The Cobra (1967)
3/10
Dreary spy "thriller"
30 June 2012
Warning: Spoilers
OK, I'll admit it: this film is so boring that I finished watching it in the space of three days - I just couldn't take more than 30 minutes a day. The story has no drive to it, and the final unmasking of "The Cobra", probably meant to be shocking, induces only a giant "Meh!". There are no exciting action scenes or stunts. The hero is scruffy and charisma-free, Anita Ekberg is hysterical (literally!), although she does briefly snap out of it at one point to save the hero's life; then she goes back to being a victim again. In short, you deserve a medal if you can get through this one - even Stallone's 1986 dud "Cobra" is better than this! * out of 4.
