As crime runs rampant in the United States, the hard-as-nails LAPD Lieutenant, Marion "Cobra" Cobretti, is the only cure for the crime-infested urban jungle of Los Angeles. In the meantime, a string of seemingly unconnected and unmotivated random assaults on civilians will soon drag the hardened officer into a violent war against the psychopaths of the secret organisation named "The New World". With the criminal society's sole purpose to weed out the weak, Cobra will escort an important witness--the young model, Ingrid--out of town to protect her; however, the movement's delusional killers will stop at nothing to track her down. Now, the only one who stands in their way is the one-man-army Lieutenant. Are they prepared for Cobra's nasty bite?

| Reel Film ReviewsDavid Nusair...an exciting, blisteringly-paced actioner that benefits substantially from Sylvester Stallone's engrossing work as the title character. |
| Chicago TribuneGene SiskelWhereas Clint Eastwood simply would have squinted at Robinson, Stallone takes a more violent approach. Maybe that's the difference between actors--Eastwood can be droll; Stallone more often crosses the border to primeval. |
| VarietyVariety StaffCobra is a sleek, extremely violent and exciting police thriller. |
| The New York TimesNina DarntonA disturbing movie from many points of view: disturbing for the violence it portrays, the ideas it represents and the large number of people who will undoubtedly go to see it and cheer on its dangerous hero. |
| Miami HeraldBill CosfordCobra's pretentious emptiness, its dumbness, its two-faced morality make it a movie that begs to be laughed off. |
| Chicago ReaderDave KehrIt's fast-paced and full of gaudy action, yet it's thoroughly unsatisfying, largely because it's so lazy: once Stallone (also the screenwriter) and director George Pan Cosmatos have sketched out the standard genre archetypes, they leave it at that, not bothering to fill in the niceties of characterization, plausibility, motivation, and suspense. |
| Blunt ReviewEmily BluntCamp for adults. This is before Nielson got all puffy and drunkish too! |
| Washington PostPaul AttanasioEvery 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. |
| User ReviewSir AIt's a great stirring thriller movie from Stallone's 80's action movies. |
| User ReviewKevin Shard core action love stoy i wounder it the remake this move adult movie dont see kids under 15 |
