Amazon.co.uk Review
Pay no attention to the fact that Timecop is an insult to intelligent science fiction, and that it gradually succumbs to an acute case of the sillies. It is a Jean-Claude Van Damme movie, after all, so check your brain at the door and enjoy this action flick set in the year 2004. Van Damme plays an officer in the Time Enforcement Police, assigned to prevent criminals from travelling to the past with the intent of altering the future. Ron Silver plays the evil politician who plots to retrieve a stockpile of gold from the Civil War to finance his latest campaign. The film is clever to a point, and entertaining if you can ignore the dumb jokes and inconsistencies. Best of all, it's an above-average vehicle for Van Damme (relatively speaking), who gets to kick some villainous butt and share a few scenes with Mia Sara, who plays the Timecop's wife. As Van Damme fans can tell you, this is one of the action star's better movies. -- Jeff Shannon, Amazon.com

If you want to watch just one JC Van Damme movie - it should be this one September 24, 2007
First, to get the things straight, I am the first to recognise tha JC Van Damme is not really an actor and his movies are usually nothing more that settings for some martial arts displays. But "Timecop" is the exception to the rule. This is a quite smart story about a very special police force, which fights against the abuse of time travelling. Timecops search fugitives who escaped in the past (there is no travels into the future), bandits, who go to the past to loot and plunder using modern weaponry, crooks, who try to make fortune using knowledge of future events, finally terrorists, who try to influence the future by changing the past. The whole concept is vaguely inspired by SF novel by Paul Anderson, "Time Patrol". JC Van Damme plays one of the Timecops, Mia Sara (delicious and distinguished) is his wife and Gloria Reuben (highly attractive and well spoken) is his recently affected partner. No more details about the story, but it is surprisingly smart, touching and contains surprising twists. There is only limited kicking and jumping from JC Van Damme, so if you are a martial arts fan, you will be probably unsatisfied - but if you enjoy good SF, you will be delighted. And the ending is really, really unexpected, and not stupid at all. A nice surprise from JC Van Damme, for whom it is the best role until now. I enjoyed it and I think you will too.

Good film. July 5, 2004

This is an enjoyable film. Don't think too much about plot or you will be confused.

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!

4 out of 5 stars (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.

4 out of 5 stars 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.
