Every aspect of this film is reprehensible. Stallone's character is an empty hulk; the few attempts to provide us with little insights into his character are downright laughable.

Cobra is a sleek, extremely violent and exciting police thriller.

Top CriticIt's fast-paced and full of gaudy action, yet it's thoroughly unsatisfying, largely because it's so lazy.

Sub-par Stallone shoot-em-up.

The body count is only somewhere in the high eighties -- and most of these are simply gunned down with a deplorable lack of invention.

Camp for adults. This is before Nielson got all puffy and drunkish too!

An adequate no-brainer that does little to distinguish itself from the rest of Sly's action man back catalogue.

Top CriticI'll take 'Ludicrous Stallone Action Flicks From the Late 80s' for $500, Alex.

Worth seeing only in a "depressing time capsule" sort of way.
