Mesrine Part 1: Killer Instinct
Directed by Jean-Francois Richet
The first of an epic two-film saga, MESRINE: KILLER INSTINCT introduces us to Jacques Mesrine (Vincent Cassel): daring bank robber, showman, master of disguise, escape artist and iconic real-life outlaw. Returned from war, Mesrine turns to a life of crime after being taken in by gangster Guido (Gérard Depardieu). He quickly discovers he has a gift for robbing banks and forms a duo with lover Jeanne Schneider (Cécile De France, "Hereafter") to rival Bonnie and Clyde. When the couple is finally hunted down and sentenced to ten years in a maximum-security penitentiary, Mesrine sets out to prove that no prison is big enough to contain him.
Witness the legend of iconic real life outlaw, Jacques Mesrine.
Cast: Vincent Cassel, Cécile De France, Gérard Depardieu

Good Scorsese esque gangster flick. Jumps timelines a little too much, but worth it for Cassel alone.
Not amazing but good.
A man of no redeeming qualities who can’t even entertain the idea of redemption. Just a bad story.
