The World Is Yours

This is a really bad movie. I sincerely cannot understand why somebody created this film. Bad scenario, bad acting, plot without connection. It could be a comedy, but it is not, it could be an adventure, but it is not, it could be a gangster-film, but it is not. Apparently it turns out to be nothing. It is actually a mircale that Vincent Cassel accepted to participate in this film. The movie is full with cliche and bad humour. I would expect something more from the director Romain Gavras. I said he is the son of Costas Gavras, let's give him another chance after Athena. Nope, bad choice again.

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?"!

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.

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.

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.
