Indeed, his determined answer I rob banks.
Public Enemy No.1fares better.
Free from the whirlwind over-exposition and under-narration, the film relaxes back into Mesrines final feats.
Scenes and characters are given room to breath, especially a tense, spot-on prison break sequence.
No film can faithfully reproduce the complexity of a human life.
Its just a ripping yarn, easily positioned for co-production financing and international acceptance.
That aside, Richet and company play it quite boringly safe.
Nothing too insightful or worth the slog.
