Imdb timecop movie#

The story can be a bit confusing at times but is fun at most times, especially near the end when doubles of all the characters are on the screen at once THE BAD - The bad part of the film is the credibility, especially with Silver who plays a politician.

The special- effects - at least when this came out in the mid '90s - were very cool when the time travelers reached their destinations and appear out of this wall of near- transparent plastic. There is something about Ron Silver's looks that spell 'sleazy and rotten' before he even opens his mouth! When he speaks, his accent and profanity quickly verifies those suspicions. THE GOOD - Kudos to the four s's in here: Silver, suspense, special-effects and sound - all of them are very good. The story also has some good twists and humor. because of the interesting and somewhat complex tale with time travel as the main theme. I thought this was a notch above the normal no-brainer kick-boxer action flicks which star men like Jean-Claude VanDamme, Steven Segal, Chuck Norris, Jackie Chan, etc. I also liked the opening scene and the scene in which he goes back to 1929 to arrest his partner. In my opinion, this was one of his best performances.

The paradox in leap faith of this movie is also that works so well and fits with the story. If you don't, this movie has zero credibility, and is not worth your time. That is the more or less basic plot, In order to even try watching this movie, you MUST LOOK PAST THE PARADOX. 'oh its a guilty pleasure at best' that's stupid! This film deserves a special edition in some way. I think this film is beginning, to get a bad wrap from the general audience. I enjoy the story, the concept and the action. The action sequences where amazing, the fight scenes and Van Damme martial arts where very realistic. I never really liked Cyborg, but I absolutely love this movie. The first time was in cyborg (1989) and the second time was in Universal Soldier. Honestly this is the third time Van Damme played in a science fiction movie. A lot of my friends that I know in real life, loves this movie. Not only this movie is my favorite best Van Damme movie, it is one of those movies that you watch over and over again and never gets tiring. And yes, this movie, like many other Van Damme classics deserves a special edition. That mullet Is the best he ever had, not the one in Hard Target. Also I think that this movie has Van Damme's best hairstyle. The movie it self has a good look, action and effects and very good acting performance by Van Damme, you really feel bad for him and want to see him kick bad guys asses. I also think Van Damme definitely deserves some credit for his non-action scenes in this film, but I suppose his performance in this film will always be remembered for that splits scene. The film is a lot smarter than people give it credit for. I have grew up with this movie and it was a hit in 1994 when it was released out. I have it on Blu-ray in my Van Damme collection. I actually rented on a VHS tape in the 90's my parents paid me for the VHS tape so I could watch this movie. Half-n-half sci-fi/action films get lost beneath pure action and pure sci-fi but Timecop is top shelf. Mia Sara was absolutely wonderful as Max's (Van Damme's) wife Melissa. Ron Silver did an excellent joy playing a villain in this movie as Senator McComb. You have a lot of explosions and it also involves conspiracy. In here you have nice realistic martial arts and action. I watched the sequel without Van Damme in it and the sequel sucked. Timecop (1994) is very underrated film, there was a sequel and a short-lived ABC series. It does involve travel into the past, so it immediately presents a time-travel paradox which can't really be resolved. What I meant in the top written: 'to take a few sci-fi leaps of faith' This movie involves time travel about a cop who travels from 2004 to 1994 and try's to prevent the death of his wife and change the future. I love this movie to death and it is my 6th favorite best Van Damme movie. His son years later directed two Universal Soldier film sequels. He was the only one of the directors who come visit Van Damme in hospital after he got injured. It was directed from Peter Hyams who become a good friend with Van Damme and a year later he directed Sudden Death with Van Damme. One of my favorite action movie flicks till this days. Great travel time, great action, great villains and great story. One of my favorite and serious Van Damme's roles in this film. Timecop (1994) is my favorite Van Damme action sci-fi classic! Just Like Sylvester Stallone's Judge Dredd, Van Damme's Timecop is very Underrated action sci-fi flick ever.
