Le monde est à toi

Someone here compared this to "Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels" and mentioned some of my other favorite movies and directors. This only confirms my suspicion that there are shill reviewers on IMDB. The only reasonable mention of those others in the same paragraph as this film is to say "The World is Yours" shows poor screenwriting, and those others are examples of how it _should_ be done. I'm and hour in and the action is yet to start. ...and now I've endured the entire thing and can accurately say it just blows. Save yourself the 90 minutes and watch a plant grow instead; you'll be just as bored but at least you won't be asking "why?"!

Make it a better place, for and for me ... oh wait, I got sidetracked. But that happens when I see a title like "the world is yours", I just have to take it apart. Something that you also can do with this movie, if you are not feeling it. But if that is the case you are letting yourself down and are going to miss on a bit of fun you could have had.

This is a crime movie as is apparent and characters may not all be likeable (understatement I know), but it also has heart and family issues in it. Not to mention a lot of characters and a lot of strings that need to be tied up by the end. Depending your threshold and your attention span and interest in this in general, you will find it either amusing or rather annoying. Still well made, with some over the top characters (again with the understatement) and quite some fun to watch

Nice and quite funny movie about a very disorganized gang of drug dealers. It could have been a stupid comedy, but instead it's a good film to watch even if here and there it has some stupidity and plot hole.

I watched this again as soon as it was over. The sub-titles come fast and hard, and you have to be able and willing to keep up. It's worth it.

"The World Is Yours" is exactly what you might think: a throwback to the movies and ideology of Tony Montana. This is the corollary for the generations whose parents worshiped "Scarface," and had kids that made movies about it, dreamt about it, lived it.

Imagine "Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels" crossed with De Palma and Tarantino and Rodriguez, along with every stylized, twisted music score you could imagine. Then make it French.

This is that film.

Overall, I would rate this film a 8/10. The character development and focus on telling a deeper meaning are what make this such a great film. Learning to escape the cycle of bad habits is not an easy one. Francois is a prime example of what it means to start over. Sometimes it is not always about the journey, but what is the outcome of your decisions. The emphasis on character development is shown a lot throughout the film. From dealing with a rocky relationship with his mother, to being in the drug scene, Francois has multiple breakdowns throughout the film. However, with the help of Lamya, his world is flipped upside down.

The director, Roman Gavras tells the story of the couple who beat all odds and made a life for themselves. However, it may not be a life full of opportunity. The film takes place in Africa in the Magreb region.

Awards for this movie include :Best Supporting Actress for Isabelle Adjani and Most Promising Actor for Karim Leklou. There are no awards for the film as a whole.

In the end, I would highly recommend this film. I would recommend this film to anyone 18 and up. Since this film deals with the idea of drugs and crime is why I would say 18 and up. However, the story between the mother and son hardships can display a good lesson for the younger generation.
