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.

But the mysterious killer makes one big mistake: he (or she) leaves a witness alive. Cobra, determined to protect the lovely fashion model witness, takes her into hiding.

Reviews for Cobra
It's fast-paced and full of gaudy action, yet it's thoroughly unsatisfying, largely because it's so lazy.
The body count is only somewhere in the high eighties -- and most of these are simply gunned down with a deplorable lack of invention.
An adequate no-brainer that does little to distinguish itself from the rest of Sly's action man back catalogue.
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.
