Hey, gentlemen and ladies take your seatbelts off and anticipate a rollercoaster of ridiculousness! "Cocaine Bear" is an awesome ride, in more kinds of ways. The movie takes a "bear-y" true story and transforms it into an fun horror-themed comedy that'll leave you laughing, scratching your head, or pondering what the characters' lives are like for bears and drug smugglers.
Cocaine Bear
The moment you meet the handsome Andrew C Thornton, played magnificently by Matthew Rhys, you know you're in for a wild rollercoaster. The smuggler has style with grace, elegance and a tendency to throw his cargo in the most unlikely places. But little did he know at the time he'd unbeknownst to himself create the mythology of the century "Cocaine Bear!"
Forget what believe about bears and their preference for food. The movie takes an obscene stance and postulates that when bears take cocaine, they don't just party, they change into bloodthirsty monsters! It's time to say goodbye to Godzilla you've got a new queen in town. And the bear has a penchant for powdered substances.
The characters we have in our story, which includes the inept police officers along with the unlucky criminals and the innocent bystanders who were unable to get to a sack of newspaper, will keep you stunned. Their incompetence collectively is incredible to witness. If you're ever trying to find a laugh think of police officers Bob Springs and Officer Reba Mitchell working together to investigate unsolved crimes without shooting one another.
However, we mustn't forget our brave adventurers, Olaf as well as Elsa. We're not talking about the pair found in "Frozen." The two trekkers stumble across the treasures of Colombian quality, and in the blink of an eye one can even hear "Bearzilla," they become one of the main targets for the Cocaine Bear's insatiable hunger. Do you really need one more Disney princess when you have an aggressive, sniffing bear who is out on the run?
The movie strikes the perfect equilibrium between horror and comedy It makes you laugh for when you laugh and then grip your popcorn in fear the next. The body count rises faster than hair in your neck, and you'll find yourself cheering for every loss with great satisfaction. This is exactly like watching a National Geographic special hosted by Grim Reaper. Grim Reaper.
So, let's look at the final showdown. Imagine a mighty waterfall running in the background our family comprising Sari, Dee Dee, and Henry eager to face The Cocaine Bear. This is a battle of over a century, filled with explosives, roars from the bear, as well as enough white powder to take Tony Montana to shame. In the exact moment you think that the bear has been killed but it's then revived thanks to a cocaine explosion! It's a resurgence of epic proportions.
Yes "Cocaine Bear" may have some flaws. The editing style is as fast and jittery as a caffeine-induced squirrel it leaves you scratching at your desk and wonder if the reel is used secretly as scratching point. You needn't be worried, viewers, for the bear's CGI can be amazingly top quality. The bear is the star of the show regardless of whether those who edited the show appeared to feel a bit sated their own.
The movie is a mixture of double-crossings, tension, in addition to unexpected bonds. It's like mixing tequila with bear saliva--unconventional and unforgettable. When the show is over before you depart (blog post) the theater with a smirk on your face, be sure to remember that reviewer's last advice: Beware of feeding bears anything and particularly not drugs, or other hikers. Don't be fooled, it's not going to have a positive outcome for anyone.
So, grab your popcorn, buckle in, to get lost in the wild world of "Cocaine Bear." It's a cinematic adventure unlike anything else which will have you in amazement, and pondering the force of bears along with their secrets of partying potential.
