Good opening scene. But aside from Keri Russell the acting is across the board subpar. Not terrible but just a little stiff. I don’t know the industry but there are so many actors desperate for work I kinda assume if the acting is generally bad someone is lazy. What’s crazy is Matthew Rhys has what looks like was merely a cameo. But he’s a great actor, who can do comedy. And I don’t think his career is so great that he’d be that expensive. If you can get him why waste him on a cameo rather than a major role?
Margo Martindale? I guess Liz Banks was a fan of THE AMERICANS. As well she should be, it was a great show.
Anachronism: Little girl has her nails painted all different colors. I don’t think that was a thing in the 80s. Like maybe a really little girl would do that. But a girl old enough to skip school and paint her nails for fashion wouldn’t have done it.
Aside from Keri Russell everyone looks was more late 90s than mid 80s. Especially the young punk with the nail polish.
I really like Keri Russell, she was fantastic on THE AMERICANS. But her accent is going in and out.
Also, 30 mins in and the movie is pretty boring. The fight scene in the bathroom didn’t make any sense. And as a fight scene was bland to boot. I’m seriously considering stopping watching. Just holding out hope it’s building to the cocaine bear wrecking shit. Pretty disappointed that Margo Martindale got attacked by the bear and is now walking off. That’s not what I signed up for when watching a movie called “Cocaine Bear.”
Jesse Tyler Ferguson’s death should have been funnier. And what park ranger thinks she can kill a bear with a hand gun? The guy getting shot in the head was right. But it’s like Elizabeth Banks knows what should go where. But doesn’t really know how to execute on it.
OMG the bear broke trough a window to grab the unlikable character. And then cut away. The movie is ‘Cocaine Bear.’ We’re here to see a bear high on cocaine killing the characters in creative ways. It’s like “Final Destination” but with a bear. How do you fuck this up? Show the bear killing the douche bags. That’s your entire job.
Michael Bay movies might suck. But at least Michael Bay knows the product he’s selling. Like it’s a series of set pieces and hopefully a good story holds it together. So far I’m halfway though and neither has happened.
How do you fuck up “Cocaine Bear”? All you have to do is have him do cocaine and be a bear. How complicated is that? It’s like 5-6 set pieces interrupted by a story. Except they cut the set pieces into nothing. And the story is boring.
The movie aspires to terrible. It’s not interesting enough to hate. It defines the word “blah.” I’m only finishing it cause I’m 20 mins till the end. And with credits that means more like 10.
