Rotten
It's fast-paced and full of gaudy action, yet it's thoroughly unsatisfying, largely because it's so lazy.
Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader
Rotten
The film trades on the same technique used by books that attack pornography by printing examples of the dirty pictures. Cobra pretends to be against the wanton violence of a disintegrating society, but it's really the apotheosis of that violence.
Nina Darnton, New York Times
Rotten
The body count is only somewhere in the high eighties -- and most of these are simply gunned down with a deplorable lack of invention.
