Movie Reviews of Timecop
Movie Review: Timecop, old but new
Summary: 4 Stars
Timecop is a very good version of the old tried-and-true "what happens if? ......" time travel genre. Everyone should know by now that Walker, the Time Enforcement Commission agent, runs afoul of power mad politicians, really bad guys, and not a few paradoxes as he goes about his job as a TEC good guy. Not much is new here. However, the picture is well directed and filmed. The acting is good, if not great, and the characters are quite believable (even the bad guys). Sets and video quality are very good to excellent and make it easy to watch. The special effects are fairly original and don't contain much wasted or excessive boom and flame (of course, the house does blow up a lot of times, but what the hey?). I particularly loved the exit into the past with its ripples and characteristic sound. Overall, Timecop was a flashy remake of the time travel theme with better than average acting and good special defects. There are thrills galore, lots of entertainment, and it even offers some intellectual stimulation to go with the serious action content. I would recommend it to anyone interested in Sci-Fi or action thrillers. Van Damme lovers must buy this disk, period. The video and sound quality are much more impressive that the best VHS copy. Only the LaserDisk version came close to equaling the DVD.
