Un film de gangster (A gangster movie)
This is a biopic on Jacques Mesrine a french gangster who made public enemy number 1, in France, in his heyday. Never heard of this dude before but he's legit.
This is a gangster movie where the bad guy doesn't die or go to jail in the end. At least not in this movie, which is part1. He has been called the french John Dillinger by some. Mesrine was thieving conniving, murderous motherfucker. One scene where Jacques and his homie, who put him on, were robbing a house and the owners came.
My favorite scene:
It was an old couple. They came in on these dudes who crow barred the door open and were in the process of stealing gold, guns, and some mo shit.
A thief will kill when they think they are about to get caught. In the middle of a robbery Jacques homie thought they were done for and I took it he was about to start busting his heat and/or beating this old couple to death. Jacques was cool headed and a quick thinker. They weren't dressed like thieves they were actually business casual. Once the couple came in the door they seen the Jacques by their safe with a bag, unbeknownst to them to be full of their shit. They were shocked and the window of opportunity was only open for a few seconds.. Jacques told them he was the police, a detective a that, and they had just been robbed. His partner came down with a bag, full of their shit as well. Jacques asked him if he collected all the evidence and fingerprints and if he was ready. His partner said yes and Jacques bounced with their shit right in front of them and told them to call the such and such precinct tomorrow after they went over all the evidence and walked out with their shit in front of them. I though that was a player move on the fly.
Homie was robbing banks, killing, macking new breezies up in his travels. Jacques went to prison got treated fucked up in their. He broke out of prison. Tried to come back a help his partners who helped him break out. He was a raw frenchman.
Oh yeah its subtitled and in French. There was a dubbed in english version on the disc, but I only like watching my karate flicks like that and didn't want it to lose its essence. Good movie though
My rating
4/5
