Barb Wire Reviews
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.

The movie is predominantly a sexual tease, albeit one without appreciably more nudity than you can see in 1968's Barbarella.

Buxom babes, big explosions, and black leather. Hey, pal, what more do you want?
