Yes, gentlemen and ladies strap your belts in and look forward to a ride filled with insanity! "Cocaine Bear" is an awesome ride, in more methods than you can count. The film takes a "bear-y" true story and transforms it into a comical horror movie that will cause you to laugh, scratching at your brain, and considering the choices made by bears and drug traffickers.
Cocaine Bear
From the moment we meet the glamorous Andrew C Thornton, played perfectly by Matthew Rhys, you know you're set for a wild trip. The man is a smuggler who has style with grace, elegance and a ability to dump his valuable baggage in the most ominous locations. But little did he know of the possibility that he could without knowing it, create a legend for this century--the "Cocaine Bear!"
Do not think about what you believe you know about bears, and their habits of eating. The film takes a strong view and states that once bears consume cocaine, they not only party, but they get bloody! Forget about Godzilla There's a new reigning king, and there's a bear with a tendency to consume powdered substances.
Our characters, including police that are incompetent, the hapless criminals, and the innocent bystanders who couldn't find their way to the outside of a newspaper bag can keep you on your toes. Their incompetence collectively is a sight to behold. If you ever find yourself at a loss for something to laugh about you can imagine Detective Bob Springs and Officer Reba Mitchell, trying to solve the mystery without accidentally shooting one another.
But let's not forget our courageous adventurers, Olaf and Elsa. These aren't the Olaf and Elsa who appear in "Frozen." Two hikers are able to discover a treasure trove of Colombian goodies, and prior to when one can even hear "Bearzilla," they become one of the main targets for the Cocaine bear's unstoppable craving. Do you really need one more Disney princess when there's an uncontrollable, aggressive bear to be found?
The film strikes the perfect combination of horror and comedy and makes you smile in one scene, and then clutching your popcorn with terror the next. The bodies count increases faster than those hairs that hang on your head and you'll be cheering for each demise with wicked happiness. It's something like watching National Geographic special hosted by the Grim Reaper.
And now, let's talk about the ultimate showdown. Picture this: a waterfall running in the background our family comprising Sari, Dee Dee, and Henry ready to take on this beast called the Cocaine Bear. It's an epic battle for that will last forever, complete with an explosion, the roar of a bear and enough white powder challenge Tony Montana to shame. When you think that you've seen the last of bear you, it's brought back by a cocaine explosion! This is a tale of a return to the legendary scale.
Yes "Cocaine Bear" may have the flaws. The editing style is as fast like a drunk squirrel and leaves you scratching your brain and you wondering if the film reel was actually being used as scratching pole. Be assured, fans, as the bear CGI is surprisingly top-notch. The bear has the power to steal the show and the editing team seemed to appear to be in the midst of a sugar rush themselves.
This film is a concoction of double-crossings, tension with unexpected bonds. It's like mixing tequila with bear saliva--unconventional and unforgettable. Then, as the credits play and you leave the theater with a smirk around your mouth, take note of the final word of advice from the reviewer: Beware of feeding bears anything and especially not drugs or fellow hikers. It's a guarantee that it won't take a lot of time for anyone who is involved.
Therefore, get your popcorn and buckle up then get ready to be transported into an enthralling world "Cocaine Bear." This is a unique cinematic experience that will have Cocaine bear review you in stupor, contemplating the real potential of bears as well as their hidden party potential.
