Inspired by the 1985 true story of a drug runner's plane crash, missing cocaine, and the black bear that ate it, this wild thriller 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.

Cocaine Bear Review

If you slap a title on a film with as much promise as ‘Cocaine Bear’, there had better be A) plenty of cocaine and B) a bear. Fortunately, this new pitch dark comedy delivers both––you’ll see more powder on screen than in a skiing competition and plentiful bear activity. This is far more fully ursine than, say, ‘The Edge’.
