The last section was ok but first hour and a half were terrible and pointless. It's like people don't know how to make movies anymore, they think you can just come up with a premise and plot outline that sounds good and actual filmmaking is irrelevant.
Cocaine Bear at least looks like a good trashy movie.
So I managed to watch the entire movie on Amazon. I agree it's very slow and certainly very European. The first hour was a little dull but kept watching because I knew better things were coming. It really livened up at the Captain's dinner! I could watch that scene and the next one again and again. Those scenes made the movie in my eyes. The rest of the movie was very enjoyable to watch but the ending was just too strange for me. However, I did enjoy it overall and personally wouldn't call it a bad movie. It only cost $8 to buy on Amazon and was certainly worth the money compared to the $20+ you have to pay for a new Hollywood piece of crud.
