Known as Dobermann, Yann Le Pentec is a notorious killer hunted by the French police.
Dobermann is visually an impressive film, and indeed the first half of the film is quite watchable, an extreme off-the-wall fl comic thriller, with some nice comic touches to offset the hard-edged thuggery.
Unfortunately, this is a film that really has nothing to say and it merely attempts to conceal the fact with over-the-top visual imagery and extreme depictions of human behaviour which is in no way realistic.
