In a new brace of movies about the life and times of notorious
celebrity gangster Jacques Mesrine, Vincent Cassel has reached the apex
of a formidable career that began with the white hot La Haine, includes
extraordinary work in films as varied as Elisabeth and Irreversible and
even a couple of outings in Steven Soderbergh's Ocean's 12 and 13. He
is without doubt one of the finest actors working today and yes, he is
French.
