Following in the footsteps of the two-part Vincent Cassel biopic of notorious French gangster Jacques Mesrine another iconic criminal, Carlos the Jackal, has been given the big screen treatment and Empire have exclusively revealed the UK quad.

Carlos stars Edgar Ramirez in the title role (he appeared in both Che: Part One and The Bourne Ultimatum) and the film makes its UK debut at the London Film Festival, having been edited down to a three hour movie (it begun life as a five and a half hours TV mini-series).

Personally, I prefer this fantastic 70’s inspired poster for the film, which was used for festival promotions.

Carlos is on limited release in the UK from October 22.
