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.

| 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.

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.

Made with a wafer-thin stylishness that thinks dressing the Congressionals like storm troopers is creative, Barb Wire plods along, following one pro forma scene with the next.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 14, 2001

A convoluted mess, but there have been worse.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jan 1, 2000

There's as much sheer work in this film as in films 10 times as good -- which is both encouraging and depressing, I suppose.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jan 1, 2000

Director David Hogan keeps the action moving and loaded with fights, gun battles and other action-trashy thrills.

Barb Wire isn't much when it comes to either deliberate or inadvertent humor.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 1, 2000

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?
