GetPapa Far from Perfect, Far from Terrible

Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

George Taylor Dumb. Dumb. and more Dumb. Stallone plays a barely coherent cop who has to protect the equally incoherent Bridgette Neilsen from a crazed gang. Enough ammo is fired off int his movie to fight the Normandy invasion. The acting is barely there and the story ... well there isn't much of one.

bryanf-85728 There is a story floating on the web that states that the reason Stallone wanted to shorten the runtime of Cobra was because he wanted the film to run 5-6 times in a day. Well, that didn't happen because Cobra was savaged by the critics (though it was a big box office hit) but the film is now considered to be something of a minor cult classic. Stallone is the main character- a no nonsense cop and gets entangled with a biker gang. This is a movie to be watched with a cartel of beer and a bunch of friends over the weekend.

Predrag I had almost forgotten what a great simple thriller this was. Simple plot, maverick cop Marion Cobretti (Stallone) is assigned to protect a beautiful female witness from a cult of Neo-Nazi style supremacist bikers who are terrorising Los Angeles with a spate of brutal murders - You get it all here; a scene reminiscent of Halloween 2, where the cult leader (a monster of a man known as The Night Slasher) goes on a Michael Myers style killing spree at the City's hospital, plenty of bloody shootouts and fights and a couple of superb Car & Bike chases that are second only to the Mad Max movies, in terms of violence and spectacle. Really, really good stunt work and special effects! Also, there's lots of firearms, including Cobretti's hi-tech, laser sighted Jatimatic sub-machine gun, well deployed throughout the many chases and firefights!The tension throughout the film is well sustained and it is superbly atmospheric, creepy at times, but always entertaining and gripping one way or another. Brigitte Nielsen is also terrific as the model witness who they are forced to protect and she is convincingly terrified a lot of the time. Brian Thompson plays the killer in no doubt one of his first roles, and he of course later went on to play the bounty hunter in The X Files. The direction is top notch, and it was a shrewd idea, possibly by Stallone to bring in George P Cosmatos who Stallone had previously worked with on Rambo 2. Stallone is as good as ever, and if your a fan, I'm sure you've seen this a dozen times anyway. Overall rating: 7 out of 10.

Sam smith (sam_smithreview) Not sure how many people know this but this was going to be Beverly Hills Cop. Imagine that. Stallone was first asked to do Beverly Hills cops and he came up with few revision for the script which changed the whole genre, from light comedy and few action to simply action and much more action. But who didn't like Stallone's Cobra? This guy was more of a Bad ass then most criminals are today.As bad as this going to sound, I happen to enjoy this movie, it's so cheesy and sleazy and impossible not to like! Stallone mumbles and grunts his way through the film whilst Ms. Nielsen is nothing more than eye candy. Reni Santori mugs for the camera and does his best to deliver his goofy and inane dialog as the movie's designated comic relief. He also has bad timing in these movies because something always happens to him. The villains are pretty straight forward sweaty and delusional psychos who need to learn some basic manners.
