A rich, lush image that just misses out on the very top tier of fine detail, but remains overall simply a gorgeous picture. But to finish on a niggle...like Disney's 4K disc releases, digital versions of the film come with a Dolby Vision grade to compliment their HDR10 base layer and no matter how great the image currently looks - and it does look very, very good - it's difficult not to wonder if the inclusion of the alternative HDR grade wouldn't have added just that last little bit of sparkle... And much hilarity ensues as the fairly serious combination of a worried mother looking for her missing children, an angry drug dealer looking for his stash and a dogged detective hoping to make an arrest clashes head-on with the idea of a huge wild bear off its nut on cocaine. There are plenty of laughs as the bear rips limbs from torsos, young children find a bag of coke, identify it as cocaine and instantly sample it to see what happens, and Daveed and Eddie take a very emotional hostage to lead them to where the drugs are, but despite the movie being enjoyable, superbly shot and the CGI bear not as off-putting as it could have been, there is the feeling that it doesn’t quite go far enough. Turn off your mind, relax, and let the absurdity reign with this gory dark comedy, which looks and sounds great on Blu-ray.The story, then, is practically nonexistent, and that's what the film wants: any semblance of forward narrative motion is due only to the progression Directed by Elizabeth Banks (Charlie's Angels, Pitch Perfect 2) from a screenplay by Jimmy Warden (The Babysitter: Killer Queen), Cocaine Bear is produced by Oscar® winners Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse, The Mitchells vs. The Machines) for Lord Miller, Elizabeth Banks (Pitch Perfect franchise) and Max Handelman (Pitch Perfect franchise) for Brownstone Productions, Brian Duffield (Spontaneous) for Jurassic Party Productions and Aditya Sood (The Martian) for Lord Miller. The film is executive produced by Robin Mulcahy Fisichella, Alison Small and Nikki Baida. Extras start off with a feature commentary with Director/Producer Elizabeth Banks and Producer Max Handelman. It’s a decent talk that goes over the inspiration for the movie, casting the film, working with the different actors, the locations, the effects work and quite a bit more. Elsewhere in the woods, two kids - Dee Dee (Brooklynn Prince) and her pal Henry (Christian Convery) – have skipped school so that they could go paint. They come across the cocaine and try it out, and soon enough Dee Dee is missing and Henry is literally up a tree. Liz and a bear expert Peter (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) come across them, but it doesn’t go well. When Dee Dee’s mom , Sari (Kari Russell), realizes her daughter has skipped class, she heads out to look for her.

It is infinitely clean, noise is barely evident, and the encode work is spotless. As of this writing, I’ve been reviewing movies for nearly twenty five years. In that time I’ve seen some truly great films, some good ones, bad ones and some awful ones. So what was I to think when a movie with the title Cocaine Bear was released? My knee jerk reaction says it has “guilty pleasure” written all over it. But the film does have roots in history. Yes, the events in this film actually happened (to an extent, I’m sure a lot of creative liberties were taken). I recall an interview with director Elizabeth Banks who remarked that “…this could be a career ender.” And she’s right. But I will say that some of the more enjoyable films out there are those that poke fun at themselves and/or their genre. Yes, The Meg, Crawl and Lake Placid all share similarities to this one so if any of those were up your alley – you’ll be high on life.
