Cocaine Bear Review

Life can be tough, especially when you’re strapped for cash like many of us. That’s why I’ve been working on a media project called “My mum said I could watch it, and can I pick her up 20 Rothmans Mr Singh” – a series of vlogs based on the video rentals I used to do at the corner shop back in the mid-’80s. My childhood was pretty typical for men my age (46), but it’s still a far cry from bunking school to do cocaine or reading Shakespeare. Although, I do have fond memories of finding a skip full of porn during lunch break when I was 14 – a day that could’ve been directed by Danny Boyle.

But let’s move on to “Cocaine Bear”. Now, I know it sounds like it’s unreviewable, like “Snakes on a Plane” or “Cats”, but Elizabeth Banks truly delivers in this film. Her use of the camera is kinetic, and the ensemble cast is empathetic. The script is gripping and captures the brutality and majesty of nature, as well as the drug use.

The characters are so well-developed that you can’t help but root for everyone, even the drug dealers and local hoodlums. You’ll also find yourself caring for the park ranger, safety promoter, and the kids who are trying to avoid getting into trouble. Kerri Russell and Ray Liotta play their roles as “Momma and Poppa bears” just as convincingly as the black bear. The attention to detail, especially with character Sari, who throws herself into danger with complete “not without my daughter vibes”, grounds the film in the ’80s and stops it from becoming a cliché.

The plot is surprisingly genuine and features enough twists and turns to keep you engaged even without the bear. The misunderstandings, betrayals, and reveals are expertly woven into the story, and each death hits you hard.

The film also breaks taboos right from the start, and Elizabeth Banks will capture your heart with a character just to rip it out and feed it to the bear. Everything in this film lives up to the poster and trailer.

In conclusion, “Cocaine Bear” is not just some knockoff from the Asylum, nor is it an ’80s empire picture. It’s a unique and captivating film that is sure to leave a lasting impression. And if you’ve already read all the other positive reviews out there, then thanks for reading mine. Now, take your 50p’s and get lost!
