Cobra

A tough detective, Marion 'Cobra' Cobretti, is assigned to protect a female witness who has seen a ritualistic killing. As they go on the run from a murderous, Luddite cult known as 'The New Order', Cobra finds himself battling not only the killers but also the bureaucratic red tape of his own department. He must use his unconventional methods to survive and protect the woman he's come to care for.

Cobra was a commercial success, performing well at the box office, but it was largely panned by critics. It is often considered one of Sylvester Stallone's lesser films, criticized for its thin plot, excessive violence, and predictable nature. However, some audiences appreciated its over-the-top action and Stallone's tough-guy persona.

• Praised for its stylized action sequences and Stallone's charismatic tough-guy performance.
• Criticized for a derivative plot, excessive violence, and a lack of depth.
• Seen as a prime example of a typical 1980s action flick, for better or worse.

Google audience: Audiences generally found the film to be an entertaining, albeit standard, 80s action movie. Many enjoyed Sylvester Stallone's iconic tough-guy role and the over-the-top action, though some noted the plot was somewhat predictable and violent.

The film's opening sequence featuring a police raid on a supermarket was filmed in downtown Los Angeles, and the supermarket used was the same one where the famous scene in *Raiders of the Lost Ark* (1981) was filmed.
