ComingSoon.net and CraveOnline.com have an exclusive clip from Mesrine: Killer Instinct, coming to theaters on August 27th. Its follow-up, Mesrine: Public Enemy No. 1, hits theaters on September 3rd. You can watch the clip here!
Mesrine: Killer Instinct charts the outlaw odyssey of Jacques Mesrine (Vincent Cassel), the legendary French gangster of the 1960s and 1970s who came to be known as French Public Enemy No. 1 and The Man of a Thousand Faces. Infamous for his bravado and outrageously daring prison escapes, Mesrine carried out numerous robberies, kidnappings and murders in a criminal career that spanned continents until he was shot dead in 1979 by France’s notorious anti-gang unit. Thirty years after his death, his infamy lives on.
Mesrine was helped along the way by beautiful and equally reckless Jeanne Schneider (Cécile de France), a Bonnie to match his Clyde. Mesrine made up his own epic, between romanticism and cruelty, flamboyance and tragedy.
In Mesrine: Public Enemy No. 1 the story continues Mesrine’s incredible life of crime while manipulating the media, the government and the police. He plans his last and greatest escape, hoping to leave France, and the character he has become, behind forever.
Stay tuned to ComingSoon.net next week for a new interview with Vincent Cassel on the films.
