Better enemy of the accurate

Everyone will prefer the two films made in 2008, starring Vincent Cassel, no doubt about it. But, this film is good for me. Nicolas Silberg is more Mesrine than Mesrine himself, with a deep voice, - a voice which Mesrine did not have !!!! Mesrine - if you listen to the tapes he recorded before his death - had a thin voice, not a gangster's voice but a simple blue collar worker waking up each morning to go to work. Every one's voice. That's the irony. But choosing an actor with a thin voice would not have been believable. Even Vincent Cassel playing Mesrine did not have a thin voice, but a deep voice. That's the proof that reality is always more incredible than fiction. But also more boring and more horrible too. Never forget that. To summarize, excellent performance, from Nicolas Silberg, who had a voice which matched his character and physique. Unlike Mesrine himself !!!! ha ha ha
