Mesrine Pt2


Well we missed pt1 so it was straight in for the concluding two hours. A big advantage when you have never seen Vincent Cassel before (well not that I can remember) so he does become Jacques Mesrine. Great performance and a decent movie.
I read on dear old Wiki that he worked in an Architects office for a year in the early 60's, but lost the job within a year. This was when Brutalist Architecture was at its height, so maybe this French practice didn't like this particular vision of it.
7.5/10

  1. Oh, I'm going to have to see this now. He was excellent in 'Les rivières pourpres' but is a regular in so many great French movies. Another of his better films is called 'Read My Lips' (Sur mes lèvres).
