Dehors ou mort!
When Jacques Mesrine returns home from the army to start a new life, he falls in with some unsavory characters. Then he becomes an unsavory character as well - a murderer, bank robber, and fugitive from the law. Part one of a 2-part story, this film is well written, beautifully shot and powerfully acted. Plus I am a big fan of Vincent Cassell (Black Swan, Eastern Promises). He is a great actor, but came to life in this role in a way I'd never seen him come alive before. Fans of films based on true stories and gangster movies will love this one. I can't wait to see part 2, Mesrine: L'ennemi public no. 1.
