COCAINE BEAR

FRI 24 FEB // CINEMA

A 500-pound black bear goes on a coke-fuelled rampage. If that doesn’t get you excited, you’re either a well-balanced individual or you don’t like cinema. Partly based on a true story (the real bear quickly died after swallowing 34 kg of lost drugs), Elizabeth Banks (Pitch Perfect 2, Charlie’s Angels) directs this robust action comedy. It stars Keri Russell (The Americans, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker), O’Shea Jackson, Jr (Straight Outta Compton, Obi-Wan Kenobi), Jesse Tyler Ferguson (Modern Family) and Brooklynn Prince (The Florida Project).

A drug smuggler’s plane crashes in the woods and an oddball group of cops, criminals, tourists and teens search for it – not realising who has got there first.
