    Better than the original 1976 movie and a new believable change of plot.

    Better than the original 1976 movie this 2004 remake has a very believable change of plot, which works very well.

    Ethan Hawke & Lawrence Fishburn take the starring roles in this drama.

    Gabriel Byrne plays the baddy (as usual) but is not really as convincing as he is in other films.

    A film, which will pass a few hours while you watch it.

    Massively disappointing

    A great cast and strong basic idea (although diluted from the faceless gang attack of the classic original) are completely wasted in this by the numbers formula cop flick. The suspense and tension of the original are thrown away here, with a bland series of dull, poorly shot shootings that feel like they belong in a TV movie. I was really hoping this was going to be in a similar league to the 'Dawn of the Dead' remake (another re-run of a cult 70's classic that really worked), but it's not anything like that standard, and just feels bland and tacky. A real wasted opportunity instead.

Mesrine was a renowned robber who specialised in cunning heists, elaborate disguises and womanising. Cassel's most recent role came in Ocean's Twelve, and he will again return to the shady world of crime in the films Death Instinct and Public Enemy Number One. The films are to be directed by Jean-Francois Richet, who this year made the Assault On Precinct 13 re-make, which starred Ja Rule,... Read more
