With the success of Cocaine Bear in the theaters earlier this year, it was only a matter of time before other animals fell victim to narcotics and B-movie excess.

A feeding frenzy of hilarious lo-budget B-movie camp!

3/10

I love a good noir as much as the next cinephile, but it isn’t done correctly here. Nor is this what the audience for this kind of title wants.

1.5/5

Between all the embarrassingly indecipherable accents from actors, usage of random B-roll, and bottom-of-the-barrel horror noir storytelling, Cocaine Shark sinks like Titanic 666.

I generally find it admirable when people make films even if they don't have the budget. "The Evil Dead" and "Bad Taste" came about that way. But here's the difference between those films and "Cocaine Shark": Raimi and Jackson not only had talent, but were also able to attract investors for their projects. This level—the job of a producer—is completely lacking in "Cocaine Shark." Director Mark Polonia boasts about making zero-budget films and has over 100 under his belt. That would be impressive if there were any learning curve or a desire to improve quality. Instead, he's turned his lack of budget into his trademark and delivered a "film" that makes me think to myself: I can make "Cocaine Shark" better with my iPhone and enough time. And I know how difficult it is to put a film together. "Cocaine Shark" doesn't fail because of money. It fails because of the laziness of its director and co-stars in wanting to go the extra mile and make the best possible film. Every YouTube video from 2023 boasts better technical quality. Not to mention the script—even in the US, there are public libraries where you can find specialist literature on screenwriting. I could complain endlessly, but it's pointless anyway. Polonia has found its niche producing thumbnails for Tubi and the like. It's their own fault if they click on them.
