Mesrine: Killer Instinct and Public Enemy Number One

[WyldeMan45]

Wow, I just finished with 'Mesrine' and I was blown away. Vincent Cassel is incredible as Jacques Mesrine. Anybody else out there love these films? I was quite surprised to find that no thread exists for these until now. I'd really only seen Cassel once before that I can recall, and that was in Eastern Promises, where he didn't really get the chance to shine because he was opposite Viggo Mortenson the entire time. These films also star Cécile De France of High Tension and Hereafter fame. Anyways if you have never heard of Mesrine before, I highly recommend them.

Mesrine is a two-part (Mesrine: Killer Instinct and Mesrine: Public Enemy Number One) 2008 French film directed by Jean-François Richet and written by Abdel Raouf Dafri and Richet. The first part's script was based on the autobiographical book L'instinct de mort by French gangster Jacques Mesrine, while the second part detailed Mesrine's criminal career after his escape from prison, and his subsequent brutal end.
