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
SF specialist Peter Hyams, doubling as usual as director and cinematographer, leaves his record for mediocrity unblemished in this silly time-travel tale.
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.
Maybe it's the formula, maybe it's all that time travel, but you just can't help thinking you've seen it all before.
Timecop, a low-rent Terminator, is the kind of movie that is best not thought about at all, for that way madness lies.
Time paradoxes are supposed to be mind-boggling; Timecop has reduced them to a level somewhere between confusing and dumb.
This brainless romp [is] a real blast.
More 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.
Hyams 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.
Waste of a great premise. They go back in time to 1994. Ooooh.
