Review of Dobermann (1997) by Ola G — 17 May 2011

The criminal Yann "Dobermann" Le Pentrec (Vincent Cassel) and his girlfriend Nat the Gypsy (Monica Bellucci), leads a gang of brutal and crazy bankrobbers. After one exceptional and violent bankrobbery, the sadistic and insane detective Christini (Tcehky Karyo) takes up the hunt for Dobermann. He will catch him at any cost...

I saw this film at the movies in Copenhagen back in 1997 and I remember it as a crazy cool actionride. Reseeing it doesn´t bring out the same feeling. "Dobermann" is a cartoony violent and quite disturbing piece of film. I didn´t like it at all I must say. Not sure why I liked it the first time. It´s just over the top ultraviolent and I reckon I have changed my liking towards these kinds of movies, with characters you can hardly like. I reckon depending on how they are done. "Sin City" was a different story, and "Dobermann" is something else. Very much something else...
