My Review-
This is the final part of the Jacques Mesrine tale. I rather like Part I than this last part, in this part though is more about his prison escapes and his final years as a notorious gangster in France. Once again Vincent Cassel is amazing in the title role of Mesrine. Even though i liked Part I more than Part II there are some things that worked well in this final part. For one the supporting cast was really well acted by the actors that were chosen, and I think that it is a good thing that this film was in its native language of French rather then trying to Americanize it and have the film dubbed. without giving any way i suggest that this movie be viewed so that, your own opinion can be made on which Part you prefer Part I or II. All in all the last 30 mins were the best for me but seeing is how it would not have worked as one whole movie it was a good choice to make it into two parts, each part vastly different than the other. I did enjoy this film and will recommenced to others so that they can view it and have their own take on it.
