Cocaine Bear review

 

Cocaine Bear might very well be the most absurdly ridiculous movie title of 2023 already and it's only February. With that being said this movie is a lot more true than you might think or at least that is what you are led to think when it comes to sources from Wikipedia. Set in 1985 Cocaine Bear tells the story of a female bear who begins to take Cocaine which was supposed to be travelling to some dodgy people. The person on-board the plane decided to jump off and in doing so he took some Cocaine with him. His plan ended in his death as his parachute fails to open and thousands and thousands of pounds of the drug land in a wooded forest area which just so happens to be where the titular Bear comes across it. 


It's a simple setup and it works believe it or not. Cocaine Bear is ridiculously entertaining from beginning to end featuring a whole bunch of grizzly deaths, Cocaine infused bursts of rage and a pretty visceral chase scene involving 2 Paramedics, a Park Ranger and an Ambulance. It is the best scene of the movie and features some of the most bloody, manic moments found throughout. Character wise is the only real let-down here as overall they don't really offer much and you don't find yourself rooting for their success which is a shame. From drug runners and their boss, to cops and a mom looking for her daughter all their stories intertwine into a mildly satisfying ending.


Cocaine Bear does exactly what it says on the tin. It's weird, it's wild and it is easily one of the most entertaining movies this year so far. Like the Bear just leave your brain behind and reveal in the utter bonkers nonsense and you'll have a blast!
