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.

As a kid, it was another fun action movie with a lot of fun violence and just scary enough where I could boast about it at school. And, as an adult it's a fun action movie with a lot of fun violence and a plot that doesn't completely make sense, but who cares because the point is fun. It…

Well everyone from John Wayne to Clint Eastwood has had a go at the rogue cop does good drama, so now it’s the turn of the wooden as a cheeseboard Sylvester Stallone with “Cobretti”. With a stylish leather jacket, a confident swagger and a toothpick constantly in his mouth, this officer has to turn his mind to a seemingly unconnected series of vicious attacks. Indeed, the only things that might connect the crimes are…
