Summary: Movie Doesn't Quite Live Up to It's Promise, but Still Good
Review: Timecop is the story of a police officer (Van Damme) whose wife is killed one night in 1994 by unknown assassins. Ten years later, in 2004, the cop is now a jaded officer with the Time Police. Time Travel has been discovered, and some individuals are going back to try to make a killing in the stock market, or to just steal valuables. The Time Police are a secret government organization, as the news that time travel is now a reality has not been leaked to the public.
TimeCop has great action scenes with Van Damme, great special effects, great sets, costumes, and acting. So why only three stars? The movie opens during the Civil War, with a great scene. Shortly after, there is a scene of Wall Street in 1929. These sets and costumes are great, but the viewer is let down because there are no more trips to the past before 1994. There are lots of scenes set in 2004. These scenes are interesting, because it is now 2004, but we do not have all the futuristic cars, homes, and computers that the filmakers imagined. The climactic scene, while very good, is played out in Van Damme's home in 1994. With this movie, you would expect more time travel.
Contains sexually explicit scenes, violence, and bad language.

Summary: Timecop
Review: Universal has been steadily improving it's DVD product line. The only company currently listing detailed information like whether or not the movie was recorded in a single versus a dual layer, Universal seems to have the archetypal DVD customer in mind all the way.In light of this, it's all the more disappointing that the only feature worth mentioning about Timecop is that it has Dolby Digital sound, and is captioned and subtitled. Unlike almost every other major title on the market, Timecop doesn't even have a widescreen format. Heck, the Laserdisc version has widescreen--what the h*ll happened here? This is a shame, since Timecop is probably Jean-Claude Van Damme's best film. I know this isn't saying much, but even I have to admit that the Van Damminator has a certain endearing, if not annoying, action hero charm. And unlike Steven Segal, Van Damme allows his character to be hurt in fight scenes. Without any special goodies to mention, I can only close with a brief review of the story. Written by comic book scribe Mark Verheiden, Timecop is as good a time travel action flick as I've seen. Highlighted by a deliciously slimy acting job by Ron Silver (and a more thoughful and believable Van Damme), Timecop is just the kind of bubblegum your brain will want to chew on "movie night". Raincoaters will also appreciate the brief but steamy love scene with the stunningly attractive Mia Sara (of "Ferris Bueller" fame). I can only recommend this if you're a Van Damme fan who has to have it... END

Summary: What a kick
Review: Van Damme is kickin' again in TIMECOP, the sci-fi kung fu action/adventure where he must stop a greedy politician from altering past events for his benefit, and also intercept his wife's killers. It a nice change to see Van Damme with a longer hair cut. And he even ACTS in this movie too. TIMECOP is a must for any fan of Van Damme, kung fu films, sci-fi films, or movies with actual acting.
