Consensus: It's no Terminator, but for those willing to suspend disbelief and rational thought, Timecop provides limited sci-fi action rewards.
Runtime: 1 hr 48 mins
Genre: Science-Fiction/Fantasy
Synopsis: In the year 2004 a corrupt politician is secretly using a time travel device to manipulate history and financial markets and eliminate any who get in his way. When a cop catches on to his scheme... [More]
Starring: Jean-Claude Van Damme, Ron Silver, Mia Sara, Bruce McGill
Director: Peter Hyams
For the most part, Hyams' lackluster direction and the repetitive quality of the action sequences squander an intriguing premise and impressive production design, leaving few moments that elicit the sort of 'Wow!' response such fare needs in order to pros
Top CriticMore fun than expected sci-fi, cop flick starring Jean-Claude for kicks.
As time-travel pictures go, this Jean-Claude Van Damme vehicle is a passable but disappointing excursion into well-traveled terrain.
SF specialist Peter Hyams, doubling as usual as director and cinematographer, leaves his record for mediocrity unblemished in this silly time-travel tale.
Top CriticHyams is no stranger to large-scale sci-fi, so his management of the massive sets and slightly mechanical fx is more than adequate.
Thanks to Hyams' professionalism, Timecop is a slickly-made, fast-paced and mildly-diverting B movie.

Filled with holes, gaps, and the ilk, it's a minor Van Damme, meaning there is some minor fun.

This is an action movie the way it should be: Incredibly violent and fast-paced...
Years of tireless persistence have begun to work in Mr. Van Damme's favor. It's hard not to enjoy his energy, even if his acting gifts still leave a lot to be desired.
Top CriticVan Damme is appealingly affect-less as the cop who dutifully slams a pack of baddies into the walls every third or fourth scene.

Only worth renting if you've got a poker game and a bottle of Jack Daniels going. View it straight and you'll be too busy rolling your eyes to keep up.
