Based on a ripped-from-the-headlines true story, King Cobra is a deliciously dark, twisted plunge into the behind-the-scenes world of the gay pornography industry. It's 2006, YouTube is in its infancy, and internet porn is still behind a paywall. Taking the stage name Brent Corrigan, a fresh-faced, wannabe adult video performer (Garrett Clayton) is molded into a star by Stephen (Christian Slater), a closeted gay porn mogul who runs the skin flick empire Cobra Video from his seemingly ordinary suburban home. But as Brent's rise and demands for more money put him at odds with his boss, he also attracts the attention of a rival producer (James Franco) and his unstable lover (Keegan Allen) who will stop at nothing to squash Cobra Video and steal its number one star. Co-starring Alicia Silverstone and Molly Ringwald, King Cobra is part delirious, tabloid-shocker satire, part American tragedy.

Go ahead, waste your moneyOnce again, James Franco presents us with a sloppy and hastily put together film where he get to question “Is he or isn’t he”? Oh, and this time he gets to be a bottom! Big thrill. /s The problem with this movie (and all its variations, including the so-called “true book” it was based on), is that the story is seriously lop-sided to make some people look out to be innocent dupes and other dupes not so innocent. There is still another side of this sordid tale to be told, and that one won’t be coming along for a great many years. Interesting that a few of the “true” characters’ names were legally changed (I guess Brian Kocis’ family didn’t want to besmirch his Eagle Scout Reputation, but when it came to other characters, oh, there was no problem using their Legal Names. Do yourself a favor: save your money. Don’t encourage this kind of movie-making, Instant Trash for Your Quick Cash..Score: 1/5
InappropriateLook up who Brent Corrigan is, and you’ll understand why this movie is absurdly inappropriate. Make better choices James and stop taking advantage of the LGBT community 🙄.Score: 1/5
Really hotIt's a great movie I love it so much and a great story based on the real story. I love the work love the actors..Score: 5/5
Bland homoerotic boo dramaOne of the few instances where the film dramatization is nowhere near as interesting as the story that inspired it. For a film about murder and underage models in the gay adult film world, it feels watered down, tame and oddly bland. Just another case of James Franco gaybaiting his queer audience. I suggest you YouTube the docs about the story instead..Score: 2/5
Pretty Good movieI was very impressed by this. The actors all did an amazing job. No, it's not perfect but I still highly recommend it..Score: 5/5
Expected much moreI expected a lot more from this movie. With all these big actors and actresses, I thought it would be a decent movie. Of course, I was way wrong. The plot of the "murder" doesn't even come in until the end and is rushed with its ending. A whole hour and twenty minutes is dedicated to half naked men doing nothing with their lives. It might as well have been regular porn, because they all came pretty close. The characters also felt extremely flat. You can tell these actors were used for their looks and nothing else. Everything felt forced. What a waste of my time and money. Please don't watch unless you wanna see tacky, stereotypical gay wannabe porn..Score: 1/5
Good MovieThe movie was really good overall. The acting was on point for the most part. I only wish it would've had captured more of the actual role Brent Corrigan played if you know what I mean! I could def. see a sequel to this movie, though I'm sure that won't happen..Score: 4/5
Love itIt's honestly better produced than I initially believed it would be. Great cast with side humor. I believe it would get more attention if it were not about porn, but hey still great..Score: 5/5
