Synopsis

Pamela Anderson is Barb Wire, the sexiest, toughest woman in Steel Harbor—a city marked by chaos and crime—providing a home for a new kind of mercenary. If you've got a problem, Barb Wire is the solution. She'll use any dangerous weapon (including her body) to take what she wants, crossing the line for no man. When her ex–boyfriend, Axel Hood, hits town, Barb is the only one who can get him out alive. Will Barb help the man who once betrayed her? There's only one thing you can be sure of... she can get anything you want, for a price. Are you ready to pay...?

Review

Imagine a futuristic Casablanca, but with a silicone–enhanced Bogart packing automatic weapons, and you have, in a C–cup, the plot of this camp showcase for TV sex symbol Pamela Anderson. In this adaptation of the comic, she plays a former soldier–now–nightclub proprietess who's content to wait out the ongoing Second American Civil War. Her peace is shattered when an ex (Temuera Morrison) walks in, on the run because of his association with a freedom fighter. He enlists her aid to help them escape. On a certain level—as a piece of kitsch—Barb Wire is somewhat enjoyable, but it's all just rather flat (the only thing not flat is... never mind). Adding to the camp value is Lee's nonexistent acting ability; in fact, she's surrounded by several equally bad actors not to make her stand out as much. The production values are of the "always raining because it looked cool in Blade Runner" variety, and the action scenes are competently done.
