Dobermann blurs the distinctions between good and bad, with a whole band of unlikeable criminals, and a police force similarly detestable.
Despite pre-dating The Matrix by a year or two, it is every bit as exciting, but more recklessly packaged, and far more prepared to break with cinematic convention, and extend the boundaries of what the viewer still finds acceptable.
This film is ideal for the action lover who doesn't mind subtitles, (or speaks fluent French). It is not one for the nervous or squeamish, or any one who doesn't like bangs.
A criminal of the 21st Century and his beautiful assistant lead a gang of robbers on their most daring heist to date. A cop who will break every rule in the book to catch them is on their tale.

DVD Description
The Dobermann (Vincent Cassel) is a class-A criminal for the 21st Century. Along with his beautiful partner Nat the Gypsy (Monica Bellucci), and an arsenal of high-tech weaponry, he leads a gang of vicious underlings into one of the most daring heists ever attempted. Unfortunately for them, renegade cop Christini (Tcheky Karyo) is on their trail and will stop at nothing to nab them the Dobermann and his crew. A confrontation between the two is inevitable, and you can rest assured that it will be explosive...and bloody. French director Jan Kounen infuses his film with a brutal energy that simply can not be matched by most Hollywood action films. This dynamic French production, based on a popular comic series, is also relentlessly brutal and bloody, and packs an almost unparallelled viseral punch! Action fans, strap yourselves in...you've been warned!
