Notes
I read a piece about King Cobra in connection with the Tribecca Film Festival and thought it should be interesting -- I therefore placed a preorder for the the dvd when scheduled for release in February of 2017 -- Since it was based on the murder of a gay porn producer, I anticipated a nice juicy salacious thriller -- Unfortunately, after I received and viewed the film, I found it disappointing -- Character development was weak -- Overall, the plot was flat with little depth --I developed little empathy for any of the protagonists -- As a bit of history, some may find it interesting -- as of this writing, it is available on NetFlix as well as purchase dvd.
