What can I say about Cobra some 34 years after it came out? Well, it's definitely a product of its era, and the popularity of the TV series Miami Vice, which was in its heyday at the time.
Cobra is all glossy visuals and pounding rock music, which enhance the dazzling violence. The whole movie feels like a rock video... or maybe an 80s beer commercial. I'm not sure. All I know is if you're in the mood for a movie like Cobra, nothing else will do.
Sylvester Stallone plays a tough-as-nails cop who must protect a model from a serial-killer cult bent on creating a new world order. That's pretty much all you need to know. There's a number of graphic murder sequences, a few blistering shootouts, and one magnificent car chase. This is an 80s action movie, and easily one of the best.
Stallone doesn't give Cobra a lot of depth, but the character doesn't really call for it. This is the era of the one-man-army movie, and Stallone does what he does almost better than anyone. And Brigitte Nielsen is the ultimate eye candy.
What can I say about Cobra some 34 years after it came out? It holds up well for the kind of movie it is, and I didn't ask it to be anything more than that. A Good.
