Mesrine

MesrineThis is the life story of Jacques Mesrine a bank robber, murderer and kidnapper who was public enemy number 1 in the early seventies.

A film in two parts “Killer Instinct” and “Public Enemy No 1” this is far far better than Michael Mann’s “Public Enemies”.

Vincent Cassel’s portrayal of Mesrine is brilliant. However I found it to be too long, particularly the second part, it really did drag on and for some reason they show the ending at the beginning which I found really annoying. That said, its well worth a watch though.
