Crime is the disease and
Sylvester Stallone is the cure in
Cobra, a high-octane rehash of the
Clint Eastwood/
Dirty Harry films, burnished to a 1980s
action sheen.
Stallone is
Marion Cobretti, a cop called in when regular police methods have failed.
Cobra is sent to get a cult of
Charles Manson-like serial killers and to protect
Ingrid (
Brigitte Nielsen), a beautiful, statuesque witness who is set to testify against them.
Cobra deposits
Ingrid in an out-of-the-way town for safe-keeping, but a mole in the police department tips off the killers. The gang comes racing into town to get
Ingrid, but
Cobra is there waiting for them, ready to spring into action.
