Like James Cameron’s far-superior ' The Terminator,' 'Timecop' uses a gooey romance to give resonance to what is otherwise a standard-issue action thriller.

Van Damme stars as Max Walker, a 'timecop' from the future who is part of a special government force implemented to capture criminals through the use of time travel. But of all of the cheesy and derivative action flicks that the 'muscles from Brussels' starred in during his brief '90s reign as the poor man's Arnold Schwarzenegger, 'Timecop' is the least cheesy and least derivative.Įven those less familiar with the sci-fi genre will recognize the story of 'Timecop' as a mishmash (read: rip-off) of ' Blade Runner,' 'Minority Report' and every other story Philip K. Of course, considering that his cinematic canon is littered with such C-grade stinkers as 'Bloodsport,' 'Cyborg,' 'Kickboxer' and 'Death Warrant,' that’s not exactly high praise.
