Barb Wire Reviews

Every time it tries to approach the subject matter with sincerity, it just grows more unintentionally goofy.

| Original Score: 2/10 | Sep 9, 2020

A lemon of a comic book movie with an uninteresting heroine, bad acting, and a bland humorless premise...

| Mar 20, 2013

...a consistently inept and astonishingly dull actioner...

| Original Score: 0/4 | Feb 7, 2011

The irony of this style, with its high-swank grunge clutter, is that it's too dissociated to have coherence even as pop; we're always aware that we're watching sets being photographed.

| Original Score: C | Jul 7, 2010

The movie carries its cyberpunk variation right through to the end, and usually with enough wit and craziness to freshen the mix. Then, there is Pamela, whose tight, disciplined performance deserves more respect than it will almost certainly get.

Its main source is a comic book, but it might as well be a computer.

We used to complain about Hollywood travesties of great books; now we're reduced to kvetching about movies that cheapen the comic strips on which they're based.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Apr 27, 2007

his cartoonlike starring vehicle for Pamela Anderson Lee offers enough choreographed fight sequences, heavy artillery and fleeting glimpses of the star's august body parts to satisfy the raging hormones of its target young male audience.

The film's haphazardly edited, lacks narrative clout, and rambles on to a ludicrously extended conclusion.

There isn't a scene that Anderson-Lee walks through that didn't grab my attention.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Dec 18, 2004

The most inane and inept hootfest (or, for that matter, hooterfest) to hit the big screen since Showgirls.

After a while [the] novelty wears off.

The focus remains on Lee throughout, and (except for one flashback scene, in which we see the young, compassionate woman she once was) she pretty much delivers.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jun 5, 2002
