The movie Dobermann was released in 1997 and directed by Jan Kounen. It stars Vincent Cassel as the titular character Dobermann, a psychopathic gang leader who has a penchant for violence and chaos. Alongside him are his gang members, including his girlfriend Nathalie (played by Monica Bellucci), a former prostitute who is fiercely loyal to him.
The movie opens with a brutal bank robbery carried out by Dobermann and his gang, where they kill several civilians and police officers. This sets off a nationwide manhunt, with the Paris police led by the sadistic cop Christini (played by Tchéky Karyo) determined to catch them.
As the hunt intensifies, Dobermann and his gang continue their spree of violence and robberies, including a supermarket heist where they take hostages and execute them one by one. Meanwhile, Christini becomes increasingly obsessed with catching Dobermann, to the point where he is willing to cross ethical boundaries and use excessive force to achieve his goal.
The movie is known for its stylized violence, surreal visual effects, and dark humor. It has been compared to other violent crime movies of the 1990s, such as Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction and John Woo's Hard Boiled. Dobermann was not a commercial success, but it has become a cult classic among fans of extreme cinema.
