Review of Dobermann

Dobermann (1997)
3/10
A criticism of an awful movie
2 June 2000
Don't misunderstand me. Dobermann has excellent cinematography and camera work. The special effects are great. But I want to comment on the sheer awfulness of the script, the plot and the characters. I watched this film with about ten people and we were all laughing at it. Its so incredibly naive and it beggars belief how anybody can watch this and not find the script absolutely appalling. For a while I thought it might be irony and taking the mickey out of itself. - But it CAN'T be. You would have to be an absolute genius to create such irony.

The characters all have idiosyncracies and enigmatic lines which are obviously supposed to contribute towards their depth and character development. But they just look childlishly ridiculous - we were laughing with incredulity that any film company could release such poor film-making.

If you like lots of guns and violence then fair enough; and at least seeing this movie will make you laugh. But I certainly wouldn't waste money buying it.
