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.
"Inspired by a strange real-life story from the 80s, 'Cocaine Bear' has a simple premise: a drug trafficker (Ray Liotta from Goodfellas in his last movie) drops from a plane an enormous load of cocaine, which falls into the claws of a 500-pound black bear that ends up triggering a series of murders. Directed by Elizabeth Banks (Charlie's Angels), the film is something of an uneven ride, but it manages to maintain the delicate balance between violence and comedy of its absurd situation. At worst, it's a wild romp that will satisfy fans of ridiculous B-movie fare."
