Come on! The trailer does not make me want to see it. Although I believe this is Ray Liotta's last film work. I think they are operating on the 'Snakes on a Plane' theory people will show up for the catchy title.
I mentioned I might watch this to a young vol at Phish and she said it was ‘stupid funny’. She was spot on with that review.
You get exactly what you think you might get with this, plus more. There are several entwining story arcs of characters in reach of cocaine bear. Those arcs are funny, akin to a classic psycho killer 80s film - the suspense is ‘who’s gonna die?’
It’s a splatter fest from the start. Lots of amputated legs. Some outrageously funny moments, one that gave me the best lol I can remember of late for a movie.
Keri Russell is great in this.
Snakes on a Plane is a good comparison, but I’d put this a notch better than that. Cocaine Bear knows that it’s gratuitous and just goes for it in an honest no apologies way.
It is dedicated to Liotta.
D00M recommended only if you’re curious. If not, you won’t get on board with this. I was surprised at how entertained I was.
