Critic Reviews
The films never lose sight of Mesrine the man, a fascinating character in that he's brutal yet extremely intelligent, has a skewed but discernible conscience, and, under the right circumstances, can be warm and generous.Full Review
It makes for continuously riveting, visceral entertainment that evokes a Gallic "Scarface" without the drugs.Full Review
The acting is macho understatement. Mesrine is a character who might have been played years ago by Gerard Depardieu, who appears here as Guido, a bullet-headed impresario of larceny.Full Review
Part One, at least, is a French "Bonnie and Clyde."Full Review
The enjoyment of the film comes from watching Mesrine's ambitions grow slowly but exponentially; the shock is in being reminded and re-reminded of his sadism.Full Review
