Dobermann Reviews:
Stupid and no point
2007-10-14 - I just want to say it is a stupid movie which is not valued to say anything more.

french action movie
2007-06-25 - This movie isn't Shakespeare folks and doesn't pretend to be anything but an over-the-top cops and robbers movie from the french perspective. I disagree with the previous reviewer who said it didn't make any sense. It makes perfect sense for criminals hopped up on drugs to be violent and out of control. It makes perfect sense for certain cops to be tired of dealing with this and crossing the line.

There was the message that American influence on french culture is NOT a good thing and ummm, I think the scene where after doing his business outside, the bad guy rips a page out of the high brow magazine to wipe himself was making a point. This little gem of a movie is not a thinking film but rather, an in-your-face action fest that zips along from start to end. After the opening scene, we see a man and woman (played with amazing skill by Vincent Cassel and Monica Bellucci) rob an armored truck and their creepy characters and violence sets the tone. We meet the whole bank robbing gang and watch them plan another heist. The cops planning to stop them are brutally outmatched. The second squad of police are not so civic minded and the chase is on between them and Dobermann.

There are two scenes with babies and both are disquieting and make the point that no good can come from children surrounded by violence. All the over the edge characters meet up in a club aptly named Joe's Hell. Drug usage, foul language and nudity ensues. The clash between Dobermann and the Christini, the cop, finally takes place. It's one of the few movies that I've had to close my eyes - so be prepared for disturbing violence. Simply, it's an adrenalin rush of a story that has appeal for a certain audience. It's a masterpiece for it's genre. You decide whether it's for you.

what a mess
