The World Is Yours

Watched this on a guardian recommendation. It's a passable caper tale that are a dime a dozen now. Nothing very innovative and it AIMS low and more often than not hits the target. Watch only if you have nothing better to do.

Great talents here. You understand this shifty crazy world of la racaille française.

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.

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.

Loved this from start to finish. Wonderful to see a film with a great original story and an amazing cast. Faultless - go and see it
