊！越往后看，越气到爆啊！这编剧是跟警察有仇啊！
这个绑架团伙不够专业又稍显神经质，要是遇到马东锡秒秒钟团灭
竟然把我心中十分的电影拍成了流水线制品，黄政民你真的被绑架了就眨眨眼。
警察通过混乱中的一双鞋就判断出是男主就有点假了吧
故事倒也平平无奇，黄sir演了这么多打戏，很能打挺正常的吧。就是绑匪的嚣张跋扈显得太无理，内部破裂的太快，不像是干了这么多起案件的团队应该有的。其他的也没啥说的，黄sir在模仿自己的比赛中没有拿到头奖，就离谱。可看可不看吧。
大明星黄政民本人，怎么也像他电影里的角色一样无所不能呢，看电影的时候确实无法想象这本来是一个普通明星的角色，还以为又是什么战神呢。
我觉得蛮好的，人在求生的时候本能做出来事是真实的，也不是武打明星，也没有打的漂亮，很喜欢
一流演员救不回三流剧本的案例。（突然想看河正宇智斗诈骗犯[doge]）
你早点跟人家照相不就没事了。韩版改编的挺有意思，绑架的真的是黄政民本人，影片开头还给黄政民作了介绍，包括朴成雄都是出演的本人。韩国警察全是废物，最后还得影帝自己上阵。结尾还把这事又改编成电影了，心理阴影得多大啊！
这部片除了反派，似乎其他人对枪怎么使用有什么误解，特别是俩傻逼警察。。
