2017. Der zweite US-Bürgerkrieg ist auf dem Höhepunkt. In Steel Harbor betreibt die amazonenhafte Barb Wire ihre Hammerheadbar. Gelegentlich verdient sie sich auch ein paar Extrascheine als Kopfgeldjägerin. Eines Tages taucht Ex-Lover Alex auf und bittet Barb um Hilfe. Er und Dr. Armstrong verfügen über brisante Informationen und wollen vor der brutalen Kongressarmee ins sichere Kanada fliehen. Aber Barb denkt gar nicht daran, ihrem Verflossenen zu helfen – bis der sadistische Colonel Prycer die Bar verwüstet und ihren blinden Bruder ermorden lässt. (Verleiher-Text)

Anyone from the audience who complains about the level of Judge Dredd should watch this gem of a comic adaptation first. It is quite possible that Judge Dredd himself would then rise to unimaginable heights. It's a typical B-movie production that uses Pamela Anderson's silicone-enhanced chest as the biggest attraction for the viewers. The plot is completely ordinary, without any unexpected twists, and the execution is below average. There is a noticeable lack of impressive scenes, and the budget was clearly limited. It is best to forget about this comic adaptation as quickly as possible. Pamela's performance does not deserve more than 15% of the overall impression.

Barb Wire ist kein Klassiker, weder in Comics, noch im Film. Er ist eine relativ neue Figur, die ursprünglich ab 1993 bei Dark Horse veröffentlicht wurde. Und der Film selbst ist ein typisches Produkt seiner Zeit, perfektes Material für Pamela-Anderson-Fans. Die anderen haben keinen Grund, ihre Zeit mit ihm zu verschwenden.

It’s stupid and poorly directed, but there are still a few clever ideas to be found. It’s definitely not one of the worst films of all time, it has far too cool of a protagonist for that, as well as surprisingly well-shot action, and most importantly, a healthy dose of satire and self-parody. Pamela Anderson stylishly delivers her lines while her long hair flies in the air as coolly as she does in her sexy leather outfit. The opening water dance alone is worth watching. The plot is absolutely empty and uninteresting, but nothing else can be expected. That said, the portrayal of the USA after the second civil war looks quite interesting, and the panoramic shots of the distant smokestacks of a destroyed city slightly mirror those from Blade Runner. Decent mindless entertainment, with Pamela Anderson adding one star. Her best role.

I got exactly what I wanted. Pamela Anderson. I simply felt nostalgia from my childhood, when I was in love with Pamela. Not quite in the style of Borat, but puberty does its thing. And so I enjoyed this film, especially because its course is very B-movie-esque. That striptease at the beginning is awesome. Too bad it’s at the beginning.
