Director Antonia Bird has triumphed where so many have failed since "The Long Good Friday", with a British crime thriller that actually works.

A assembled cast of Japan's coolest actors in a hyperstylish tale of 5 desperate men from the robbery of a Yakuza gangster to the bloody revenge that follows.

An eccentric film noir atmosphere that will blow your socks off. Well crafted and intense. find out more...

A crackingly realised biog of a man who relentlessly dodged death with a cocky ambivalence that frankly defies credulity. 'Mesrine' is stylishly shot, smoothly directed and perfectly, charmingly, sociopathically performed by Cassell.

This first film takes us from his brutal initiation as a soldier during the horrors of Algeria's fight for liberation to the end of the 1960s via France and French Canada. find out more...

The last few years of Mesrine's life sees him starting to enjoy the fruits of his thievery but this is now a man tortured by his infamy; increasingly, egotistically consumed by his own invincibility. Mesrine part 2 is an odd film in the sense that it feels like half an hour of story dragged out to a feature length running time; Cassel still makes a crackingly charming psychopath mind find out more...
