Cocaine Bear 4K 2023

Initially, there was a lot of skepticism about this film. The synopsis suggested a passable b-movie, as confirmed by veteran filmmaker Ray Liotta. But, the spectacle of the trailer, the epicness of the action sequences, and finally the cocaine-addled bear changed my mind. And so it turned out: Cocaine Transit fails furiously! A huge amount of white powder does not go into the nostrils of the campers, but ends up scattered in the surrounding woods. This blunder upsets a middle-ranking businessman, so our tycoon (the years have changed) sends a couple of 'hexenbiests' to the woods in order to collect the lost coca. Unfortunately, a pensioner didn't take into account the absurdity of the situation...

Events are moving, to put it bluntly. If Cocaine Bear had been limited to the central characters, it would have been a depressing buddy movie, where the raging feline chases these very Ray Liotta's sidekicks. Luckily the movie is a solid comedy...bloody hogwash? For it can't be categorized as horror, and the R rating is okay for the plot drive. A big plus is the abundance of all sorts of freaky characters. Especially delivers the fiercely Ice Cub-like character of David the bum, and of course Ray Liotta himself, which once again proved that you can build on years of charisma to create an image of a flamboyant bandit not of the first sort.

The coolest thing is that this whole parade of curiosities, in terms of people, interact with each other in perfect harmony. The characters are somewhere clichéd, a couple of kids, a park ranger, a fat detective, and of course the aforementioned Liotta, but it's all so bright and relaxed that as soon as the blood forms on the screen, and it pours right over the edge here, you squeal in delight. Seriously, the rabid violence in the film is not stingy at all, there is a lot of it, and it is juicy.

Comrade Bear also works as a kind of meme, though he is completely computer-generated, but he delivers no worse than the squealing and running people running away from him. From which we conclude: Cocaine Bear is a 100% black humor comedy with everything that industry geeks love so much: blood, thrash, serious-sounding idiocy, grotesque, and a certain Happy Ending. So be sure to take your time, it's a good movie.
