CocaineBear Review: Elizabeth Banks’ Ridiculous & Raunchy Thriller Is A Crowd Pleaser
Nothing sounds more ridiculous than the thought of a black bear taking pounds of cocaine and going on a rampage for more. But that’s the premise of Universal Pictures’ latest dark comedy action film, Cocaine Bear. Elizabeth Banks directed this hilarious story written by Jimmy Warden, which is inspired by the 1985 death of ex-narcotics officer Andrew Thornton. After ditching over 800 pounds of cocaine mid-flight, Thornton’s stash is scattered throughout the state of Georgia.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Of course, Warden’s script takes a plethora of creative liberties in the way it unravels the almost unbelievable story of the famous “Cocaine Bear.” However, the film is stupendous in all its ridiculousness, providing fast-paced entertainment and laughs that will keep viewers glued to the screen. Specifically, the star-studded cast, including Keri Russell, O’Shea Jackson Jr.
Some of the best parts of Cocaine Bear is its willingness to go all in on the absurdity even when the humor doesn’t always work. If having a bear tear through pounds of cocaine wasn’t enough, Banks made sure to leave her audiences filled with stupor and laughs thanks to some of her directional choices. Scenes like having the bear hug a tree or dance with one of the characters are just small glimpses into her rambunctious and bold choices.
Riddled with silly scenes, dry humor, and a surplus of blood and violence in between, Cocaine Bear is a great time at the movies. It’s the kind of film to watch with a large group of friends in a packed theater to fully experience the insanity and enjoyable atmosphere. Banks’ feature boasts fun performances from the fantastic cast and great special effects, delivering a wild ride that caters to audiences of all types.
