Based on a comic book story, this futuristic film follows the time-travel exploits of policeman Max Walker (Claude Van Damme). In 1994, Walker's wife Melissa (Mia Sara) is about to tell him that she is expecting their first child when they are attacked by a group of criminals. Walker is shot and beaten and lies helplessly on his lawn while he sees their home and his wife blown up by the killers. Ten years later, Walker remains an employee of the Time Enforcement Commission, a federal agency which was set up in 1994 after the U.S. government learned that time travel technology is feasible. The commission's role is to prevent time travel to protect U.S. economic interests. Walker learns that the corrupt Senator McComb (Ron Silver), who helped establish the agency, is exploiting it for personal gain, trying to establish a monopoly on time travel so that he can enrich himself in the stock market. Walker travels back in time to stop McComb from murdering his former partner. At the same time, Walker hopes to rescue his wife, and he learns that the attack on his home was ordered by McComb to stop Walker from foiling his plans.~ Michael Betzold, All Movie Guide

Van Damme's best film

By stanza from East Sussex , 14 Jan 2005

[Highly rated reviewer]

This must be Van Damme’s best film, with Legionnaire or Maximum Risk second best.

I wasn’t sure if Timecop would be as good as I remembered it from 10 years ago, but it was and after renting it, I just had to buy a copy.

Van Damme is a Timecop travelling back in time to stop a dishonest Senator from changing the past to ensure he becomes President in the future. Also while Van Damme’s back in time he might just be able to save the life of his wife murdered 10 years previous by the same Senator.

The fight action in the last 20 minutes is superb and the whole script holds your attention from the start.

Worth watching again

By a customer from Somerset , 20 Jan 2009

Had forgotten we had seen this before but not a waste watching again. A good story and very well done. Special effects just right and not OTT and acting not at all wooden. I can't rate it as stunning or near to, so have to give it three I'm afraid.
