6/28 - MESRINE



The second part of the incredible true story of French gangster Jacques Mesrine, Mesrine: Public Enemy No. 1 may not be quite as astonishing as its predecessor Mesrine: Killer Instinct, screened at Cornerhouse earlier this month, but it’s still a great film that knocks most recent Hollywood gangster films, specifically Public Enemies, into a cocked hat. Now back in his native France after his spectacular crime spree in Canada, Mesrine (Vincent Cassel) is finally in police custody and facing justice for his crimes. Yet, astonishingly, he once again manages to escape from the very heart of the justice system, breaking out of the courtroom where he’s on trial and taking a judge hostage for good measure! Declared Public Enemy Number One, something of an achievement so far as the publicity-savvy Mesrine is concerned, the gangster finds himself pitted against his most implacable pursuer to date, Commander Broussard (Olivier Gourmet).
