Every so often there comes along a film that makes you wonder what genre of film it actually is meant to be. Well one of those films has just been released and heck even the internet doesn't know what genre of film this is meant to be since i've seen it listed as a thriller to an action comedy to a horror comedy and so then join me as I review the film that lets you know what type of film it is just by the title alone with the film in question being called simply just "Cocaine Bear" enjoy.
The plot of this film when tons of drugs are lost somewhere in the woods a drug runner has to find them only to find that whoever has taken the drugs isn't human at all. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us n this very film was in all honesty just as crazy and insane as you'd expect it to be given the films title that is inn my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Starring in this film is Keri Russell as Sari , O'Shea Jackson Jr. as Daveed and Alden Ehrenreich as Eddie. Also starring in this film is Christian Convery as Henry , Brooklynn Prince as Dee Dee , Isiah Whitlock Jr. as Bob , Margo Martindale as Ranger Liz , Ray Liotta as Syd , Jesse Tyler Ferguson as Peter , Aaron Holliday as Stache , Kristofer Hivju as Olaf Kristoffer , Hannah Hoekstra as Elsa , Ayoola Smart as Officer Reba , Kahyun Kim as Beth , Scott Seiss as Tom and Matthew Rhys as Andrew C. Thornton II.
Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good. With alot pf this films cast turning in some good performances for the most part since you do get a few actors in this film who just don't turn in good or even passable performances and that really does bring down the overall quality of the acting in this film.
Doing the CGI for this film is Clear Angle Studios , Exceptional Minds , Halon Entertainment , Rising Sun Pictures and Weta FX. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really good with the films CGI bear being the best effect in the whole entire film but with that being said the film does use some really obvious CGI doubles which do stand out by quite a mile.
This film is very loosely based on the true story of a bear that snorted a ton of drugs back in the early to mid nineteen eighties. I say loosely since this film does indeed take some very creative liberties with the story like for example the fact that the bear never went on a killing spree and as as far as I can tell the only people who were looking for the drugs were the local police department but what is true is the fact that Andrew C. Thornton II did infact die in the manor that is shown in this film but as far as I can tell it is the only thing that's true that's represented in this film.
Where as most films like this one take themselves far to seriously this film as the opposite problem in that it doesn't take itself seriously enough. Combining a comedy with any other genre is always a hard task because if you lean far to much either way you risk the film becoming unbalanced and that is the case with this film since it takes it's comedy more seriously then it does being a horror film which means that when a kill does happen it's not as effect as it perhaps could have been as the characters are nine times out of ten still in the middle of telling a joke.
As a comedy this film does work really well since there alot of really good jokes in this film but that's what you get when you have the pair of Phil Lord and Christopher Miller producing your film. Since they have a very good sense of humor and when you add in the fact that the films director and other producer Elizabeth Banks can be funny of course your going to get a film that has alot of really good jokes in it which makes it all the more painful when this film tells a really bad joke which sadly it does quite often.
Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and thirty minuets and twenty eight seconds. Which id the absolutely perfect running time for a film lime this one to have since this film doesn't have alot their interms of either plot or story to cover anything that's even anywhere close to being two hours long but at the same time with this film being as short as it is it does mean that all of it's characters can;t be fully developed because the film really has to reach the next plot point.
So now then since this is a horror film that means that I have ti actually talk about the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this film are in all honesty pretty good. Altho they do get very repetitive with the type of kills that they have since all they boil down is the bear either scratching or eating people which is good for one or two kills but when the vast majority of the kills are done in that way it does get a little bit boring to watch in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Overall I can't say that this film is better the Winnie The Pooh: Blood And Honey since that film was at least entertaining in it's concept and idea but I will admit that out of those two films this one is the better made film tho n my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that means that this very film earns itself a grand old score of exactly a 6.5 out of 10 from me.
Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images from this film being Google Images simply because of the fact Google Images actually has alot of images from this film up on Google Images and plus pretty much much all of the images that I personally found on Google Images were all fairly high quality and as well as being as fairly high definition and so then horror fans we ends this review as we always freaking do with our one and true freaking goddess Elvira wishing us all some very freaking unpleasant dreams indeed.
