Rating:  - King Cobra
A friend of mine once stated that Cobra was "one of the greatest works of art ever committed to celluloid". He's dead now, so I feel okay saying that his comment was patently absurd. Cobra is, in fact, the greatest achievement in human history. More to the point, watching Cobra is like peering into the mind of God.
Following all the movie's plot twists and turns is certainly a test of mental acuity, but under the delicate helmsmanship of director George Cosmatos, even a dullard can expect 87 minutes of uninterrrupted rapture. Based on Paula Gosling's criminally Nobel-overlooked novel "Fair Game", Cobra explores the fragile struggle between civilized society's need for a humane justice system versus its innate lust for exacting revenge. In an increasingly violent, hostile, and lonely world, where apocalyptic serial-killing cults are allowed to infiltrate our power structures (in this case, the police force), slaughter our pop icons in parking garages (Peter Cetera), and clink their axes together in abandoned warehouses, where do we draw the line between cruelty and justice? Where Cosmatos stands on this issue is purely speculative, as he tackles the films denouement with characteristic subtlety and restraint: Cobra impales the maniacal cult leader on a hook conveyor to be immolated in a roaring smelting furnace. It's an ending that will no doubt continue to inspire spirited discourse amongst filmgoers and ethicists for decades to come.

Rating: - It's interesting!!!
This movie was interesting and exciting. This movie was famous. Also this movie never stop hard action part. This movie character was very good action star and he was great. everyone knows that. I enjoyed it.
Rating: - Highly Amusing
Cobra is a beast of a man. Highlights including the Cobra wrecking his car and the infamous hospital attack.
Rating: - The logical endpoint of the "Dirty Harry" genre
"Dirty Harry" started the genre of "the maverick cop willing to break a few rules and trample a few constitutional rights to get the job done" genre, and "Cobra" is the genre's logical endpoint. It's fitting that two of the principal actors in Dirty Harry also appear in Cobra (Andy Robinson and Reni Santoni). I believe that was no accident of casting.
Cobra is reductivist in its storyline, with every character, every scene boiled down to the essentials. The troubled, violent cop. The maniac bad guy. The interesting weaponry. The violation of due process. The ethnic sidekick/partner. The damsel in distress. They're all here, performing their exact functions, no more, no less.
