As ludicrous as the premise sounds, Cocaine Bear is just a lot of fun - but it doesn't skimp on the gore, either, so prepare for that R rating accordingly. As a final film for Ray Liotta - it was a decent send-off.

Its madness levels drop the moment the drug-fueled mammal from its title is off screen, but "Cocaine Bear" lives up to its outrageous premise just well enough to earn a place on the cult-hit shelf.

Elizabeth Banks knows how to deliver black comedy violence and she knows her way around a good gag. The film both gains and losses points for a rather aggressive amount of queer subtext because, well, why the hell is it subtext? You think our minds aren't ready for the Dada knife gang absolutely demolishing each other in bed? You just showed us a woman faceplant concrete at 60km/h, we can handle more than one type of bear in your Cocaine Bear movie.

Cocaine Bear, what a title with so much potential to be a wild ride. Unfortunately, to my disappointment, it was lacking in all aspects and felt incredibly mid. I wish this had a better director that injects style, humour, and energy to make it stand out. No scenes were thrilling enough, not crazy enough, and didn't leave anything to glee over after it ended. Although the best scene in the film was the ambulance chase, even though it is in the trailer, and while speaking about positives, there were some decent death scenes, but that's it. It was strange how this film tries to have a heartfelt message towards the end, even though this should have been just a schlocky good time.
