Review of Timecop (1994) by David M — 05 Oct 2013

While perhaps better known today for his ads for Coors, Jean Claude Van Damme actually had a string of (semi) successful movies in the 80s and 90s.

One of those movies is this which, if memory serves, even provided the template for a short-lived TV series. In this, JCVD works as an agent for a top-secret government agency which has been set up to regulate time travel (supposedly discovered in 1994, with him working out of the then-futuristic 2004).

Of course, as is de rigeur for this type of movie, he has a tragedy in his past which (by the end of the film) has been righted, as well as the villains defeated and the day saved! This is no Terminator (or Back to the Future), but maybe worth watching if you're in the mood for a bit of bargain-basement sci-fi action.
