A brash and jubilant Guy Ritchie-style crime caper. Go to Full Review

A lot of good clean fun - but maybe not much more than that. Go to Full Review
Elisabeth Vincentelli New York Times 12/11/2018
The young director Romain Gavras does not reinvent the comic caper in the French film "The World Is Yours," but he revitalizes that genre with pop verve, goofy humor and visual sophistication. Go to Full Review

It all adds up to a colourful, enjoyably chaotic story of a group of less-than-capable crooks. Go to Full Review

T T 03/06/2023 Loved this French movie. It was very entertaining from the beginning till the end. The acting was good and the storyline was decent. I laughed a few times, especially in the beginning. Overall, it's a fun and enjoyable movie. See more 01/18/2023 French Guy Ritchie style movie, once you get into it the movie is a fun watch although not as good as Guy Ritchie movies. See more 07/15/2021 pelicula entretenida y rara a la vez 6/10 See more 02/11/2021 Great fun in this French mishmash of Guy Ritchie/Quentin Tarantino meets present day France; Adjani is unmatched as the smarter than most self-interested mother See more 07/10/2020 This is the first movie review I am writing, so I hope to get it right. I have found this movie entertaining and absolutely loved Isabelle Adjani's performance; however, I felt uncomfortable with the roles of women in this story and this seems to be becoming a trend with recent French movies (or maybe I was just unlucky with my recent picks, I'll leave it to the consideration of other female viewers to either confirm or refute). This is the story of a conman who is constantly upstaged by his mother and after having her saving his neck in one last coup, decides to mercilessly abandon her to the police. He is also desperately in love with a cunning young woman, to whom he offers cash to have sex with (it could have been camels, but times have changed) and this is supposed to be the pillar of a solid relationship, as we are left to believe, by the end of the movie. Overall, I wasn't pleased with the take on women in this movie, whom the main character perceives and treats as something you can buy, use and dispose of and I wished for a better ending for a strong, funny character such as Danny. See more 04/15/2020 A sweet, endearing and fun caper movie full of edge-of-your seat twists and turns that depicts the coming of age of a young man from a petty criminal family who simply wants to go straight and live a quiet life with the girl of his dreams. All in all, a clever "who dun it!" A must watch film by the talented son of legendary Greek Costas-Gavras, famed director of "Z" and "missing". See more Read all reviews
