This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Sylvester Stallone stars in this violent 1986 film from director George P. Cosmatos (Rambo first blood part II). He stars as cop Marion Cobretti known as Cobra to his peers, he enforces his own brand of the law using a vast array of guns and explosives. Really awful movie with a depressing, dark and violent atmosphere but even with all the violence this film still manages to be bad. A villain dubbed Night Slasher is going round killing women and Stallone (Cobra) must stop him. One of the worst movies in movie history and a real stinker in my books. Bad movie.… Expand

Director George P. Cosmatos brings us Cobra.... He also directed Rambo: First Blood Part II the year before Cobra but that was better and even First Blood Part II wasn't that great.... Cobra was made in 1986 and it's a action film starringDirector George P. Cosmatos brings us Cobra.... He also directed Rambo: First Blood Part II the year before Cobra but that was better and even First Blood Part II wasn't that great.... Cobra was made in 1986 and it's a action film starring Sylvester Stallone as a cop who wears shades and has a matchstick in his gob. He protects a woman (Brigitte Nielsen) from a ruthless gang I think run by Brian Thompson who's after her. Cobra has some great action scenes but the bits inbetween are boring and depressing a bit like the whole movie. This movie feels like a morgue most of the time because it's dead of any feeling and Stallone at times is a bit wooden and unconvincing and Brian Thompson is a laughably bad villain and Brigitte Nielsen is annoying. The great action scenes don't save the film because it's a horrible story with laughable or annoying and stupid characters and the mood of the film is depressing. I should say all the acting is pretty bad especially from Stallone and Thompson so avoid Cobra at all costs because it's one of the worst films ever.… Expand

Cobra is peak 80s action film cheese that is solely carried by Stallone's popularity at the time. I understand why it could possibly have a cult classic label but that doesn't make it a good movie.
