A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

While "Cobra" is not one of Sylvester Stallone's best movies, it is still an enjoyable action movie. and definitely one of the movies that helped establish him further in the action genre.The story in "Cobra" is very 1980s, in the sense that it is a single super cop that takes on a whole gang and emerges victorious. So it follows that generic action movie prototype that flourished in the 1980s.Sure, you will not be intellectually be challenged by "Cobra", but then again, were you ever by any of Stallone's movies? Nah, this is action as it is intended to be. So just lean back and enjoy the ride.Sylvester Stallone actually does a great job in the role of Cobra and carries the movie quite nicely. While the main villain, played by Brian Thompson, was a bit too generic and laughable."Cobra" is good enough for a nostalgic flashback to the pinnacle of Stallone's action career.

Cobra is THE GREATEST movie of all time. It has everything; Stallone, a bad guy named the slasher, a bad guy who looks like Rizzo from grease, more product placement than any other movie ever and pizza being cut with scissors.

If you watch this movie expecting realism, you will find yourself throwing your hands up more than once at stuff that is absurd. But if you look at it as a live action comic book with some music video thrown in, it's not bad entertainment. The action, suspense, atmosphere and style is pretty well done within that context. I probably won't watch it again any time soon, but I don't regret watching it.

The winning team of writer/actor Sly Stallone and director George P Cosmatos collaborate for a second time after making the 80's action classic Rambo- First Blood pt.2. Cobra has been a long time favorite of mine that holds up well through the years and multiple viewings. Cobra borrows a lot from Don Siegel/Clint Eastwood classic Dirty Harry, but amp up the action 80's style ala Rambo and Commando. Add dark ambiance and one liners that were common in Commando and you get Cobra. Sly is Marion Cobretti, a super cop and submachine gun wielding one man army. He is part of the "Zombie Squad and is an asset that is utilized when the LAPD need extra stopping power on the bad guys. He becomes involved on a case where he must protect a witness against a secret society of psychopaths led by The Night Slasher(Brian Thompson). Brian Thompson nearly steals the show with his amazing performance as a stone cold psychopath. His performance was dark, brooding and totally intense. The Night Slasher is one of my favorite screen villains and Brian Thompson's performance is second to none. Even with an all out roid rage, our hero Cobra has his hands full. Sly's wife at the time Brigitte Nielson gives one of her better performances as damsel in distress and also was some great eye candy as well. Reni Santoni and Andrew Robinson of Dirty Harry fame did well in their support roles. The film looks great and is packed with tons of action. Cobra still rules and is one of the most entertaining action films to come out of Hollywood in the good ole' days of the 1980's.
