Better than spending an excruciating night with Quentin Tarantino and Paul Thomas Anderson, Cocaine Bear is as goofy and gory as its title promises. DoNatoBomb's review:
tin. There’s a bear, it does cocaine. People die, and you will laugh. Writer Jimmy Warden does his darndest with an absurd “When Coked-Out Animals Attack” scenario sorta based on a true story, blending creature feature wildness with a claws-out ‘80s comedy—for better and worse. What can feel like a mechanical monster movie finds humor in the macabre, focusing on graphic death scenes at a detriment to tonal unison between its extreme violence and darkly comedic giggles.
What suffers throughout this gonzo amalgamation of Coen Brothers-style character mapping and SYFY-level title gimmickry is a handle on tone, as the comedy pales compared to the action-horror sequences. Ehrenreich shines brightest as a depressed ex-drug dealer pulled back into business by his father , landing the most laugh-out-loud lines as a grieving widower dealing with a cocaine bear problem.
