About this deal

She’s directed a couple other films to mixed response, but it’s clear that COCAINE BEAR is her baby. Having penned scripts for titles like "The Babysitter," "Underwater," "Love and Monsters," and "Spontaneous" (and having directed the latter), Duffield is definitely skilled at combining comedy with jaw-dropping horror.

Throw some nose candy into the mix, and it should come as no surprise that "Cocaine Bear" has been rated R for "bloody violence and gore, drug content, and language throughout. Directed by Elizabeth Banks, Cocaine Bear was inspired by the true tale of a 175-pound black bear found in the forests of Georgia in 1985 surrounded by 40 open containers of smuggled cocaine.

person, rightly disregards even a hint of internal growth in favor of working up the energy to push the film's content on the outside. behind the story, Elizabeth Banks' direction, key roles and actor performances, the bear in the film, and more. Meanwhile, after hikers Olaf ( Kristofer Hivju) and Elsa ( Hannah Hoekstra) have come across the bear, the outcome being something you’ll have to see for yourself.

The drugs are scattered all over the park, and they are also all over some of the people in the park. 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. But there is plenty of time that allows them to shine as actual actors who want to guarantee a good time. 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.Our very own Dominic Griffin had mixed opinions on the film, writing that "Cocaine Bear" has its moments while occasionally dropping the ball. In keeping with its horror-comedy vibe, "Cocaine Bear" was originally going to be directed by Radio Silence — the group comprised of Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, Tyler Gillett, and Chad Villella, three guys who've helmed similarly hilarious yet scary films like "Ready or Not" and "Scream 6. Now totally high on cocaine, the huge bear goes berserk and takes off on a hyperactive murder spree.

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. Director Elizabeth Banks teams with Oscar® winners Phil Lord and Chris Miller ("Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse") for a thrilling story inspired by the real events of a drug runner's 1985 plane crash, missing cocaine and the black bear that ate it. Directed by Elizabeth Banks, the horror comedy is now available to watch from the comfort of your own home.

The comedy horror film was just released on Prime Video this week and quickly became the most-watched movie on the streamer. Either way, there’s quite a few characters in this, as friends Eddie ( Alden Ehrenreich– Solo: A Star Wars Story) and Daveed ( O’Shea Jackson Jr– Den of Thieves), plus Eddie’s dad, Syd ( Ray Liotta– Black Bird), enter stage right, looking for the downed narcotics, and also thrown in is Sari ( Keri Russell– who co-starred with Matthew Rhys in The Americans, even though they don’t share screen time, here), daughter Dee Dee ( Brooklynn Prince– The LEGO Movie 2) and her friend, Henry ( Christian Convery), so everyone’s mixed up in this, as well as being on the run from a massive grizzly bear who… as we quickly learn, has stumbled upon some of the 20lb packages and ingested it accidentally, causing it to run riot.

However, Radio Silence eventually stepped away from the project, making room for another director skilled at comedy. Together, these weirdos, heroes, and crooks find themselves all banding together to survive the onslaught of the titular, crazed predator. 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.The characters are likewise uninteresting, but they are at least played with physical zeal to spare. However, Griffin had issues with the latter part of the movie, saying, "'Cocaine Bear' makes the same mistake a lot of movies playing in this darkly comic space tend to make. With a movie like "Cocaine Bear" — an over-the-top B-movie homage — you might not expect critics to sing its praises. They all have a range of knowledge when it comes to bears and drugs, which makes the movie that much more entertaining if you’re willing to lose yourself in outrageous scenarios. The critic went on to add, "'Cocaine Bear' ends too saccharine, too concerned with trying to say something encouraging in a movie otherwise unconcerned with such aims.
