À propos de ce film

Inspired by the 1985 true story of a drug runner's plane crash, missing cocaine, and the black bear that ate it, this wild dark comedy finds an oddball group of cops, criminals, tourists and teens converging in a Georgia forest where a 500- pound apex predator has ingested a staggering amount of cocaine and gone on a coke-fueled rampage for more blow ... and blood. Cocaine Bear stars Keri Russell (The Americans), O'Shea Jackson, Jr. (Straight Outta Compton), Christian Convery-Jennings (Sweet Tooth), Alden Ehrenreich (Solo: A Star Wars Story), Jesse Tyler Ferguson (Modern Family), Brooklynn Prince (The Florida Project), Isiah Whitlock Jr. (BlacKkKlansman), Kristofer Hivju (Game of Thrones), Hannah Hoekstra (2019's Charlie's Angels) and Aaron Holliday (Sharp Objects), with Emmy winner Margo Martindale (The Americans) and Emmy winner Ray Liotta (The Many Saints of Newark). Directed by Elizabeth Banks (Charlie's Angels, Pitch Perfect 2) from a screenplay by Jimmy Warden (The Babysitter: Killer Queen), Cocaine Bear is produced by Oscar® winners Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse, The Mitchells vs. The Machines) for Lord Miller, Elizabeth Banks (Pitch Perfect franchise) and Max Handelman (Pitch Perfect franchise) for Brownstone Productions, Brian Duffield (Spontaneous) for Jurassic Party Productions and Aditya Sood (The Martian) for Lord Miller.

Notes et avis

The first 2 thirds of this movie really went well. After that, things became a bit clumsy with the script, but overall, for $4, I can't complain. Best line in the movie was in the rangers office when the forest ranger, a woman, who is after a male visitor, says, in response to said male visitors comment about a stuffed (mounted) beaver on the counter, "you gotta dust the beaver here, ranger" and she replies "yeah, I'm working on that" (paraphrasing both). I fell off my chair.

So much wasted potencial, funny at some time, B films at others, but weak storyline. the child actor who plays Harry is great as a comedy part. A film to watch on streaming, not good value for cinema.

Great movie! The scenery was beautiful, it was a nice blend of horror with its comedy moments. Nice way to relax after being productive all day.
