Cocaine Bear [2023]

Product Information

In the Georgia forest, a 500-pound apex predator has ingested a staggering amount of cocaine and gone on a coke-fueled rampage for more blow. Directed by Elizabeth Banks, the horror comedy is now available to watch from the comfort of your own home. First up, there's Keri Russell, best known for playing Russian spy Elizabeth Jennings in "The Americans" and the titular character in J.

As our own Kevin Fraser reported last year, the true story goes like this: “In 1985, convicted drug smuggler Andrew Thornton was on a smuggling run from Columbia and had dumped several packages full of cocaine before bailing from the plane himself. Also, while it’s great to see Ray Liotta, and especially in what was his last-completed film role, just a week before he passed away on May 26th 2022, bar an early scene, he doesn’t turn up again until the last third. Griffin was especially impressed with the middle of the movie, writing, "It's here that [Elizabeth] Banks comes alive, channeling her inner Sam Raimi. In other words, if you're in the mood for a movie where a bear does coke and kills a lot of people — and you aren't expecting a masterpiece — you'll probably enjoy all the madness on display. The story was reported on by The New York Times, and now, this larger-than-life tale has finally gotten its crazy big-screen adaptation.Cocaine Bear is now available to stream on your laptop, connected TV, tablet or phone through the Prime Video app. Elizabeth Banks clearly needs a directing hit, following the dire cock-up that was the 2019 Charlie’s Angels reboot. Universal Pictures Home Entertainment will release on 4K Blu-ray Elizabeth Banks' Cocaine Bear (2023), starring Keri Russell, Alden Ehrenreich, O'Shea Jackson Jr. I can only imagine they’d gone in the wrong screen, and it was then that they sat up and paid attention! And once that titular apex predator starts snorting that coke, things get bloody — very, very bloody.

On the acting side of things, you know Banks from "The Hunger Games" franchise, the "Pitch Perfect" series, and projects like 2017's "Power Rangers," "Modern Family," and "The LEGO Movie. He loves venturing into lesser-known exploitation films of the 70s and being introduced to new movies.Our very own Dominic Griffin had mixed opinions on the film, writing that "Cocaine Bear" has its moments while occasionally dropping the ball.

We're sure "Cocaine Bear" will continue to snort lines and make mad stacks at the box office in the upcoming weeks, proving audiences love monster movies, original ideas, and animals who happen to be drugged out of their minds.

Straight Outta Compton), Jesse Tyler Ferguson ( Modern Family), Kristofer Hivju ( Game of Thrones), Kahyun Kim ( American Gods), Christian Convery ( Sweet Tooth), Brooklynn Prince ( The Florida Project), and newcomer Scott Seiss.

Just like the titular bear is absolutely loaded with coke, "Cocaine Bear" is absolutely loaded with talent. Soon after, wildlife activist Peter ( Jesse Tyler Ferguson– who just reminded me of Bo Selecta) and park ranger Liz ( Margo Martindale) are dancing around each other, but will their love come to fruition in this turbulent time?The film stars Keri Russell( Antlers), Margo Martindale ( The Americans), Ray Liotta ( Goodfellas), Alden Ehrenreich ( Solo: A Star Wars Story), O’Shea Jackson Jr. Anyone familiar with her acting roles is aware of her natural comedic timing and that talent shines in tone and pacing here. For the week that ended on April 22nd, Universal Pictures Home Entertainment's Cocaine Bear topped both the Blu-ray-only and overall packaged media charts in its debut. David Sims of The Atlantic, on the other hand, wasn't very impressed, saying, "'Cocaine Bear' could've been a triumph if the jokes landed, but the zingers just aren't up to the mayhem. Oh, and like how I first saw a trailer for Cocaine Bear before Violent Night, and how it made me laugh my head off just from the trailer, I got a similar feeling from a trailer before this, for The Strays, which is like The Incredible Journey, but for adults.
