Barb Wire Review - 7/10 Rating

Barb Wire is unapologetically a product of the 90s—loud, stylish and mostly running on attitude. Pamela Anderson is the entire marketing campaign and the film knows it. Beneath the leather and explosions, there is basically Casablanca hiding in there, which somehow makes it even more entertaining. It is not subtle and not especially deep, but it has enough cult energy to remain memorable. A gloriously chaotic Dark Horse adaptation.
