Jun 1, 2015 · Stallone gets Dirty in his own version of Eastwood's iconic policeman. Based, perplexingly enough, on British crime writer Paula Gosling's novel, 'A Running Duck' (released here as 'Fair Game' and adapted again in the 1995 film of the same name), Stallone more or less did away with the source material and wrote his own version of Gosling's book--transforming it into a DIRTY HARRY (1971) movie ...
Cobra gets gratuitously violent at times, almost to the point of uncomfortableness. There’s a bit of horror/slasher vibe happening, particularly in the hospital scene where Thompson attempts to find and kill Nielsen.
