Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Milano Calibro 9 (released internationally as Caliber 9) is a 1972 Italian neo-noir film directed by Fernando Di Leo.Ugo Piazza (Gastone Moschin) is a small-time Milan hoodlum fresh out of jailed, harangued by both the police and his ex-partners-in-crime. Everyone is convinced that he ripped off $300,000note $1,985,088 in 2021 from his employers, despite his adamant denial. And everyone, his girlfriend Nelly (Barbara Bouchet); his former partner-in-crime Rocco (Mario Adorf); his old friend Chino (Philippe Leroy), and even the police, want to know where he hid it.It is part of the poliziotteschi subgenre of violent crime thrillers popularized in Italy in the late 1960s and '70s, inspired by Hollywood films like The French Connection, Dirty Harry, and Death Wish. Director Fernando Di Leo made a string of these films, forming a Thematic Series called "The Milieu Trilogy."Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The funky jazz-rock score was composed by Luis Bacalov (of Django infamy) and performed by prog trio Osanna.

Anyone Can Die: By the time the credits roll, Rocco and the Police Commissioner are the only major characters still alive.

Ax-Crazy: Rocco Musco is very enthusiastic about hurting/killing people, whether or not they deserve it.

Bad Cop/Incompetent Cop: The Commissioner is a borderline fascist hamstrung by bureaucracy from catching the real criminals, and his second-in-command is a reformist liberal who's nonetheless bogged down by the same corrupt system. They only manage to catch the bad guys after everyone's finished double-crossing/killing each other.

Anti-Hero: Ugo Piazza is a cold, calculating criminal whose Long Game sees him manipulate his former partners into killing each other so he can reap the rewards. Then again, they're also criminals.

The '70s: The setting is then-contemporary Milan, at the time one of the most high-crime cities in Italy.
