STILL MOST WANTED
Inspired by the life of France’s most notorious criminal, 'Mesrine: Killer Instinct' charts the rise and fall of the utterly ruthless gangster Jacques Mesrine. The film follows the incredible series of hold ups, prison breaks, and kidnappings throughout the 60s and 70s that ended with his spectacular death - shot down in a hail of police bullets.
The film introduces us to Jacques Mesrine (Vincent Cassel), a loyal son and dedicated soldier back home and living with his parents after serving in the Algerian War. Handsome and charming, he is soon seduced by the neon glamour of Sixties Paris and the easy money it presents. Mentored by Guido (Gerard Depardieu) Mesrine soon moves swiftly up the criminal ladder, choosing the high risk life of a gangster over the honest life of the hard working family. After pulling of an audacious heist he and his lover Jeanne (Cecile de France), flee to Canada where the opportunity of one big payout lures him out of hiding and propels him towards international notoriety.
The film is in cinemas from August 7 2009, but Xfm has 20 PAIRS of tickets to an exclusive screening in Central London on Tuesday August 4 at 6.30pm! All you have to do to be in with a chance of winning is answer the easy question below and fill in your details.
Winners must be aged 15 and over.
