davebald80's review against another edition
Sylvester Stallone's 1986 action film "Cobra" is loosely based on this suspense thriller, which is what inspired me to read it. The book is fine, and would probably make a decent movie if faithfully followed, though I myself like the cheese and over-the-top antics of "Cobra." Even the film's fascist politics, which ordinarily an ACLU-type like me would bristle at, contribute to the film's pleasing air of utter ridiculousness. (The book was apparently also filmed in 1995 as "Fair Game" with Cindy Crawford and one of the lesser Baldwins, which I have not seen, though I do remember the poster from when it came out.)
