Title: Is there a cliche this movie doesn't cover?
Review: Why do I do this to myself? Stay up late at night and watch horrible action movies on HBO, that is. It seems like each one gets worse than the last. But "Cobra" is about as low as they can go.Stallone demonstrates quite admirably why action movie stars should not write their own screenplays. From the "maverick in the police department" to the "female lead who falls in love with a guy who continually and recklessly endangers her life" to the "treacherous partner cop-gone-bad" to the "one man vs. an army" of the climactic shootout, the plot might interest a sleeping zombie. Maybe that's his target audience, as the brutal senselessness of the movie could only escape the undead. Although even zombies will get a little nauseated at the retro-80s soundtrack.Maybe I've been spoiled by "The Matrix" -- no, scratch that, even the memory of "Rambo" and "Rocky" was enough to ruin this film. I think I'm going to go into my room and cry now.
