Die Welt gehört dir

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

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?"!

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.

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.

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
