Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Slovak jak Repa I've seen several episodes on Markíza and i don't get it. Its all about explosions, deaths and Germans. There's this 1,50 cm tall guy Semir Gerkhan, who cant be killed by an exploding car/helicopter/plane/boat/UFO/motorcycle/my real grandpa etc. He had like 10-20 comrades who died from exploding cars and such. Although, Semir is alive and he is on his 11th season with Ben, or someone like that with an completely non German name. If this whole thing was real, their real names would be Muhamad and Hans and they would die on first day in job.But no, they kill and arrest people since 1996. Semirs wife Andrea, who is like 20cm taller than him, loves him and they have a baby, and who knows what he will be when he grows up. Maybe a 1,58 cm tall midget villain, who looks dangerous but he fights for good and he likes sausages. We would call it Kobra 12 (how original). But Kobra 11 is not as good as the sequel should be.
board-5 Great actions,and great acting,with mostly good story.This is a television series,and this means the creators time after time have to investigate the concept,and this is not work all the time,but we mostly forgive this cause real movie fans knows why is this series is for.Creators can change in a television series,don't wait all the time the same,they will try to make the same quality,but lot of things depends on you.(what you wait from this)Sometimes it's become routine like every other series,but I still recommend this series.This series is about great actions,and suspenseful situations,sometimes good plot also can help,give this a try,mostly this won't disappoint you.7/10
Tomislav Colig I live in a small city in Croatia and our RTL television is broadcasting Alarm fur cobra 11 ( Cobra 11- specijalci s autoputa- Croatian title) and I have to say that I am impressed. The story, the effects, the explosions and the crashes, all this is amazing. But, even if this show is awesome it has much clichés. I mean in every episode there is this huge crash on the autobahn, Our heroes Semir and his partner ( there are 25 seasons and in every season there is about 7-8 episodes, and after 20-30 episodes, Semirs partner dies, then Semir is sad, everybody is crying and then in the next Pilot episode ( 90 min ) Semir gets a new partner) are saving lives and then boom, a huge explosion. In the middle of the episode the main suspect is running away and the re is some big shooting going down. Then a car chase and the suspect escapes. And in the end a car chase and again a huge crash and a very, very, very big explosion, and thats it. The pilot episodes are very special. The story is phenomenal, not so repetitive like in the normal episodes, and the action is like in a excellent American movie. Yes, but now in the new 24 and 25th season the story isn't so repetitive, its very interesting. The new episodes are the best if you ask me. Just write in you tube :"Cobra 11 auf eigene faust" and you will see the new pilot episode were Semir becomes a new partner.So, all in all this show is awesome, it has big minuses but it has big pluses too. One of the best action series ever filmed!!! Watch it!!! You will not regret!!!!!
nvdw One of the first episodes of Cobra 11 I can reminisce, featured a police car hitting an anchor hanging down a bridge over the Autobahn. It's still one of the best stunts I've ever seen."Alarm für Cobra 11 - Die Autobahnpolizei" is a typical German 'krimi' (whodunnit), with a bit more action involved. Truckloads of cars are scrapped in various action scenes. It's not useful to the story at all, and regularly I get the idea that some stunts are just done for the mere fun of it. Apparently, a simple accident involving only two cars is not enough for Cobra 11's stunt crew, so why not crashing the rest of the entire Autobahn into them? And when all these nutters come to a halt just in time, why not fail the brakes of an oncoming truck so the highway will turn into a scrapyard anyway? To hell with realistic action sequences - who cares that cars don't explode in real life?Cobra 11 has started another season when I write this, and it seems that the stunt team has taken over the scriptwriting. The two hero-like highway coppers seem to have only one goal in their lives: catching the bad guys at all costs. Shooting at thugs in crowded areas, pushing innocent cars off the road when in a high speed chase, nicking other people's cars to go after thugs, scrapping that very car stupidly so the thugs can flee unscathed, crashing the unmarked patrol car into market stalls, dustbins, billboards or other cars - it's all in the game, apparently. The plot holes are as big as Jupiter, the continuity goofs are innumerable, and so are the clichés: all the gang lords drive American cars or Jaguars, the Yakuza - when featured - drive old Z31 Fairladies, cars with caravans are always fitted with Dutch license plates and all tanker trucks featured are doomed to explode.(And yet it's still fun to watch, just because of the action.)
