Vincent Cassel plays tough guy, number gangster Mesrine who leaves Algeria and returns home to France to embrace the life of crime and easy money. He travels to Spain, meets his wife Sofia (beautiful Spanish teeth), then returns to France to pick up where he left off. He does a few quick prison sentences before moving to Quebec with Cecile de France (Beautiful French teeth). They end up in maximum security prisons but Mesrine just can't be held and escapes with his buddy in crime only to come back to attempt to free all the inmates.
Well done, moves quickly, familiar faces and pretty ones too. It's a good thing to stream from Netflix.
