Re: Mesrine

Yeah - I got the UK DVD (I'd rather get the blu-ray, but I don't have an all-region blu-ray player like I do an all-region dvd player) and it's packaged exactly the same, only in the taller, standard dvd package size and no blue strip on the top.

I watched the first part - a fantastic, if slightly cliched, crime film. I can't wait to watch the second part.

Thanks for the heads up!

I have a Region-Free BD Player, but I wasn't too keen on the packaging for the UK Mesrine and it's a little pricey on BD right now.

Might have to wait it out or opt for the UK DVD.

Re: Mesrine

It pretty much is two movie, and each part has a solid 45-minute making-of, so if you think of it as two dvds/blu-rays (which it is) instead of just one, it's not too bad a deal.

That's true

I'll probably hold off, since there are a handful of UK DVD's/BD's I want to throw on my order.

Re: Mesrine

Just watched the 2nd part - really enjoyed it again. Not as strong as the first part, but still pretty damn good.

I liked Mesrine way better than the other recent bio-pic, which is also about a scandalous foreign man with facial hair that took place during the '60s and '70s over the course of two films.

This was great, I watched both parts on Netflix streaming over the last day.

Re: Mesrine

This movie, both parts, is worth every cent you pay. Either the DVD or renting/streaming.

Gotta find some time to watch this - been sitting on the French BD for a while now.
