在这部头号公敌剧情/动作/惊悚/传记/犯罪片中,雅克·梅斯林是70年代末期法国著名的大盗，曾犯下多起持械抢劫和杀人案，也是有名的越狱犯。他善于伪装自己，曾以不同的面貌混迹人群，人称“千面大盗”。他在18个月的血腥逃亡之后，1979年11月2日在巴黎克利尼扬古尔门（PORTE DE CLIGNANCOURT）被特警队击毙。本片叙述梅斯林早期的经历，从1959年阿尔及利亚战争开始，当时梅斯林在战场上服役，这段经历标志了他“天真时期的结束”，使他成为一个“无政府主义者和对现状不满的人”。影片的下集《头号公敌》（MESRINE：L’ENNEMI PUBLIC No.1）将于11月19日上映。限制级。
Mesrine: Killer Instinct -- the first of two parts -- charts the outlaw odyssey of Jacques Mesrine (Vincent Cassel), the legendary French gangster of the 1960s and 1970s who came to be known as French Public Enemy No. 1 and The Man of a Thousand Faces. Infamous for his bravado and outrageously daring prison escapes, Mesrine carried out numerous robberies, kidnappings and murders in a criminal career that spanned continents until he was shot dead in 1979 by France's notorious anti-gang unit. Thirty years after his death, his infamy lives on. Mesrine was helped along the way by beautiful and equally reckless Jeanne Schneider (Cécile de France), a Bonnie to match his Clyde. Mesrine made up his own epic, between romanticism and cruelty, flamboyance and tragedy.
Slick, Modern, Cool。任何你开始做的事情已经变成为了你本能的一部分。Mesrine究竟是怎样的人？。绝对限制级。头号公敌：犯禁的快感。坏蛋是怎样炼成的。《头号公敌1-死亡本能》：半部好电影。又一个传奇人物的故事。《梅斯林，死亡本能》。很黑很暴力。
