Cocaine Bear

In my wildest dreams I never thought I would be reviewing a film titled “Cocaine Bear”. It sounds like one of the midnight movies that was made for about $130 and is only attended by people on drugs. I believe I was the oldest person in the theater when I saw it. But let me tell you, I enjoyed “Cocaine Bear”. Directed by Elizabeth Banks it is a horror comedy about a cocaine heist that goes very wrong. When a shipment of the drug is dropped from an airplane into the wilderness a bear becomes a drug addict. You have the drug runners who are having family problems, some truant adolescents and a ranger who is hot for an environmentalist. There is a decent amount of gore but most of it is surreal. Funny and surprising, this film is surprisingly well done. I was entertained and surprised!
