This is part 2 of the biopic of 60s and 70s French gangster, Jacques Mesrine (pronounced May-reen). Amo and I saw Part 1 a couple days ago, and we nearly saw it again today!
It turns out both films were showing at Sundance Kabuki today, and as the first minutes of today's film rolled by, we realized we were sat watching the same Part 1 we'd already seen.
We hot-tailed it into the correct theater, and watched the second half of this excellent story.
While this half was just as tight and suspenseful as the first, just as well acted, it lacked the breakneck speed and non-stop action that kept us so involved the other day.
Vincent Cassel put on 50 pounds to portray Mesrine in his late 30s and 40s, which puts his dedication as well as his acting right up there with De Niro.
