Well, the movie starts off nicely with some good music. But I have to admit that I wasn't really harboring much of any grand expectations to the movie. Sure, the "Cocaine Bear" movie was great, but the "Cocaine Shark" movie was truly abysmal, so I wasn't hopeful when I sat down to watch what writer Dustin Ferguson had to offer with "Cocaine Cougar".
Sure, I had never heard about the movie, prior to sitting down to watch it. But of course, with such a title, then the movie is worth checking out, if nothing else.
And let me just say that "Cocaine Cougar" is bad. So very, very bad.
The writing of Dustin Ferguson was rather simplistic. And it was a very bland, mundane, generic and laughable storyline. A bit strange how something like this actually gets green-lighted. But hey, as long as there is money to be made, I guess.
Needless to say that there wasn't a single familiar actor or actress on the cast list. Nor do I blame anyone for not wanting to get involved in something like this. The acting performances by the cast was wooden, rigid and not particularly convincing.
But wait, it gets better. The CGI rendered cougar in the movie, and that would be the animal not those Botox-infused and pseudo-melting women that were in the movie, looked abysmal. I have rarely seen CGI of this poor level in movies before, and it was just painful to witness.
Actually, the best thing about this travesty of a movie was its cover, which over-sold the movie a million times. There is no cougar like that in the movie, don't get your hopes up.
Do yourself a favor and stay well clear of "Cocaine Cougar", because it most definitely isn't worth the time, money or effort.
My rating of directors Dustin Ferguson, Andy Qualtrough and Erik Anthony Russo's 2023 movie lands on a one out of ten stars.
