    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.

    Entertaining but not a mark on the original

    This film should definitely be treated as its own original rather than a remake for full enjoyment. The weight of the cult and classic status of John Carpenter's original cannot be matched and fails to be reworked in this 2005 update. The film on its own merit is reasonably good, but at times the twists are all too predictable and is certainly more of a popcorn movie than movie award contender.

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
