The first part of an epic two-film saga, "Mesrine: Killer Instinct" introduces us to Jacques Mesrine: daring bank robber, media showman, master of disguise, prison escape artist and iconic real-life outlaw. Starring French superstar Vincent Cassel ("Black Swan"), this high-octane crime thriller sports an all-star cast and a long list of awards. "Killer Instinct" shows us Mesrine as a legend-in-the-making. Recently returned from the war in Algeria, Mesrine quickly 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. The couple is finally hunted down in the Arizona desert and Mesrine is sentenced to ten years in a maximum-security penitentiary. But he is about to prove that no prison is big enough to contain him as his larger-than-life story unfolds.
Jacques Mesrine, a loyal son and dedicated soldier, is back home and living with his parents after serving in the Algerian War. Soon he is seduced by the neon glamour of sixties Paris and the easy money it presents. Mentored by Guido, Mesrine turns his back on middle class law-abiding and soon moves swiftly up the criminal ladder.

MesrineThis film is absolutely amazing , and its all true superb acting and its great to see a foreign action film that works so well on all levels. Vincent Cassel is a pure delight and you never want the movie to end its long but the story needs it. i originally brought this in London as i couldnt wait. Also i recommend season one and two of the Australian tv show Underbelly..Score: 5/5
Oui, RentableIt will entertain you--though there is nothing new or novel offered. Regardless, it's fun to see a lawless juggernaut run rampant through places like France and Canada... tearing down everything and everyone put before him. The director lives up to French tradition, showcasing an artistically-conscious intelligence: a good portion of the camerawork is so dynamic as to be thought-provoking, e.g., "Why that angle? And the split? What is the director trying to tell us?" You just don't get that sort of creative commitment from Hollywood directors. Additionally, Cassel makes the movie fun even though the content is often brutal--kudos to him. The least satisfying element here--also perhaps the most exciting--is that this is only Part 1 of a 2-part story, and so the end necessarily leaves you feeling incomplete. I would never buy this; there's just not enough to merit multiple viewings, BUT: as far as renting goes, for $4, it's pretty perfect as a late-night pre-bed drown-out-the-day bit of cinema. P.S. Can the children who mark down every review as unhelpful just stop it already? Don't you get it? It's US (the consumers, holders of hard-earned dollars) vs. THEM (the money-making machines and their myopic operators). I'm not saying we have to sit in a circle, hold hands and sing, but can we acquiesce to the slightest bit of camaraderie? For the sake of our wallets? You want anarchy and chaos? Great. Direct it at Them. You'll have my full support. Vive la Revolución!.Score: 3/5

Yes!I tried watching Scarface with my friend once since she claimed it's, 'the best movie ever made' and I fell asleep. This movie however is a whole different story. Like Scarface it is a gangster film but 100x better. You want action? You got action. You want babes? You'll see babes. You want romance? ..maybe not too much of that, but trust me when I say that this is one of the best movies I've seen in awhile. Watch it..Score: 5/5

Too expensiveITunes needs to lower their rates. This movie has great acting but the plot is totally predictable. The dialogue is tired and simply stupid in a lot of places. Even the violence starts to get tired and insipid half way through..Score: 2/5
