Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

George Taylor Dogs are the greatest, most noble animals in the world. They love humanity and will do anything, as this movie proves, for us. This is a really fun movie where a gang gets the idea to use Doberman's a quite intelligent breed, to rob a bank. The movie works well and the heist is well filmed. A really enjoyable, if silly, movie.

Coventry Certain seventies movies have such a bonkers plot concept that you have to watch them, if only just to see with your own eyes how they elaborated the idea! Take "The Doberman Gang", for instance. Following a screwed-up bank heist (they put the loot in the trunk of the wrong getaway car) and a romantic night with waitress June, the embittered ex-con Eddie comes up with the brilliant plan to train six fierce Doberman dogs to commit a bank robbery, so that he and his buddies can observe from a distance without running any risks. Brilliant, isn't it? So does this mean that "The Doberman Gang" is a fantastic 70s crime-caper gem with plenty of virulent action sequences and spectacular animal stunts? Unfortunately not … It's more of a slow-paced comedy/buddy movie with enormous amounts of dog training footage and a LOT of country music montages. Eddie enlists the help of former police dog trainer Barney, even though he only worked with German Shepard dogs before and initially doesn't know what he's training the Dobermans for, and puts together a forceful dog pack with the glorious sounding names of legendary bank robbers like Dillinger, Pretty Boy Floyd, Ma Barker, Baby Face Nelson and – of course – Bonnie and Clyde. Unless you have a strong affection for this particular type of dogs (like my mother-in-law, who for some reason collects everything that has to do with Dobermans) there's very little to recommend here. The first 70 or so minutes are quite dull and substantially void, unless you like country music, and the only things to enjoy are the charismatic dogs and the reasonably sympathetic acting performances of the second-rate bank robbers Sammy Bow and JoJo D'Amore. The actual bank heist is obviously a lot more entertaining and the tricks of the dogs and their trek back home are quite exhilarating to watch. There isn't any violence or verbal/physical brutality, so it's perfectly suitable for younger audiences.

cgrimmette 1972 is a long time ago and judged by todays standards many might dismiss this as a poor B movie flick. On the other hand judged by todays TV standards this is a great laugh and if it was produced now it would be a success. We love dogs and hate banks. How often have you sat on the porch looking at the stars and wondered how the hell can I get back at the bank who just charged £30 for going slightly overdrawn. Mans best friend comes to the rescue. The producer of this film deserves full credit for his foresight and a remake is long overdue perhaps with Brad Pitt as the staring role and Courtney love as the lead Doberman. Okay with died hair. I jest, just love a so called 'B' movie form 1972 thats entertaining.

johnny_dazzle You may have seen the hilarious trailer for this movie online. If not, simply search "doberman gang" on YouTube. I advise you to do this, then skip the movie entirely.I am not exaggerating when I say that the trailer has everything worth watching. "The Doberman Gang" is not a "so bad it's good" film. Worse than that-- the movie is painfully dull. Nothing happens, and I mean NOTHING for an entire hour. It is only in the last twenty minutes do we see the dogs in action. And again, it's everything you see in the trailer, only edited horribly to stretch out the scene. Think about it---dogs robbing a friggin' bank, and they somehow managed to make it boring! See instead "Daring Dobermans" the superior sequel. It picks up immediately where this film leaves off (the dogs succeed in robbing the bank, but then run away to the woods). A new band of criminals capture the dogs and train them for another heist. "Daring Dobermans" is truly enjoyable with a better story, more interesting characters including a cute kid, more doberman action and this time, the heist is exciting and fun.
