The irony of this style, with its high-swank grunge clutter, is that it's too dissociated to have coherence even as pop; we're always aware that we're watching sets being photographed.

The movie carries its cyberpunk variation right through to the end, and usually with enough wit and craziness to freshen the mix. Then, there is Pamela, whose tight, disciplined performance deserves more respect than it will almost certainly get.
Hal Hinson, Washington Post
Rotten
Its main source is a comic book, but it might as well be a computer.
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
Rotten
The film's haphazardly edited, lacks narrative clout, and rambles on to a ludicrously extended conclusion.
Derek Adams, Time Out
Rotten
Made with a wafer-thin stylishness that thinks dressing the Congressionals like storm troopers is creative, Barb Wire plods along, following one pro forma scene with the next.
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times
