"(...) And as always happens in the great genre film, a description of a microcosm, an environment that is not to be the exact figure, the key to the whole company. In Milan caliber 9 There is more: there are those who stoically defends his honor vigorously until the last (the character of Chino / Leroy all), there are those who founded the commands respectability on violence and the threat (the U.S. / Stander), there are victims, there is the cynical computer (Ugo Piazza / Moschin Gastone), the brutal instinct (splendid Rocco / Mario Adorf), who is cheating and who is faithful, who preaches and the agent. And the eye of Leo's pessimism is without appeal: they are all doomed in one way or another to lose.
(...) (...) And the strength of Leo lies precisely in this, in being able to lend credibility and depth to its characters without resorting to sophistry psychological, simply searched the faces and movements, recording the silences and uncontrolled shots, making them stand out from the grotesque banality of the supporting characters . But beyond the interpretation of a large crowd of players without being prima donnas (hats off to Moschin Gaston, look for ice and once lived), a character is needed at all: Milano. A noir without a big city has almost no reason for being, and here as never before Leo can "to bring to life" Milan, unable to grasp, from the canals to the suburbs, Pirellone from the central station, the leaden atmosphere, the gray dirt, like a hood fatality and pain that hangs over everything ... Moreover, the titles of the film at times speak for themselves. "
