    Exciting French gangster film.
  • September 10, 2009
    I thought this was absolutely fantastic and, in my opinion, even better than part 1. Even though it was just as dark, it didn't seem that way as there was more wit, more humour. And I believe that knowing what was going to happen at the end didn't take any of the tension away, in...( read more) fact I think it increased it.
    Even if you haven't seen Part 1, this is complete enough that it doesn't matter. This doesn't rely on people having to have seen what comes before (although it does make it a better experience).
    I would thorougly recommend both of the Mesrine's as superb, suspensful, action-filled, humourous, genuine gangster films.

    I liked it - maybe not quite as gripping as the first part but still enjoyed it - might have been spoiled slightly by knowing how everything turned out in the end.

    Finalement, après la déception du 1er opus, j'ai préféré le 2nd (bon, pas de très loin non plus...). On retrouve de toutes façons les mêmes défauts que dans L'Instinct de Mort. A noter, le rôle de Gérard Lanvin, qui parvient clairement à être l'un des plus ridiculement comiques d...( read more)u cinéma français! Oh, et sinon, si quelqu'un pouvait m'expliquer pourquoi l'affiche (d'ailleurs très réussie) fait un parallèle entre Mesrine et Jésus, parce que je ne vois pas du tout le rapport (et le film n'a d'ailleurs aucune influence religieuse ni même mystique)...

    Very cool sequel that surpasses the original.
