This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Be prepared for joy ride of bank loot in style. The grossly entertaining piece of French action stars Vincent Cassel in lead role and beautiful Monica Bellucci as his mute partner. The movie has some of the most violent scenes of 90s cinema. But they have been presented in well balanced manner. The psychotic police officer on quest to catch Dobermann and his gang has been amazingly played by Mr. Tchéky Karyo. The way he interrogates a drag and his family about Dobermann is really frightening and some may even find it unethical.Only thing I missed was Monica Bellucci's acting talent (If she has) since was playing a mute. Vincnet Cassel rocked in lead.All in all, a hard to find rare gem of French action cinema.

I'v seen this movie in a Cinema. It's a visual Shock. Kounen break the usual limits of violence and the traditional good/evil opposition. Its allow to have a less foreseeable movie than Hollywood's ones with the big bad guy and the white knight who save save the princess in the end... The movie bring adrenaline and sensations, and that the objective. For information, Tcheky Karyo speak English not because "English is evil" but because it's a style in France to say some words in English. Like the inverse... And it's a stylish movie, for those who doesn't fear violence. A critic have to be objective and it's stupid to destroy a movie like this one when we hate the violent/action style... If you don't like classic music, don't rate Theophilius Amadeo Mozart.

The plot is simple, Dobermann and band of bank robbers are hunted by the police as they plan and execute a robbery. What they don't count on is that a crazed policeman is on their tail and will stop at nothing to stop them. The dialog is witty, the film making flashy, and the violence is brutal. So why don't I like this more? Lets face it this film exists simply to look cool and so the film makers could shoot things. The film looks great and the gunfights and the action sequences are mind blowing, the problem is that despite some witty dialog the film is rather dull when things aren't being blown up. I got to a point where I was reaching for the remote to get to speed to the next bit of action. Thats not a good sign.Should you see this movie? If you like big action sequences with lots of guns blazing, absolutely. You might also want to check this out to see one of the great screen villains as represented by the crazed cop who is hunting the gang. He will stop at nothing to get his man including giving a grenade to a baby.6 out of 10, great action and style takes the place of plot and character development.

'Dobermann' begins with a CGI dog shooting and urinating on peoples names. Next we have a scene where a christening turns into a baby getting his hands on a gun. Cut to a few years later and the criminal known as Dobermann shoots some kind of special bullet that can stop a lorry in its tracks. 'Dobermann' is an over-the-top stylish action gangster film that for once doesn't come from Japan. Dobermann and his posse which include a perverted, deadly priest, his death girlfriend, and a gay transvestite, go to pull of a bank robbery or two. Cue some violent set pieces such as the classic grenade in the motorbike helmet scene, with full head-on explosion. They get away but of course a heist movie can't go smoothly. So the second half of the film concentrates on the cops. The cop in charge happens to be more messed up and violent than the criminals, one of his interrogation methods includes giving a grenade to a baby. The police soon lodge a full on assault at a nightclub that Dobermann is frequenting. The plot is thin, the action fast and ferocious. Nothing quite like death by having your face scraped across the road while hanging out a fast moving car. So what if the plot is thin and the characters aren't really well drawn out? SO what if the film lacks any sense of morality? It's a wild ride not meant to be taken seriously. The direction fits in perfectly with what is going on. The characters, or rather caricatures, are memorable and each has their own memorable characteristic. The nightclub assault is full on action that wont disappoint adrenaline junkies. If nothing else 'Dobermann' gives French cinema a kick up the behind (not that one was needed), actually it gives French cinema a beating it wont soon forget.
