I'd never heard of this film, but liked the synopsis.
Boy, am I glad I did. What an absolutely brilliant movie. Sean Patrick flannery gives an absolute acting masterclass. He is simply brilliant. The script is excellent. Thought provoking, clever ands draws on key aspects of Christian thology. From a plot perspective, it provides twists and revelations that keep the momentum going. The direction and sound keep the atmosphere just right.
Im an atheist, so I saw the film for the entertainment and intellectual exercise that it is. Bit as a religious exercise, which many seem to have interpreted it as.

Having seen the excellent cast, the previews I had high hopes for this film.
Billed as a comedy, Cocaine Bear fails to deliver any real laughs. Despite some great aspects of the film, this is it's great failure.
How banks could take such a great cast, a bonkers story based very loosely on a stranger-than-fiction historical event and fail so badly to make the film fit any genre is beyond me.
The cast make the best if a bad situation, the special bear effects are mostly excellent and the music is fine.
In the end, it not scary, not funny, and, well bot anything really.
It's just a big fat wasted opportunity and 90 minutes of your life that you will never get back.

Comparisons with the John Wick series are inevitable.
Two things stand out about The Continenantal that improve on the films.
The first is the whole 70s vibe. It is so comprehensive in The Continental. While many period shows try to do the same, this series really brings the era to life. From the clothing, New York City at its worst, the aqrsome classic music of the time etc. You really feel luke you are back in that grungy 70s New York.
The second difference is that, despite retaining many of the John Wick features, such as brilliantly choreographed and styalised violence, The Continental is quite character driven. This is a weakness of the movies, where even Wick himself is barely fleshed out as a character.
Great acting, direction, scripting, wardrobe and sets/CGI.
As for Mel Gibson, well, he's just terrific.l in a role that had his name written all over it.
