...three counts of money laundering, false filings with the SEC and theft from an employee benefit plan. The scam's victims included high-profile celebrity names such as actress Kyra Sedgwick, actor Kevin Bacon, director Steven Spielberg, actress Zsa Zsa Gabor, actor John Malkovich, New York Daily News owner Mort Zuckerman and the family trust of DreamWorks CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg, as well as charities, universities, hedge funds, banks and pension funds around the world...

(A 1984 film, Mesrine, told the same story.) His life, at least as related in the prison autobiography that is the movie's source, put him in collusion or collision with all the gangster archetypes: a grizzled crime boss named Guido (Depardieu), a loyal and resourceful henchman (Dupuis), a tough-n-sexy babe (de France) to play Bonnie to his Clyde...
