委内瑞拉男星埃德加·拉米雷斯在片中出演著名的巴拿马拳手罗伯特·杜兰，视频搜素而罗伯特德尼罗饰演他的训练师，视频搜素同样很有名气的雷·阿赛尔。上个世纪70年代，杜兰是拳击界最可怕的人物。野性的眼神、黑色的头发、凶恶的战斗作风，使得杜兰在轻量级比赛中是个让对方感到恐怖的人物。从1972 年到1979年，杜兰在拳坛上势不可挡。他在至少三个级别的比赛中获得过冠军。这位巴拿马拳手是世界上唯一一位跨越五个不同十年还在战斗的拳手。杜兰2002年退休时已经51岁了。本片围绕杜兰与另外一位著名拳手舒格·雷·伦纳德（Sugar Ray Leonard）的一场传奇之战展开。1980年11月25日，这两位拳手在路易斯安那州第二次相逢，而在此7个月前两人的第一次比赛中，杜兰险胜伦纳德，尽管那场比赛很悬，但是场外裁判一致判定杜兰胜出。在第二场对峙中，本来结局会大不一样，但是杜兰在第八轮比赛中队裁判说出“放弃”，让伦纳德获得了本场比赛的胜利。从此，杜兰在本土成为最不受欢迎的拳手，此后他花了很多年时间来重建自己的声誉。

回复 :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.

回复 :《三王來朝》讲述三王来朝拜耶稣诞生的时候，但电影不是去歌颂这段故事，而是用了十分平板的手法去描述，三王更只不过是普通的人，大部份时间就是描述他们千辛万苦去寻找耶稣诞生地，及遇到的难题，而最大的难题是莫过于在山林中迷路及找路。在近年众多新星导演之中，西班牙加泰罗尼亚导演Albert Serra算是较具争议性的一人。因为他的电影是如此简约，甚至可说是简陋，即使有不少人大力推崇 (如法国的 “电影笔记” 便曾把导演上一部 “Honour of the Knights” (唐吉诃德) [2006] 选为2007年最佳电影第七位)，但也有人质疑他只是趁着当下慢板长镜头当道的艺术电影潮流故弄玄虚，制作出件件国王的新衣。
