All in all, i highly
enjoyable and competent work from Richet, he truly captured Mesrine
animal like charisma, his rebellious and determined character, his
savagery and his sense of humor. Cassel did a amazing job as well, he's
so impressive, funny and scary, idealist and cynical, he really brings
it all on screen. One really as to salute Richet's accomplishment here,
the pressure on him was huge, Mesrine is truly France's "Scarface" (only
here it's for real !), known by all and fascinating as hell, i mean the
guy was a superstar, a media freak who wonderfully played with the
media to get some kind of support from the population and ridicule the
system and the government, and he almost reached his goals! Now i just
cant wait for the BR to arrive, so i can watch both movies consecutively
and confirm my first impression, which is that Richet has done
something huge, exiting and impressive, un coup de maître if you will !
