...an exciting, blisteringly-paced actioner that benefits substantially from Sylvester Stallone's engrossing work as the title character.May 25, 2007
Sub-par Stallone shoot-em-up.February 09, 2006
The body count is only somewhere in the high eighties -- and most of these are simply gunned down with a deplorable lack of invention.August 19, 2003
An adequate no-brainer that does little to distinguish itself from the rest of Sly's action man back catalogue.April 07, 2017
It's goofy action fun and it gets better every single time I watch it.May 06, 2008
It's fast-paced and full of gaudy action, yet it's thoroughly unsatisfying, largely because it's so lazy.September 05, 2011
Dated and unintentionally laughable, Cobra will always be best known for the catchphrase "You're a disease and I'm the cure." Ironically, any audience foolhardy enough to brave this ugly movie is liable to stagger out feeling mighty sick. [Blu-ray]May 21, 2003
The film trades on the same technique used by books that attack pornography by printing examples of the dirty pictures. Cobra pretends to be against the wanton violence of a disintegrating society, but it's really the apotheosis of that violence.May 06, 2008
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.May 13, 2003
I'll take 'Ludicrous Stallone Action Flicks From the Late 80s' for $500, Alex.May 06, 2008
Cobra is a sleek, extremely violent and exciting police thriller.March 18, 2005
Camp for adults. This is before Nielson got all puffy and drunkish too!
