Cobra is a crime thriller movie released in 1986 that stars Sylvester Stallone as Lt. Marion Cobretti (also known as "Cobra"), a no-nonsense cop with a reputation for being tough and efficient. The movie is directed by George P. Cosmatos and is based on the novel "Fair Game" by Paula Gosling. The plot of the movie revolves around a serial killer named "The Night Slasher" who is terrorizing the city of Los Angeles. Cobretti is called upon to lead the investigation into the killings, and he soon discovers that the Night Slasher is part of a cult of psychopathic killers who aim to create a new world order by killing the weak and the vulnerable. The group is called "The New World."

As Cobretti investigates the case, he comes across Ingrid (Brigitte Nielsen), a beautiful model who witnessed one of the Night Slasher's crimes. Ingrid becomes a target for the killers, and Cobretti takes it upon himself to protect her from their wrath. Together, they flee from the cult's vicious attacks, all while cobretti is trying to outmaneuver the group and bring them to justice.

Throughout the movie, there are several action-packed scenes as Cobretti engages the killers in violent gunfights and car chases. He fights for Ingrid's life, and together they try to unravel the mystery of the New World and stop them before it's too late.

One of the unique aspects of the movie is Cobretti's persona- he is not your typical law enforcement officer. He is a man who is not afraid to bend the rules when necessary, and he doesn't mind getting his hands dirty. Cobretti is a man with a mission, and he will stop at nothing to fulfil his duty.

The film and storyline received a mixed response from critics, and the movie was not a commercial success. The critics found the film too violent and criticized the over-the-top dialogue and unrealistic plot. However, fans of the action-movie genre appreciated the film's fast pace and its portrayal of Cobretti as a tough and uncompromising detective, willing to do whatever it takes to get the job done.

In summary, Cobra is an action-packed thriller that follows the story of an unorthodox police detective, Lt. Marion Cobretti, as he tries to stop a cult of brutal killers intent on creating a new world order. The movie provides audiences with plenty of suspenseful and violent scenes, and it is a must-watch for fans of the action movie genre. Despite its critical reception, Cobra remains a popular cult classic due to its exhilarating action sequences and Sylvester Stallone's portrayal of a gritty and determined cop.

Cobra is a 1986 action movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 27 minutes. It has received poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 5.8 and a MetaScore of 25.
