Rating: Summary: Excellent script, quality actors and Van Damme as a bonus!! Review: I used to be a big Van Damme fan. Nowadays, he is producing some junk and this is a big turn off. However, all he is needed is to add some good actors and a good story and viewers would get great entertainment! Timecop is one of my favorite Van Damme movies. I think that the whole time travel Sci-Fi plot was very good and without any obvious flaws. I would grade this story 10 times better that the recently released Time Machine with Guy Pierce. The special effects were pretty good. Ron Silver, Bruce McGill, Gloria Reuben are all acting very well. Finally, Van Damme plays very well. Overall, an excellent mix of Sci-Fi / Adventure / Action and a real treat for fans of any of these genres. I wish I could see Van Damme is high quality movies with good stories and good cast again and not the junk he is producing now. My other Van Damme suggestions would be Lionheart and Hard Target.
Rating: Summary: Ultimate Van Dammage Review: I'm so sick and tired of movie critics putting "The Muscles From Brussels" down,can this man get any props for his acting.It isn't common for an actor to grose over 200 million for one film.Van Damme proved his movies are worth that as Timecop hit theaters.I remember the buzz it recieved back in 1994.Realisticly 2004 will not be that way portrayed in the Peter Hyams film but realisticly it was a Van Damme good movie.It was Van Dammes highest box-office hit and put Van Damme in the action hero hall of fame.This film is an A+ for great martial-arts tecniques credited due to Van Damme who rarely uses a stunt double and a great storyline,with time travel,remember Back To The Future,well if you liked that movie I advise you to watch Timecop which is just as good with Van Damme in complete control...It's Van Damme at his peak"...

Rating: Summary: Vanne Dammes Best Review: IF you cant stand J.C.V.D then I cant recomend this or any of his films! But for those who are and have not seen this one, then this i would have to say is one of, if not, the best film he has made! Vanne Damme plays a time traveling cop, which has some great features to it. Its not just any old action movie! the plot is great. It sends vanne damme chasing a guy through time who wants to change the presnet to make himself presidant! And vanne Dammes on the case. This is a great movie, at least rent it if youve never seen it, its well worth at least one watch before you dismiss this as just yoru ordinary Vanne Damme movie! I STRONGLY recomend you never see Time Cop 2 tho! No seaqull works without the original cast, and the seaqull is a waste of time! Stick with this and pretend part 2 never happend!
Rating: Summary: Abuse of power versus the need to bend rules for right. Review: Jean Claude Van Damme's chracter of TE agent Max Walker has a terrible quandry, break his time travel agency's rule of no one goes back to the past to alter the future to save his murdered wife from a slimy and unethical Senator from his own time(2004), or stay in the future and allow his time travel agency's head, Senator Aaron McComb, take over the agency and the presidency by altering the future for the greedy benefit. This ethical dilemnia forms the basis of the plot,I think, for the movie. Forget the bad language, just focus on the love story between Walker and his wife, played by Mia Sara.
Rating: Summary: Great!!!!! Review: Just like another Van Damne film,great!!!!!.He goes back in time to try to save himself and his wife before McComb and his gang to her.An enjoyable Van Damne clip that everyone should enjoy
Rating: Summary: Buyers Beware! Not Widescreen! Review: Like "Tombstone" this film is not improved over the now-extinct laserdisc format, Laserdisc never got media attention like DVD has gotten, but why films like this are not improved on DVD is a mystery to me, to start with "Timecop" is not in widescreen on DVD as it was on Laserdisc (Go figure?)now on to the movie, This has got to be one of Van Damme's best movies, it has a very different & neat concept,time-travel is a reality that is discovered by government officials in the year 1994, to protect time, they create a time-enforcement commission to arrest & capture anyone tampering with time, like most time-travel movies you have to carefully follow what is going on, Van Damme is a potential recruitement member for this commission in 1994, but before he can begin his new job, he is attacked & his wife is viciously murdered, the film then takes the viewer to 2004 where he is now a time-cop carrying out missions to bring those tampering with time back for trial, he discoveres along the way that a presidential candidate(Senator McComb, played convincinly by Ron Silver)may be sending people back to extort money for his campaign, the more Van Damme digs the more he begins to realize that the Senator is also minipulating the government to close down the time-enforcement commission,Van Damme is soon sent on an assignment to the year 1994,the day before his wife's death, & discovers a younger McComb being munipulated by his 2004-self, he tells him that his computer-chip company will be worth millions in 10 years, somthing his younger self wants out of, all hell breaks loose as Van Damme messes up his plan, & then returns to 2004 to discover that the commission is being shut down, Van Damme luckily goes back to 1994 to make things right, this is where the emotion of the movie comes into play, he soon discovers that his wife was pregnant & never got a chance to tell him, he then begins to flirt with the idea of changing her fate, it is a moral question that ask the viewer, if you could change somthing, would you??, as he watches his 1994 self with his wife, we see the emotion in his eyes & automtically know he is going to change the events that took place,the ending is a bit out there,which is where this movie loses its appeal, although Van Damme sets things right(won't spoil it for those who have not seen it), everything he has done, he could not have done in all reality, but it is an entertaining concept, I guess the real disappointment is that we did not get to visit other time periods which would have been cool & probably costly.
Rating: Summary: Timecop was COOL Review: Loved the movie. Jean Claude does a full split in one scene. Any man that can do that gets my respect!!
Rating: Summary: Infinite 'Time' Review: Max Walker's wife was killed by a senator and some thugs. That's what happened after a rendevous Max had with his wife at a mall. "There's never enough time to satisfy a woman." Passionate! A couple of psychos followed them home and took out his wife. He loved her with all of his heart and in the future, he had the opportunity of a lifetime to save her. Walker also has to stop a madman from becoming President of the United States after he forced some of his punks to go back in time and find the valuable stocks. With that money, he would be able to campaign. I was overjoyed with the uniqueness of this plot and it was far better than "Back to the Future". Time travel should be about corruption and saving wives. YES! The action sequences are remarkable with decent special effects and a scene where Van Damme kept his leg up and a thief almost skated right into his foot. "Read between the lines, mortal!" Jean-Claude Van Damme needs to make "Timecop 2" and "Street Fighter 2". His eternal presence is nothing short of astonishing.
Rating: Summary: Thought provoking sci-fi. Review: More than just the chop-socky contemporary martial arts flick, although plenty of action for the fans of this genre. The opening sequence is enough to make one hit the pause button, just to "contemplate the what-ifs". A troop of half a dozen Confederate soldiers transporting a cache of gold is defeated by one man wielding two laser sighted machine pistols. What if someone could take our current technology and use it to travel back through time to return to the past? What would be the result? Suppose one could return to the early days of the New York Stock Exchange; what stocks could be bought for a nickel, and what wealth could be "created"? Van Damme portrays a 21st century police officer for the newest technology. He is one of the men who must make sure that the no-goodniks don't go back in time and armed with knowledge of the future (actually the present), changing the past and the present. Ron Silver is well cast as the bad-guy, an overly ambitious Senator. A fine way to pass a couple of hours.
