Mesrine: Killer Instinct- L'instinct de mort (1:53) 2007

Jaques Mesrine was a real life criminal and committed crimes in France, Canada and the United States. Vincent Cassel of Black Swan fame portrays Mesrine. The movie begins with Mesrine returning to his family's home after his tour of duty in Algiers. He starts working for Guido, a gangster, by robbing banks. Mesrine gets married and has three children but spends some time in prison. Upon his release, Mesrine works in a honest business but when the boss must lay off some workers, Mesrine leaves the company and resumes his life of crime. His wife leaves him and then Mesrine leaves for Quebec. He teams up with a member of the QLO and starts to rob banks. The trio (his girlfriend also) is sent to prison where the treatment is cruel and Mesrine vows to escape for a prison that was built to be escape proof. Will Mesrine succeed? I really likes this movie and will be watching the second part as soon as it is available. Cassel is excellent in the starring role.
