Short and sweet.

‘Cobra’ is a straightforward, by the numbers action film with Sylvester Stallone. It doesn’t really do much to drift you away from the obvious, but the action itself is entertaining and some of the deaths are quite cool to watch. The songs are passable, if not entirely well chosen.

Stallone, as you’d likely expect, is the only performer worth noting. He does his usual stuff and it comes across strong enough, one thing I didn’t like about his character is his speech – the dialogue is kinda poor, they attempt to make Cobra a smooth, cool badass but it doesn’t really work in that way.

I’d almost considering this a disappointing film, but the watchable action and Stallone himself carry this over the line for a good film in my opinion.

It’s hard to find a single aspect of _Cobra _that hadn’t been done before, or hasn’t been done better since. It’s hoakey and way too self-serious given the content. But if you’re hankering for some of that Sly action of yore, you shouldn’t go past _Cobra_… Unless its for any number of the nearly-identical-but-better movies he did in the same era.

_Final rating:★★½ – Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole._

Some brilliant sequences jammed between the mediocrity
George Cosmatos, the director of the dim-witted RAMBO: FIRST BLOOD PART 2, directs this schizophrenic exercise in style with some aplomb.

The title sequence is simply stunning. DOP Ric Waite’s images exist in some sort of surreal world that the film can’t possibly contextualize. At magic hour, a bad guy on a motorcycle is intercut with ludicrous but gorgeous images of other bad guys (in suits, no less) ritualistically banging axe handles together in some underground warehouse in Los Angeles in time with a dark, brooding synth score

The sequence that follows, a madman’s bullet-ridden assault on a supermarket, is again stunningly shot and staged and a triumph of style over anything you want to name.

Once these bravura sequences have passed, mediocrity and Hollywood Plotting 101 cuts in and we’re pulled back into a dull reality.

But don’t fret. Sit tight for long enough and you get an enthusiastically staged car chase with ducks, machine guns, classic cars bursting from buildings, a Santa who comes close to being roadkill and badly uttered Stallone lines.

Fast forward then to the film’s climactic shootout on motorcycles and you’re left with an action film that spends forty minutes doing everything right.

Stallone emotes with cruise control and his wife-at-the-time Brigitte Nielson just wears the clothes and moves from first position to second.

Razzie History
With Cobra I think Sylvester Stallone went over the top with his tough screen persona. There is a limit as to how much the movie-going public will swallow. Note that he hasn’t done a Cobra II in his career, dare I say no one’s approached him with the project.

Stallone is Lieutenant Mario Cabretti and he functions as a kind of one man SWAT team for the LAPD. When we first meet him, he’s been sent for to dispatch a particularly loathsome cretin who’s shooting up a supermarket. Dirty Harry couldn’t have done a better job.

However Stallone thinks this guy and his psychotic crime might be connected to a series of brutal knifings that have taken place throughout the city recently. Of course he can’t get anyone to believe him, still he gets on the task force about those killings.

And he draws another assignment, protect the only person to survive an attack, model Birgitte Nielsen. But he’s frustrated at every turn as this gang of bikers seem always to be a step ahead of them. Not that this urban version of Rambo isn’t up to what they can dish out.

Cobra was a film created for Stallone and Nielsen whom he was involved with at the time. Nielsen is a beautiful statuesque model who acts on the level of a high school production. Did you ever think Sly Stallone would outact anyone in any film?

The film is a ripoff of Dirty Harry, but Clint Eastwood never insulted the audience’s intelligence the way this film does. However it did have both Reni Santoni and Andy Robinson in the cast who were also in Dirty Harry. Robinson who was the psychotic Scorpio in Dirty Harry is Stallone’s supervisor in Cobra. But poor Santoni who was the first partner Dirty Harry left behind was also injured aiding Stallone in that final shootout with the biker gang.

I believe the Tom Hanks-Dan Ackroyd film satiric version of Dragnet used the biker gang in Cobra as part of the satire. Cobra also made a sweep of the Razzie Awards winning Worst Picture, Worst Actor for Stallone, Worst Actress for Birgitte Nielsen and three others.

At night you could hear the plaintive cry of Sylvester Stallone singing to Birgitte Nielsen, “yo, what I did for love.”
