Inspired by the life of France’s most notorious criminal, Mesrine: Killer Instinct, charts the rise and fall of the often marvelled, yet utterly ruthless gangster Jacques Mesrine. This epic film follows the incredible series of hold ups, prison breaks, and kidnappings throughout the 60s and 70s across several continents, assuming multiple disguises and identities which won Mesrine the title “The Man With 1000 Faces”. Thirty years since his spectacular death, shot down in a hail of police bullets, the Cesar-winning team of writer/director Jean-Francois Richet and star Vincent Cassel bring to the big screen the story of the man behind the legend.
