The plot: A 227kg black bear consumes a significant amount of cocaine and embarks on a drug-fuelled rampage through a Georgia forest, endangering the lives of cops, criminals, tourists and teenagers.
Cocaine Bear was quite fun.
Pros: This film knows what type of film it’s trying to be (a survival film). The title of this film does sound funnier that it is. I adored the two little kids’ characters Henry and Dee Dee and it does not shy away from showing gore and violence.
Cons: I didn’t care that much for the other characters and I didn’t like any of the music in the movie.
