About Jacques Mesrine

  • Jacques Mesrine (French pronunciation: ?[?ak m?s?in]; 28 December 1936 – 2 November 1979) was a French criminal responsible for numerous murders, bank robberies, burglaries, and kidnappings in France, the US, and Canada.
  • Mesrine repeatedly escaped from prison and made international headlines during a final period as a fugitive when his exploits included trying to kidnap the judge who had previously sentenced him.
  • An aptitude for disguise earned him the moniker "The Man of a Thousand Faces" and enabled him to remain at large while receiving massive publicity as a wanted man.
  • Mesrine was widely seen as an anti-establishment 'Robin Hood' figure.
  • In keeping with his charismatic image, he was rarely without a glamorous female companion.
  • A two-part film which came out in 2008 was based on Mesrine's life.
