The idea of a black bear consuming pounds of cocaine and then rampaging for more sounds absurder than anything. But that is the basis of Cocaine Bear, the newest dark comedic action movie from Universal Studios. This funny story, which jimmy Warden wrote, was inspired by the 1985 passing of former drug officer Andrew Thornton, and it was directed by Elizabeth Banks. Thornton's stockpile of more than 800 pounds of cocaine is dispersed over the state of georgia after being abandoned mid-flight. And once a black bear has it, it develops a rapid addiction that makes it extremely hazardous for anyone who gets in the way of it receiving more.


Naturally, Warden's script takes a tonne of artistic license in how it deconstructs the seemingly implausible tale of the fabled "Cocaine Bear." The movie, however, is amazing in all its silliness and will keep audiences hooked to the screen with its fast-paced amusement and laughter. In particular, the all-star cast, which features Keri Russell, O'Shea Jackson Jr., Alden Ehrenreich, Margo Martindale, and Ray Liotta (in one of his final performances), offers a mix of characters to make this chaotic journey interesting. The scenes stand up to all the anticipation when their characters engage with the drug bear, who is the real star of the movie.


In Banks' storytelling, a cast of crooks, tourists, detectives, and teenagers come together in an absurdly funny thriller. But that's all part of the pleasure in this hilariously violent and violent novel. She strikes a wonderful balance between getting to know all the characters and adding human qualities while also remaining true to the story's main character. Also, there is a lot of blood and violence during the exchanges between the cocaine bear and the movie's main characters that one can't help but watch but that will undoubtedly make them squirm.


Even when the humour doesn't always succeed, one of Cocaine Bear's strongest qualities is its willingness to go all in on the craziness. In addition to having a bear consume pounds of cocaine, Banks made sure that her viewers would be left laughing and dazed by some of her direction choices. Little peeks of her boisterous and daring decisions can be found in scenes where the bear dances with a character or hugs a tree. These are amazingly appropriate for the director, and they will give viewers enough to giggle about long after the movie is gone.


Cocaine Bear is a terrific time at the movies, full of hilarious situations, dry humour, and an excess of blood and violence in between. It's the kind of movie that's best enjoyed in a crowded theatre with lots of friends to properly appreciate the craziness and fun atmosphere. The engaging performances from the stellar cast and outstanding special effects in Banks' film create a thrilling experience for viewers of all demographics.


The violence, laughter, and terrifying sequences in Cocaine Bear are precisely what one would anticipate from the title, but the overall experience flies above expectations.
