Our Pick for the SF International Festival.
This two-fisted, two-part epic charts the remarkable 20-year crime spree of Jacques Mesrine, France's public enemy number one.

Mesrine: Part One charts the notorious criminal's stint in Algeria and his awakening to his hunger for power and violence. Returning home, Mesrine takes to the role of gangster like he was born to it in Richet's white-knuckle thriller.
In Mesrine: Part Two the criminal's celebrity only increases as a gangster, would-be revolutionary and megalomaniacal media hound. Both exciting and historically meticulous, Mesrine is a fitting tribute for this celebrity criminal.
