Bogie56 Posted July 17, 2019 Author Share Posted July 17, 2019 My top FF of 2008 was Mesrine directed by Jean-Francois Richet. It is really two two-hour films both released in 2008: Mesrine: Killer Instinct and Mesrine: Public Enemy #1. Vincent Cassel is excellent in the title role as Jacques Mesrine the real-life ruthless gangster who begins his robbery career in France then ends up in Canada. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
