Actually the special effects and the fight scenes are very good, and if my wife died and she looked like Mia Sara, then when I was going back in tome to stop criminals from commiting crimes then I would try and save her too!


(Van) Damme its good!   October 30, 2003

With his career now appearing to be in the doldrums its good to look back and see what an effective action star Jean Claude is when he's given a good plot, decent script and a role that calls for minimum acting. Of the numerous films that he has made this one is easily the best and one of the few that was critically well received. With a real actor, Ron Silver, playing the villain opposite him all Van Damme has to do are flex his pecs, perform his stunts and let the special effects do the rest. Its as though the makers of this film knew what his limitations were and made the film in such a way that he was not stretched beyond them. You can count on a couple of fingers the number of his films that this has happened with. So whether you like martial arts movies, science fiction films or just plain action movies sit back and enjoy 'cause there's something for everyone in this film.


Excellent use of time.   March 30, 2003
I do not normally go in for flying feet and the like. Usually they are accosted with dubbed voices. However in this film everything came together to create a great entertainment ands a thought provoking story. Van Damme had to be more than him self and the interaction between Van Damme, Mia Sara, and Ron Silver, not to mention others, is worth the ticket price.

The title is "Timecop." And that is what Max Walker is. More than once he must thwart the efforts of Senator Aaron McComb whom has found a new source of soft money. There are the ever-present time enigmas to deal with and in the process you can not tell the good guys from the bad as they all dress in black.
