Killer Instinct
French thriller based on the true story of gangster Jacques Mesrine (Vincent Cassel), who gained notoriety in the 60s and 70s for his criminal behaviour.
After acquiring his first taste for brutality as a French soldier serving in Algeria in the late 1950s, young Jacques returns to France, where his father has fixed him up with a regular job. But the legit lifestyle doesn't stick and Mesrine soon finds himself embroiled in the criminal underworld of local mobster Guido. Following a fraught marriage to a young Spanish woman, Mesrine acquires a new female partner in crime and delves deeper into trouble with a series of reckless armed robberies, a bizarre kidnapping and a daring jailbreak from a high security prison in Quebec.
In French with English subtitles.
