Timecop (1994) Review - Ripped Off by Minorty Report?
14Review / Rant on the 1994 action film Timecop.
Timecop is a 1994 American science fiction action film directed by Peter Hyams and co-written by Mike Richardson and Mark Verheiden. Richardson also served as executive producer. The film is based on Time Cop, a story created by Richardson, written by Verheiden, and drawn by Ron Randall, which appeared in the anthology comic Dark Horse Comics, published by Dark Horse Comics.
The film stars Jean-Claude Van Damme as Max Walker, a police officer in 1994 and later a U.S. Federal agent in 2004, when time travel has been made possible. It also stars Ron Silver as a rogue politician and Mia Sara as Melissa Walker, the agent's wife. The story follows an interconnected web of episodes in the agent's life as he fights time-travel crime and investigates the politician's plans.
Timecop remains Van Damme's highest-grossing film (his second to break the $100 million barrier for a worldwide gross) as a lead actor, and though met with mixed reviews, it is generally regarded as one of Van Damme's better films by critics.
