REVIEW: Director Elizabeth Banks’ loosely-based-on-a-true-story tale of a cocaine-huffing bear ripping likable actors to pieces in the woods knows exactly what it is.
stuff: We’re hear to see a man get disemboweled, bottoms up, while suspended high up a tree. The pleasure’s in the crass, goopy excitement of it. It’s kind of a put-on — there’s something off about movies with bustling, name-brand casts and healthy budgets cosplaying as genuine B-movie fare — but the movie gets by on being surprisingly blood-soaked where it counts. The CGI bear is something of a mess at times, hyperreal and cartoonish by turns. But this only really helps the movie’s point.
It brandishes its inconsistent quality like a badge of honor. It knows what it’s doing when it mixes’s sincerity with Margo Martindale getting bear-scratched across the ass. The trio of veteran character actors keep the movie on its feet by being just the right amount of reckless, which saves some of the other supporting roles from spinning their wheels for too long.
