Like many a classic noir, Caliber 9 gets a lot of mileage out of its location shooting.

Fans of stunningly-constructed cinema need to add Milano Calibro 9 to their collections at the earliest convenience. Equally, the same can be said for fans of fantastically-styled moustaches.

Rated: 9/10

These are hard, stripped down, lean narratives, where the complicated webs of alliances and betrayals are laid out with clean storytelling lines of force and set in motion with a pitiless momentum.

The conclusion saves the feature, leaving the viewer with a lasting sting the rest of picture seems almost reluctant to offer.

Rated: B-

Parallax View

... a hard, unfeeling brutality, a pitiless expediency and an understanding of who is expendable, who is untouchable, and what happens when those rules are broken...

One of the most perfect gangster movies ever made. Twists, brutal violence, stunning cinematography, great acting and touches of offbeat humor. A must for fans of hard-boiled crime.

Above average poliziesco featuring a groovy score, relatively understated violence, and a sweaty, gritty atmosphere.

Italialaiset ovat lähes aina osanneet leffan visuaalisen ja musiikin tyylittelyn. Juoni on käytännössä aina ollut toissijainen. Lisäksi, välillä tuntuu, että henkilöohjaukseen ei panosteta riittävästi. Kohtausten dialogit ovat usein naiveja ja hahmot jotenkin ylinäyteltyjä. Liekö tarkotuksellista vaiko tahatonta. Vai johtuisiko tämä tuntemus sittenkin leffojen surkeasta dubbauksesta.

Gastone Moschin ("The Godfather, Part II") gets out of jail and is immediately confronted by a violent former associate (Mario Adorf) who accuses of him of having stolen and hidden money that belongs to violent mob boss the Americano (Lionel Stander). A violent and suspenseful crime thriller that has Moschin weaving a path between his former associates and a police commissioner (Frank Wolff), all of whom believe he's hiding the money. A great example of just how good these Italian crime films can be.
