“Nobody Kills Me Until I Say So.”
~Jacques Mesrine
MESRINE: KILLER INSTINCT (release date August 7th) introduces us to Jacques Mesrine (Vincent Cassel), a loyal son and dedicated soldier back home and living with his parents after serving in the Algerian War. Handsome and charming, he is soon seduced by the neon glamour of Sixties Paris and the easy money it presents. Mentored by Guido (Gerard Depardieu), Mesrine soon moves swiftly up the criminal ladder, choosing the high risk life of a gangster over the honest life of the hard working family.
After pulling off an audacious heist, he and his lover Jeanne, flee to Canada where the opportunity of one big payout lures him out of hiding and propels him towards international notoriety. The incredible and brutal story of Jacques Mesrine continues in MESRINE: PUBLIC ENEMY NO 1 which is released in cinemas on August 28th.
I was lucky enough to be invited to a preview of both Mesrine: Killer Instinct and Mesrine: Public Enemy No. 1 recently and I can highly recommend both of them - unfortunately reviews are banned until this coming Wednesday when you will be able to find my review right here on Culch.ie 
In the meantime these testimonials from the movie’s own website will give you an idea what it’s like - and I’d gladly watch it again given the chance 
“An instant gangster classic” - Empire magazine
“Goodfellas meets The Godfather. Vincent Cassel is electric” - Uncut

I really want to see how well Gerard Depardieu has aged in the last couple of years. I used to have such a crush on him!
Would love to see the movie. Curious how the French treat their John Dillinger.

Sometimes it’s so tempting to create an alter-ego.
This looks really fgood.
