Apparently this was inspired by seeing a tweet about the actual cocaine bear, and I'm not surprised - it feels like a first draft tossed out over a weekend that never progresses past its 140-character equivalent. You never care about any of the characters, partly because the dialogue is so bad and partly because hardly any of them act consistently or logically (neither does the bear, even for a cocaine bear). It never builds up any steam either, it just jumps between various random set-ups. It has some practical gore in it but a bunch of CG gore too and there's always a CG bear involved, plus it's often executed very cartoonishly, so the whole thing ends up feeling more like Shanghai Soccer or Man Vs Bee than, say, Tremors to pick even a mild example. All you really need to know about it is that they chose White Lines and Just Can't Get Enough for needle drops. It's one of those fake, sanitised 'b-movies' that thinks having a catchy title is enough.
Rating: Weak.
