Genre Drama, Gangster, Action
Studio Senator Films
Written by Abdel Raouf Dafri
About Story of Jacques Mesrine, a former military man who rose from the streets to become France’s biggest criminal during the 1970s. Part one of a two part story.
My 5 cents Considering most French films that get released in the states are romantic comedies, I for one am glad to see the French take on a gangster flick. Director Richet has done an action/thriller for the states before with the remake of Assault on Precinct 13, and like it has a attracted another very established and acclaimed cast. Australia's got Chopper, the Brits have Sexy Beast, and this hopefully should be France’s answer.
Recommendation With a like able cast and intriguing storyline I feel the film has a chance to do well stateside, but exactly where and when is the question so for now play the short, but don’t forget it.
