Synopsis

Watch: L’Instinct de mort 2008 123movies, Full Movie Online – Mesrine: Killer Instinct — the first of two parts — charts the outlaw odyssey of Jacques Mesrine (Vincent Cassel), the legendary French gangster of the 1960s and 1970s who came to be known as French Public Enemy No. 1 and The Man of a Thousand Faces. Infamous for his bravado and outrageously daring prison escapes, Mesrine carried out numerous robberies, kidnappings and murders in a criminal career that spanned continents until he was shot dead in 1979 by France’s notorious anti-gang unit. Thirty years after his death, his infamy lives on. Mesrine was helped along the way by beautiful and equally reckless Jeanne Schneider (Cécile de France), a Bonnie to match his Clyde. Mesrine made up his own epic, between romanticism and cruelty, flamboyance and tragedy..
Plot: Jacques Mesrine, a loyal son and dedicated soldier, is back home and living with his parents after serving in the Algerian War. Soon he is seduced by the neon glamour of sixties Paris and the easy money it presents. Mentored by Guido, Mesrine turns his back on middle class law-abiding and soon moves swiftly up the criminal ladder.

A killer biopic
How do you recover from an American project that was received with mixed reactions to say the least (that would be the Assault on Precinct 13 remake)? Easy: go back to your home country (in this case France) and devote time to your real passion project, the one that can give you bona fide director credentials. That’s exactly what Jean-François Richet did with Death Instinct, the remarkable first part in a two-movie story about famous French criminal Jacques Mesrine.

Like most other biopics, the film opens with the protagonist’s death, and what a spectacular demise that is: gunned down by unidentified shooters in the middle of a crowded Parisian street. The story then flashes back to the early ’60s, when Jacques (Vincent Cassel) returns home after a harrowing tour of duty in Algeria. Looking for work, he learns an old friend of his earns money on the side by carrying out certain “assignments” for a heavyweight (pun not intended) criminal known as Guido (Gérard Depardieu). At first, it’s all fun and games, exotic holidays and beautiful women. Then, once Jacques gets married, his wife isn’t quite happy with his lifestyle. The thing ends badly, and Mesrine continues his illegal career, toughening up after Guido is brutally murdered. Thus begins his successful series of bank robberies and scams that quickly lead him to becoming the most wanted man in France and prompt his brief stay in Canada. Even there, however, he just can’s stay away from trouble.

Richet is certainly no Michael Mann (an obvious reference when it comes to the robbery scenes), but he tells the story with gusto and precision, staging the tale as if it were a traditional gangster movie: taste of power, discovery of the unpleasant consequences, fight until the end to reach the top. He deals with an impressive amount of material (and this is just Part One) and handles it so that even the merely explicative bits feel tense and exciting. From start to finish, Killer Instinct moves at a reasonably quick pace, asking the viewer for commitment and endurance, and deservedly so: it’s one hell of a thrilling ride.

If one has to complain, it should be noted that the psychology of certain characters is a bit sketchy (Guido is really nothing more than the average gangster type), but that flaw is generally compensated by very solid acting. The most effective (and terrifying turn) is of course the one coming from Cassel, who was everyone’s first and only choice for the leading role, according to cast and crew statements. Returning to the more troubled side that has been left pretty much unexplored since La Haine, he digs into Mesrine’s dark psyche and re-emerges with a complex, chilling part that makes him deserving of the his widespread reputation as one of France’s best young thespians.

As for the deliberately open ending, the final captions are clever but a bit smug: after revealing the fate of characters who won’t return in the follow-up, the title card says “As for Jacques Mesrine… End of the first part”. As if we didn’t know that already.

Real story of a gangster !!!
It is a good movie based on French gangster cum Robin hood ( a kind of) Jacques Mesrine, who was also called of Public Enemy No. 1 and man of a thousand faces then. The story tells you that how a common man turns into notorious goon and then as a infamous gangster. Circumstances made him to be a thief, robber, kidnapper and killer. Scenes like between Jacques and his parents, with his wife and kids are emotional and make you to feel sympathy to him surely. Torture in prison also made him stone hearted. But he has a brave heart also to his women and one thing that he did not ever kill anyone without it was not much necessarily. Even a real tale movie will not bore you and you will definitely be waiting for second part. As me it is must watchable saga of a gangster. Coincidently I just watch ‘Sacred Games’ , an Indian web series which is similar to such subject. But it is too behind from such good movie, no comparison can be done when two are totally different quality. Both have implicit scenes but here you will not feel vulgarity whereas in Sacred Games you find yourself in a intentionally made uncomfortable situation. Any way I suggest this movie to thriller lovers especially who likes criminals biography. Well played roll.
