The Classic Action Film: Cobra
When it comes to classic action movies, Cobra should definitely be on your list. Released in 1986, this Sylvester Stallone-starrer is a wild ride from start to finish. As a fan of this genre, this movie has left me pumped up with its adrenaline-fueled scenes and badass characters. Here’s why I think you should give it a watch.
The Plot: Fighting for Justice
Cobra is a cop who plays by his own rules and is tasked with protecting the only witness to a serial killer’s crimes. Along the way, he encounters obstacles that threaten his mission but fights his way through them.
This plot may sound simple and predictable, but trust me, the execution in the hands of director George P. Cosmatos and writer Sylvester Stallone makes it an entertaining watch.
The Cast: A Stellar Job
Sylvester Stallone as Marion Cobretti truly shines in this movie. He delivers one-liners with perfection and also showcases some impressive acting skills beyond his action hero persona. His chemistry with Ingrid Knutsen, who plays the witness Ingrid, is captivating and adds more depth to the plot.
Supporting actors like Brigitte Nielsen and Reni Santoni also do a stellar job in their respective roles. Nielsen’s character, Night Slasher, makes for a formidable villain that gives Cobra a run for his money. Santoni’s character, Detective Monte, is also a standout with his dry wit and sarcasm which provides some comic relief amidst all the action.
The Action: Intense and Thrilling
When it comes to action movies, Cobra doesn’t disappoint. From car chases to shootouts to knife fights, it has all the staples of an adrenaline-fueled ride. The intense scenes will keep you on the edge of your seat throughout the movie.
The Soundtrack: Perfectly Complements the Scenes
The soundtrack by Sylvester Levay is an underrated gem that perfectly complements the movie’s scenes. The main theme “Angel of the City” is hauntingly beautiful and sets the tone for some of the more somber moments in the plot.
The Bad: Predictable Plot Points
While Cobra has many things going for it, there are some predictable plot points that may leave you disappointed. For example, the Night Slasher’s identity isn’t much of a surprise, and the ending may be too abrupt for some viewers.
The Verdict: A Classic Action Flick
Despite its flaws, Cobra remains one of my favorite action movies. Its thrilling action scenes, memorable characters, and killer soundtrack make it a must-watch for any fan of this genre. If you’re looking for a movie that will get your heart pumping, give Cobra a watch.
