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

Mick LaSalle
San Francisco Chronicle

It makes for continuously riveting, visceral entertainment that evokes a Gallic "Scarface" without the drugs.Full Review

Stephen Holden
The New York Times

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

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

Part One, at least, is a French "Bonnie and Clyde."Full Review

Kirk Honeycutt
The Hollywood Reporter

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
