Reviews


70
Washington Post - Desson Thomson
David Hogan keeps the action moving and loaded with fights, gun battles and other action-trashy thrills. Lee is terrific.
70
Washington Post - Hal Hinson
Lee elevates herself from the lower echelon of mere international super-babedom to the loftier realm of pulp myth. She is "It" with an exclamation mark.
63
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
The filmmakers must have known they were not making a good movie, but they didn't use that as an excuse to be boring and lazy. Barb Wire has a high energy level, and a sense of deranged fun.
50
Austin Chronicle - Marc Savlov
It's a comic book movie in the broadest sense of the term, and although it's neither as emotionally resonant as "The Crow" nor as surreally goofy as "Tank Girl," Barb Wire still manages to get you going, Anderson Lee fan or not.

Los Angeles Times - Kenneth Turan
Ought to be disreputable fun. Instead it ends up, all its explosions and exposed flesh notwithstanding, rather inert.
