After escaping a courtroom and kidnapping the judge at gunpoint, Mesrine is declared Public Enemy Number 1 and is eventually condemned to a maximum-security prison where he writes his memoirs, establishing himself as a household name and the anti-hero across France. Mesrine stages another daring escape and disappears into the lawless underworld, taunting the police and reinventing himself as a celebrity criminal through his savvy manipulation of the media. After such a monumental rise, comes the inevitable fall as the police close in, bringing the life of Jacques Mesrine to full bloody circle.(The first part of the biopic\u00a0MESRINE: KILLER INSTINCT, is also available on COLCOA VIRTUAL CINEMA)<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.musicboxdirect.com\/films\/mesrine-public-enemy\/5c096d5bdf86e3148e006592\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Watch Now<\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MESRINE: PUBLIC ENEMY #1 | 2010 &#8211; 113&#8242; &#8211;\u00a0\u00a0Thriller \/ Biopic \/ Drama \/ Crime -, Written by\u00a0Abdel Raouf Dafri,\u00a0Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Richet Directed\u00a0by\u00a0Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Richet.
