The World Is Yours

A decent French gangster film about drug dealers with an excellent Isabelle Adjani, and Vincent Cassel is also good, even if only in a supporting role. The main character was a bit ulikeable because of how stupid he was and his mistake put him in an unpleasant situation, but I have to admit that the final fuck up with the viewer is impressive and very unexpected. I didn't find it very funny, but it is definitely an entertaining and film and Oulaya Amamra is a babe! 70% (10/24/2019)

The World is Yours is an entertaining French gangster flick mostly set in the Spanish resort town of Benidorm, which with its trashy urban character and beach vibe lends itself to confrontations among a diverse group of criminals. The film features the well-cast Karim Leklou as a battered small-time crook and the striking Isabelle Adjani as his manipulative mother with the rank of alpha criminal. Vincent Cassel’s character is surprisingly underdeveloped, but the British mobster played by Sam Spruell is delicious in his few appearances. The film gets its sense of drive from the characters and their interesting stylization. The plot can be summed up in a single sentence and it isn’t nearly as sophisticated or briskly conveyed as we are used to from Guy Ritchie. (10/23/2023)

Interesting insight into the bizarre world of French drug gangs. Most of the characters in the film are either total lunatics or totally drugged lunatics. Almost everyone wears disgusting football jerseys and even goes to drug deals in shorts and sandals. I went to see the film mainly because of Vincent Cassel - he is always a guarantee of quality - but also because of Isabelle Adjani, whom I hadn't seen in anything for a long time. The latter has a strange role in the film as an unsympathetic and calculating mother, which didn't really entertain me. In contrast, Cassel steals the whole film for himself - although he only appears in a supporting role here, his character is the most entertaining in the whole film. I also enjoyed the British gangster played by Sam Spruell, whose worst fears eventually catch up with him, hehe. Overall, this is a very crazy comedy, which, thanks to its pace, doesn't have much time to bore you and will easily entertain you in the space of 94 minutes. It's nothing groundbreaking, but it's worth seeing. (07/07/2018)
