paulclaassen A film of this genre will more often than not have plot flaws. And this one indeed had plot flaws galore, but ultimately it was good fun and very entertaining. The unanswered questions can easily be overseen by the sheer entertainment value the film provides. It has great sets, great action, and interesting enough plot and you get the opportunity to see Van Damme in top form. The visuals are good for its time and there's loads of action! I did find the music loud and overbearing at times.

Samuel-Shovel Timecop is a really, really fun time. I haven't dealved too deep into the Van Damme filmography but I'm not sure if you'll find many better than these (although I do love Bloodsport). This one's chalk full of good action scenes with memorable deaths (I'm looking at you electrocution guy!). The acting by Van Damme leaves a lot to be desired as usual but that's not why we're here. We're here for spinning kicks and fantastic hair and we get all of that that we can handle! I love the house explosion scene, very well done. It is too bad though we don't get more of Mia Sara. She's one of the better actors in this one, alongside Bruce McGill and Ron Silver. Very good performance by Silver who plays the weaselly, corrupt politician perfectly. My one complaint though for this one is that we don't jump around in time more. We go back to the 90's a few times but it would have been nice to see the Depression era again or the Civil War or really anything older. Everything else felt too close together. Besides thus, a very enjoyable, harmless action movie that has some good fight scenes and bad one liners. I still don't get the time traveling car's function and why they don't need it to get back or the whole time travel paradox thing but hey, nothing's perfect!

bheadher If you can see past the obvious plot holes, and some of the effects, this one is quite fun to watch...The science is fairly well thought out, even though there a couple theories worthy of a cringe or two...but overall, the plot holds up well, including the focus on identical matter cannot occupy the same space...that was really a biggy for me as an amateur scientist of sorts.All in all, Time Cop is a movie, from a bygone era, where even B Flicks had some quality in them...well worth the experience to watch it...

Mr-Fusion If you exert any mental effort on the (quantum) mechanics of "Timecop", you're asking for trouble. Hell, on the movie as a whole. The fight scenes are iffy, and it's got more holes than a donut shop. And the one-liners are so tacky (except for Ron Silver's; that psycho owns his dialogue).And yet . . .I totally dig this movie, very much in that "caught it last night on cable" sort of way. All of its foibles seem to work in glorious spite of themselves. I found myself invested in Van Damme's storyline and I love how he solves problems by doing the splits. And his European ubermensch somehow fits in with a scifi/political paranoia actioner. This shouldn't work nearly as well as it does, and I can only hope that time doesn't change that.7/10 And hellooooo, Mia Sara.
