Mesrine: Killer Instinct
Mesrine: Killer Instinct -- the first of two parts -- charts the outlaw odyssey of Jacques Mesrine (Vincent Cassel - Doberman, Pact De Loups), 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 (Cecile de France), a Bonnie to match his Clyde. Mesrine made up his own epic, between romanticism and cruelty, flamboyance and tragedy.

Event Plan
Showtime is 7.20pm. If you'd like to have a bite before the show, meet me at the Sundance Kitchen right next door from the theater starting 6pm. Non diners, meet us @ 7pm at the box office of the theater.

Gather outside the theater after the show to decide if/where we'll be going for a drink.

If the mid-peninsula is more convenient for you, or you can't do Thursday, the Palo Alto Independent Films Group is seeing this one the day before (9/1).

Hope to see you all there!!

  "Fantastic movie! The best gangster movie since "Goodfellas." Vincent Cassel's performance is amazing -- you can't take your eyes off him. You're going to enjoy it... :-)"
