Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Disturbing yet enthralling

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Dogs are the greatest, most noble animals in the world. They love humanity and will do anything, as this movie proves, for us. This is a really fun movie where a gang gets the idea to use Doberman's a quite intelligent breed, to rob a bank. The movie works well and the heist is well filmed. A really enjoyable, if silly, movie.

"The doggonist gang that the world had ever seen..."At dinner one night, my father-in-law saw a Doberman on TV and asked if I had ever seen the movie where Dobermans rob a bank. I hadn't...but knew from that description alone that I had to track it down.It was released in 1972, directed by Byron Chudnow. Chudnow only directed four movies in his career...The Doberman Gang, The Daring Dobermans, The Amazing Dobermans, and Alex and the Doberman Gang. Pretty safe to say that this guy had an unhealthy obsession with these dogs. It stars TV journeyman actor Byron Mabe, Hal Reed and Julie Parrish, none of whom you've ever heard of.The story revolves around an ex-con named Eddie and his desire to rob a bank without the element of 'human error' once a bank job goes wrong. To do this, he and a dog trainer snag a pack of Dobermans and train them to rob a bank using whistles. Sound crazy? It is. It really is.The premise of this movie sounds a bit better than it actually is. What we actually get is about 10 minutes of set up, an hour of dog training, and a ten minute heist. A bunch of character decisions make no sense, none more than the fact that Eddie is about the least careful criminal one could be. He pulls a waitress that he's known for one night into the job because...well...sex, and when the dog trainer threatens to bolt, he basically lets him. He flat out deserves to get caught. At least the 70's music is 'groovy', featuring a song about the dogs that just classic(ly bad).I cannot recommend seeing The Doberman Gang. The only thing redeeming about this thing is the music and watching a bulldog try to run the doberman course.My final grade: D

1972 is a long time ago and judged by todays standards many might dismiss this as a poor B movie flick. On the other hand judged by todays TV standards this is a great laugh and if it was produced now it would be a success. We love dogs and hate banks. How often have you sat on the porch looking at the stars and wondered how the hell can I get back at the bank who just charged £30 for going slightly overdrawn. Mans best friend comes to the rescue. The producer of this film deserves full credit for his foresight and a remake is long overdue perhaps with Brad Pitt as the staring role and Courtney love as the lead Doberman. Okay with died hair. I jest, just love a so called 'B' movie form 1972 thats entertaining.

A group of clever criminals train a six Doberman Pinchers to rob a bank for them in this low-budget crime caper film. Director Byron Chudnow doesn't display a great deal of finesse, nor does the cast of unknowns for that matter, but he manages to get the job done. One of the better B-caper films of its time. This is a guilty pleasure I return to time and time again.
