You can tell that Bear has been produced on a real shoestring budget. However, based on this, the cinematography is a bit rough sometimes but not bad and the actors do a solid job with the material that they are working with. The plot twist stretches the storyline a bit but when you consider the suspension of belief that has to be made for some of the absolutely ridiculous Hollywood offerings, the story here isn't completely unfeasible - especially if you've ever watched some of the CBS Reality real-life murder programmes.
The whole movie has a gritty feeling of real life with an equally realistic type of dialogue that normal people have. The action isn't bad either and quite believable based on the brevity and simplicity of any violent exchanges and the fact that they aren't ruined by the actors overplaying these scenes.
In summary I think all involved used what they had and put together a decent film well worth watching.

This movie shouldn't be my cup of tea. I'm pretty cynical and my favourite film genres are sci-fi and horror in that order. However, this film blew me away.
I don't understand all of the negative reviews concentrating on the CGI. It's supposed to be depicting an other-worldly realm between earth and heaven - what do you expect / want to see if you go to Heaven, grim city streets with alleys full of garbage and low-lifes? I found the imagery to be exactly what I would hope from heaven - endless possibilities bounded only by imagination - and it delivered that feeling.
As for the plot and the acting, I thought it was first-rate from start to finish.
If you still have a soul in this cynical world then I'm sure you'll like it - don't listen to the miserable horde.
