Cocaine Bear

a review by r96sk

Some good death sequences aside, 'Cocaine Bear' largely bores.

I do like how many of the characters go out, in ways that are quite creative in fairness. The rest of the 95 minutes though? Underwhelming. There are a few minorly amusing moments scattered in there, though for the majority it kinda just meanders through its run time; whilst watching, I could feel myself losing interest fairly regularly throughout.

The cast didn't do anything for me, either. Keri Russell and Brooklynn Prince are alright, though they and the rest don't provide anything worth remembering. They, naturally, aren't assisted well by the rest of the movie, the comedy is quite weak and the characters aren't made all that intriguing.

It just has enough about it that I can see it working for some viewers in terms of mindless entertainment. I'm all for flicks that do that, but this one didn't really work me personally.
