Title: The World Is Yours (2018)
"The World Is Yours" is a 2018 French film directed by Romain Gavras. The movie is a satirical funny and criminal activity caper, which showcases an unanticipated mix of slapstick humor, high-energy antiques and some psychological depth.

Plot
The story follows Farès (Karim Leklou), a small-time drug dealer, who wishes to carry on from his life filled with crime for a genuine service endeavor - offering ice in Morocco. Nevertheless, his mom, Danny (Isabelle Adjani), a compulsive bettor, misuses away all of his savings. Danny is accompanied by her extravagant sweetheart and self-proclaimed life coach named Rémy (Vincent Cassel).

To recover his monetary losses, Farès reluctantly partners with his youth pal Henri (Sam Spruell), a courageous yet dim-witted crook, for a heist in Spain. The plan is to smuggle a significant shipment of cannabis throughout the border, using unwary tourists as carriers. Concurrently, Farès begins establishing sensations for a Moroccan female, Lamya (Oulaya Amamra), who may or might not be associated with the criminal underworld herself.

Characters
Each character in the motion picture is remarkably personified and brings out the essence of the story. Farès represents a male wanting to release his criminal past and see the prospective beyond criminal activity. Danny, his mother, represents the destructive force that holds him back. Rémy and Henri provide the comical absurdity of the criminal universe, while Lamya represents the romantic connection, the intimacy, and the psychological complexity that Farès faces in his mission for a better life.

Director's Vision
Director Romain Gavras injects the movie with his distinct blend of visual style and narrative flair. Each frame is filled with colors, specifically reds and golds, adding a lively, brilliant background for the characters' elaborate lives. Gavras' energetic direction flawlessly blends its various genre aspects, making "The World Is Yours" as much a trendy crime caper as a poignant character study.

Conclusion
The movie has an ending that is neither terrible nor entirely happy, reflecting the unpredictable, high-risk nature of the criminal world farés comes from. His life is in limbo due to his criminal entanglements, but he's pursuing a legitimate living that seems just out of reach. By the end, it's unclear if Farès will ever have the ability to escape the cycle, which resonates with the lives of anybody caught up in systemic crime.

"The World Is Yours" is an unexpected reward, offering an uncommon mix of crime, comedy, love, and social commentary. It explores the unfair socio-economic structures that create crooks like Farès and the undetectable chains that hold them, even when they strive for better. In this sense, the film's title, "The World Is Yours", is revealed to be both a satirical joke and an authentic hope.
