Chicago Sun-Times -
The acting is macho understatement. Mesrine is a character who might have been played years ago by Gerard Depardieu, who appears here as Guido, a bullet-headed impresario of larceny.

The Hollywood Reporter -
Part One, at least, is a French "Bonnie and Clyde."

Empire -
Instantly gripping, with a powerhouse star performance, it'll make you want to speed through the weeks to get to part two.

ReelViews -
As biographical crime thrillers go, Killer Instinct is a worthy entry to the genre, although the incompleteness of the story makes it difficult to evaluate on its own. The movie needs to be seen in the context of a greater whole for it to be fully appreciated.

The Globe and Mail (Toronto) -
While Mesrine: Killer Instinct certainly deserves a place among memorable French gangster films, Richet never delivers a clear theme here, let alone a plot.
