Since its release, Barb Wire has attracted a cult following. The film was ranked in the bottom 20 of the Stinkers' "100 Years, 100 Stinkers" list, which noted the 100 worst movies of the 20th century, at #19. īarb Wire holds a 27% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 37 reviews (10 positive, 27 negative), with the consensus stating that " Barb Wire could've been fun camp, but Pamela Anderson can't deliver her lines with any dramatic or comedic impact". Janet Maslin of The New York Times criticized Anderson's performance, comparing her to Barbie and Barbarella. Similarly to Ebert, Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly commented on the film's aping of the Casablanca plot and its "teasing, hollow 'naughtiness'", but further said that the film is lacking in energy. Barb Wire has a high energy level, and a sense of deranged fun". Roger Ebert pointed out that the film's plot was identical to that of Casablanca and derided the low-brow attempts at sensuality, but praised the cast and crew's approach to the material: "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.
