Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Jacques Mesrine was a nasty piece of work: violent bank jobs, vicious kidnappings, numerous guns-blazing prison breaks, all ending in bloodshed.
So how did he become a cult figure in France through the 1960s and 1970s? A clue comes in his portrayal by Vincent Cassel, who turns the amoral gangster into a romantic rogue, pitted against a society that has no place for him. Non-stop action and an impeccable central performance make this a consummately absorbing thriller.
