Vincent Cassel Gerard Depardieu

What an absolute gem of a film...this is easily the best film of the summer. The performances by everyone involved are truly award deserving ...Depardieu is outstanding and Cassel is mesrine. Amazing...really great film. On par with any of the great gangster classics...will be buying this on DVD for sure. This film really fills the gap that hollywood left open IMO. It shows that great stories still exist and that it doesn't take 20th century fox or Warrner to tell them...

Re: Mesrine: The Killer Instinct

^the trailer looks outstanding, makes other movies that were recently released look amateurish.

Re: Mesrine: The Killer Instinct

this one is a bomb, really really excellent

Re: Mesrine: The Killer Instinct

had a chance to watch the second part...and oh my god! Its actually better than the first one ...the director did an amazing job! SO suspenseful! Even though you know the ending he has you on the edge of your seat. A seriously amazing piece of work. I am buying this film that is for sure!

Re: Mesrine: The Killer Instinct

I've been wanting to see this. Vincent Cassell is one of the more interesting French actors who deserves a lot more attention than he's getting. Wasn't a big fan of Irreversible when I first saw it, but admired his performance. Really enjoyed him in La Haine, The Crimson Rivers, and Doberman, the last being a bit of a guilty pleasure.

Re: Mesrine: The Killer Instinct

Thanks for heads up. This film looks great. I will definitely be screening this in the near future.

guilty in what way??? doberman is top in its genre

• and may be alone in the genre too;)

Re: Mesrine: The Killer Instinct

Doberman is a wee bit over the top. I like it, there's some absolutely brilliant moments and shots in it, but there's something uniquely, quirkily French about it in a goofy kind of way.

Re: Mesrine: The Killer Instinct

i just came across these two flicks, going to try and watch both within the next couple of days, looks excellent.

Re: Mesrine: The Killer Instinct

part one down, part two hopefully tonight.

Re: Mesrine: The Killer Instinct

watched part two last night. very suspenseful action movie, especially the end, i enjoyed it. great job portraying this guy, i never have heard of this guy or knew he was such a badass before this. this guy didnt give a shit about anyone.

Re: Mesrine: The Killer Instinct

Where are you guys getting ahold of this on DVD?? No dice on this one through Netflix :(

Re: Mesrine: The Killer Instinct

Checked this out at our art house theatre staple here in Toronto and quite liked it. I was very surprised at the Canadian connection that he had with the FLQ. Reminded me a lot of Scarface, but done with a uniquely French viewpoint.
