black cobra (1987)

aka Cobra Nero.
"Enough with the tears, OK?"
A siege with hostages is in progress, enter Robert Malone (Fred Williamson), who on being told to negotiate and acquiesce the kidnappers demands, shoots them all dead! Can you tell this is a cop playing by his own rules, and getting the job done? Subsequently he is called on to act as witness protection, for Elys Trumbo (Eva Grimaldi), who has witnessed a murder by a psychopathic gang. But should he hole up and stop her from being intimidated? Or should he find them, and deliver some high caliber justice of his own?
By the numbers action flick, that has the Italians taking Dirty Harry as its template, and adds a dash of John Carpenter's synth driven soundtrack. What's not to like?
