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.

Caper con
Like a French version of "Lock, Stock," but far superior.
I watched this 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.
Share the world
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
