Mesrine is a two-part 2008 French-Canadian film directed by Jean-François Richet and starring Vincent Cassel. Part One is Known as Killer Instinct (L'instinct de mort in the original French title), while Part Two is known as Public Enemy Number 1 (L'ennemi public n° 1 in the original French title).

Killer Instinct's script was based on the autobiographical book L'instinct de mort by French gangster Jacques Mesrine, and details his rise in the Paris criminal underworld after serving in the army in Algeria. The movie follows his early exploits in Paris, and later in Canada.

Mesrine executes the prisoner. After this event he turns into a murderer, not for the Government but for his own gain. Mesrine has an almost identical pistol upon his arrival back from in Paris, his new one seems to be nickle plated though, not blued like the one in this picture.

His own pistol is turned against him by his new boss, Guido (played by Gérard Depardieu) who lifted it from him when they hugged for the first time. This is the pistol that Mesrine uses throughout most of the rest of the movie.

12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun

At the very end of the movie, in Canada, Mesrine and his new partner Jean-Paul (played by Roy Dupuis) murder two elderly Parks Rangers. Jean-Paul uses a double barrel coachgun. This scene reminds us that after all the robberies, kidnaps and breakouts, they are viscous killers.
