Cobra by George P. Cosmatos

Rating is based on watching approximately the first 10 minutes of the movie (first scene and start of second scene). The dialogue was bad cliché format. Classic character actors in many of the roles. The movie was so badly done and with uninteresting characters that this is not worth watching.

Director George P. Cosmatos went on to direct Tombstone. --Andrew Wright… (more)
