Review of Cocaine Bear

Cocaine Bear (2023)
10/10
Unexpected incredible funny movie that do not insult intelligence
24 February 2023
The story is very simple; a cocaine shipment falls in the wrong place (a National Park) and a bear eat it and become very very excited and violent. Obviously the drug dealers are looking for it; but there a couple of kids lost and their mother trying to find them.

To my surprise; originally looked like a campy B horror movie; it was a really a very well acted comedy (well a black one) with some very violent scenes and impressive (and very gory) special effects.

Based on real events; the movie (obviously many things are imagined) the movie tris to avoid the DUMB POEPLE humor but using not good but not really that bad characters.

O'Shea Jackson Jr. Is incredible funny as drug dealer that try to look more bad that really is. Alden Ehrenreich is also good as a gay man sweeping because of his lost lover. Ray Liotta in his last performance is the more serious but still very good.

But there also a lot secondary characters that make the movie even funnier. The ambulance chase scene is outstanding but there several others almost as good.

In brief: there is some gore but the is really really fun to watch and never boriing.
