Never heard of this Mesrine guy before but I've been watching a lot of crime films recently and thought I'd give this one a go. And yes, it's very good. The trials and tribulations of a career criminal who returns to Paris after the Algerian war. Keeps you engaged all the way through even if it is a bit typically shot. There have been a lot of similar films and series the past 20 years. It's a very good film but recently I have seen some very high standard crime films so it's hard to go above 3.5.
