Barb Wire

MPAA Rating: R

Entertainment: +1

Content: -3

Barb Wire (Pamela Anderson) is a female Mad Max, gun-toting, draped in ammo and spilling out of her black leather outfits. The year is 2017, and it's the middle of the Second Civil War. All cities are under martial law, except Steel Harbor, which is where Barb runs her own bar. The war is between the federal government and freedom resistance fighters. Barb used to be a freedom fighter but now is staying neutral. Then her ex-lover resurfaces, and Barb agrees to help overthrow the government. This corny, amateurish film is very tiresome.

Time and time again Anderson's breasts are shown in full view. When she is not falling out of her clothes, undressing or taking a bath, she is prancing around in brief leather underwear. She pretends to be a prostitute and dances at a topless bar. In one disgusting scene, a naked woman with electrodes attached to her body is tortured and shocked to death. Non-stop violence includes shooting, fist fighting and genitals crushed. Avoid BARB WIRE.
