Well everyone from John Wayne to Clint Eastwood has had a go at the rogue cop does good drama, so now it’s the turn of the wooden as a cheeseboard Sylvester Stallone with “Cobretti”. With a stylish leather jacket, a confident swagger and a toothpick constantly in his mouth, this officer has to turn his mind to a seemingly unconnected series of vicious attacks. Indeed, the only things that might connect the crimes are that the victims all seems to be insignificant people of no particular importance to anyone. We are not so much in the dark as him, though, as we know a little more about what’s going on and why it’s very important that he manages to keep “Ingrid” (an almost equally static Brigitte Nielsen) safe from a menacing individual who is determined to stop her testifying against his cultish paymasters. This film is entirely designed as a vehicle for Stallone with very little originality to it, but there is some action now and again and the nemesis reminded me of Conan-Doyle’s slightly maniacal “Hoxton Creeper” as he does his job well enough. Car chases, shoot-outs, black eyes and bruises galore but we’ve seen it all before - only without so many cheesy power ballads. It’s dated, and frankly a bit dull. Sorry.
