Elizabeth Banks Gets Audiences High on Violence in The Blood-Soaked Dark Comedy ‘Cocaine Bear’
Truth may be stranger than fiction (one only has to look at the last decade or so to confirm that) but who really cares about the truth behind the real story in a movie like Cocaine Bear?
Audiences need no prompting to know there are movies based on true events and there are those inspired by them. Cocaine Bear makes no secret of its intention to place itself firmly in the latter category, and it’s the better for its decision to take the true story of a bear’s death by cocaine overdose in 1985 and transform it into a darkly hilarious odyssey of those who are caught up in its path.
