A Masterpiece!

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

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.

This movie is a missed oportunity for JCVD to have a franchise since this movie succeded alot and if he wasnt doing other roles that ruined his career and wasnt on drugs at the time then this could have been his terminator anyway this movie can be a letdown and doesnt make sense but it was kind of entertaining and acting was decent ofc jcvd was decent since he was improving as an actor and obviously it can be directors fault for jcvd being bad alot of times like in Hard Target or Bloodsport but some movies like lionheart and nowhere to run and jcvd and alot of recent movies have good to decent acting. Plot doesnt make sense ofc i dont want to talk about it since i dont like spoiling movies. Everything was decent but some special effects looked nice and can still hold up.Decent

Oh my god there's some miserable people rating stuff these days. I understand not everyone likes the same things but every movie I watch with a low rating some actually turn out to be great.

When time travel was developed by a scientist in 1994, there was the need to create the Time Enforcement Commision (TEC) under the control of Senator Aaron McComb (Ron Silver) to protect the past from modifications. The police office Max Walker (Jean-Claude Van Damme) is invited to join the TEC, and when his wife Melissa (Mia Sara) is murdered by strangers, he accepts the invitation to work under the command of Eugene Matuzak (Bruce McGill). In 2004, Walker is assigned to capture his former partner Lyle Atwood (Jason Schombing) that is manipulating the stock market in 1929. Atwood tells that he is working for Senator McComb, who is a powerful politician that is running for president. Atwood prefers to die and does not confess that McComb is a criminal. Now Max knows the truth but McComb is changing the past and Max does not know how stop him."Timecop" is a highly entertaining film, despite the clichés and the inconsistencies. Most of the scenes are written to explore Van Damme´s skill with fights. Ron Silver performs his usual villain roleand is very effective. But better of turn your brain off and enjoy "Timecop". My vote is six.Title (Brazil): "Timecop - O Guardião do Tempo" ("Timecop - The Guardian of Time")
