A fair time-killer.
“Barb Wire” was pretty transparently designed as a showcase for both Pamela Anderson’s body (too “artificial” for my taste) and her newly-acquired martial arts skills (which, I must say, are quite remarkable). Other than that, it has nothing new to offer to the sci-fi/comic-book adventure genre, although it has a few (too few!) well-executed action sequences and a more professional look than thematically similar crap like “The Demolitionist”. (**)
My girlfriend liked it just as much as I did
Cheese. The key to enjoying this movie is not take it seriously! Don’t expect great art! It’s based on a comic book, it’s got guns and ‘splosions and Pamela Anderson pre-reduction. Waddaya want, Ingmar Bergman? It entertained me, and I didn’t have to use my brain once. I even bought a copy, it sits on the shelf between “Brief Encounter” and “Apocalypse Now”. Its miles better than the dreadful “The Mummy” or the unspeakably bad “Independence Day”.Okay, have a review. The plot is a shameless rip-off of Casablanca and makes no effort to hide it. It made me laugh, has some great dialogue, and is never actually slow. It’s OBVIOUS that the cast and crew had a brilliant time making it, and that really shows on screen. Steve Railsback is brilliant, as is the uniformly excellent Udo Kier.
And its got guns and ‘splosions and Pam!
