(Fans of “The Americans” will no doubt enjoy seeing Russell and Martindale reunited onscreen, though with far less Cold War-era subtlety.) She may be a terrible shot, but she sure is confident. But the bear isn’t the only one to draw blood a few surprise killers keep things interesting, including the trigger-happy park ranger, which Martindale plays off with hilarious nonchalance.

Taking this premise and running with it fully into the depths of utter mayhem, the movie opens with a drug kingpin (the late Ray Liotta, in one of his final screen roles) dispensing his muscle Daveed (O’Shea Jackson Jr.) and his heartsick son Eddie (Alden Ehrenreich) in search of a massive amount of missing product.Īs more and more characters pull up to the ill-fated parking lot, including two sorely underprepared EMTs, it adds an endless string of potential victims for the bear’s drug-addled charges. It’s the quick key bump the historically sleepy February movie season needs.ĭirected by Banks and written by Jimmy Warden, “Cocaine Bear” is loosely inspired by the true story of a Black Bear (unfortunately nicknamed Pablo Eskobear) that died after ingesting a duffle bag of cocaine in 1985. It’s neither groundbreaking nor particularly smart, but it’s 95 minutes of over-the-top fun. Categorically undefinable by design, Elizabeth Banks’ outrageously grisly comedy uses a deep roster of talent for her (clever, but obvious) cash grab, serving A-list backing with B-movie appeal.
Though it may sound like the hottest gay bar in Medellín, the gayest thing about “Cocaine Bear” is Margo Martindale’s brazen flirtation with Jesse Tyler Ferguson. For a movie titled with all the sophistication of the phrase “search engine optimization,” the bloody action comedy “ Cocaine Bear” delivers on its promises.
