Why don't you judge it for yourself?

Did anyone see Boy A? What did you think of that, very loosely based premise of the Bulger murder and makes you think, though the ending was a cop out though.

Did anyone see Mesrine Killer instinct on FX. ( second part this weekend) Mesrine started as a young soldier in Algeria and basically ended up in a torture unit. Leaves the army and joins up with some gangsters in paris in the late 50s early 60s.

Absolute psycho happy to rob or knock anyone off.

Goes to Quebec and joins the liberation front, robs and murders a lot of people escapes from prison. Then goes back to break out the other prisoners and offs five guards then heads back to France.
A true story about a french gangster who makes the Krays etc look like schoolboys.


Vincent Cassel plays Mesrine has to be one of the best actors around.

Superb if you missed it try and catch up with it some time

Saw it about a year ago and absolutely loved it. The length of of the whole thing and subtitles might put a few people off? Cassel was absolutely brilliant in it.

Do you mean films that are an ongoing puzzle? If so try these:

Try these:

eXsitenZ
Dark City
Total Recall
Twelve Monkeys
Primer (you'll need to watch this more than once to feel that you've satisfactorily got it)
Ghost In The Shell (Japanese animation but don't let that put you of because it has big ideas and the squel is every better)
Timecrimes (Spanish)
The Ninth Configuration (dated a bit this)
Strange Days (sort of)
Vertigo (not sci-fi though lol)

Some horror which all contain plenty of gore but are similar (none of them are an easy watch)
Triangle
Switchblade Romance
Inside
Martyrs

I'd add Minority Report, Cypher and Paycheck to that list. Paycheck isn't really anything special but falls in with the sci-fi mystery type genre.
