Cocaine Bear
Kokainowy miś
Zainspirowany prawdziwą historią z 1985 roku o katastrofie samolotu handlarza narkotyków, kokainie i niedźwiedziu, który ją zjadł. Film opowiada o dziwacznej grupie gliniarzy, przestępców, turystów i nastolatków zbierających się w lesie w Georgii, gdzie 500-kilogramowy drapieżnik połknął oszałamiającą ilość kokainy i wpadł w szał napędzany kokainą.

You’re walking through a quiet Georgia forest when a 500-pound black bear, wired on cocaine, charges straight for you. That wild image is the launchpad for Cocaine Bear, a gleefully over-the-top ride that blends horror, comedy, and chaos in equal measure. Loosely inspired by a strange real-life incident from 1985, the film asks a simple question—what if that bear went on a rampage instead?
From the jump, the movie makes no attempt to play it safe. Director Elizabeth Banks steers the story with full awareness of its absurdity, embracing the ridiculous premise while keeping the energy high. Once the bear shows up, the film rarely slows down, delivering a mix of shocking gore and slapstick moments that walk a surprisingly fine line.
The bear itself is a highlight. The CGI sells both the menace and the absurd humor, making this unpredictable predator the true star. One moment it’s terrifying, the next it’s the source of an out-loud laugh, and the visual effects team makes both work.
The human side of the cast has plenty to offer too. Keri Russell grounds the mayhem with a dose of humanity, Alden Ehrenreich proves his comedic timing, and Ray Liotta brings a manic, scene-stealing energy that fits perfectly with the film’s tone.
There’s even a bit of thematic weight beneath the insanity. Between the chaos and carnage, the story hints at the consequences of human recklessness, with the bear almost feeling like a natural force striking back. It’s not deep, but it gives the madness an extra layer.
Still, the movie has its rough patches. The large ensemble means some characters fade into the background, and a few side plots pull focus from the bear’s antics. The pacing can dip when it strays too far from its main attraction.
This isn’t a film for everyone. The humor can be crude, the violence is graphic, and subtlety is nowhere in sight. But for those ready to lean into its outrageous concept, it’s a blast—especially with a lively crowd and a drink in hand.
If you’re looking for an unfiltered, rowdy good time, Cocaine Bear delivers exactly what it promises. It’s not here to win awards for nuance—it’s here to make you laugh, wince, and maybe even cheer for the bear.
