Directed by Peter Hyams without an ounce of suspense, too much testosterone, and little or no reason, Timecop takes the fun out of what has to be one of the most enduring human fantasies to go back and make things right.

Van Damme is compelling only when he takes his clothes off.

This brainless romp [is] a real blast.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 16, 2010

For the most part, Hyams' lackluster direction and the repetitive quality of the action sequences squander an intriguing premise and impressive production design, leaving few moments that elicit the sort of 'Wow!' response such fare needs in order to pros

Good dumb fun.

A satisfying science-fiction thriller.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 1, 2000

Being a time-travel epic, plot holes abound here, but it's Van Damme's cute little attempt at being the family man that ruins that oh-so-necessary willing suspension of disbelief.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 1, 2000

In spite of its glitches, Timecop is lots of fun, a blast from the past.

| Jan 1, 2000

Timecop, a low-rent Terminator, is the kind of movie that is best not thought about at all, for that way madness lies.
