Plot Summary
In the climactic second part of the the Mesrine saga, Jacques Mesrine is back in France after his brazen assault on the maximum-security prison from which he daringly escaped. Once again in police custody and facing stern justice for his crimes, the "man of a thousand faces" escapes directly from the courtroom after kidnapping the judge at gunpoint. As Mesrine continues to author his own legend through the media and his own memoirs, he becomes a household name and anti-hero across all of France. As he plans his last and greatest escape, leaving France – and the iconic character he has created for himself - behind, the police begin to close in and his monumental rise begins to shadow the inevitable fall. The life of Jacques Mesrine comes once and for all to a full bloody circle in a climax only fitting for Public Enemy #1.

MOVIE IS AMAZING!! Don
Part II of Mesrine is just as amazing as the first except now Jacques has experience and the means to continue his crime spree throughout the country. Vincent Cassel is amazing in this role, he completely transformed himself for this role. Probably one of the greatest "gangster" crime movies ever made, right up there with Casino and Goodfellas. Also if you haven't seen the first one, it is a MUST, not because you will be lost, but because the first is just as good. I personally consider both to be one long movie, and it is amazing from start to finish.
Awesome acting!
European cinema at its best! Cassel is a great actor and we would love to see more of him on this side of the pond. A must see even for people like me who don't like violent movies. I couldn't wait to see the #2 movie after I watched the first one. A great evening guaranteed!
Great set of movies. Took too damn long to be offered in the US though
Incredible. See for yourself, fun watching a real life story of a charming fearless man become public enemy #1.
