Original Review by Jonathan Broxton
Timecop is a science fiction action film directed by Peter Hyams and starring Jean-Claude Van Damme, Ron Silver, and Mia Sara. The story is set in a future where time travel has been invented and is regulated by the Time Enforcement Commission (TEC) to prevent temporal crimes. Van Damme plays Max Walker, a so-called ‘timecop’ who enforces these laws, but whose life is turned upside down when his wife is murdered in a home invasion. A decade later, Walker discovers that a corrupt politician named McComb is using time travel to manipulate past events so that he can amass power and wealth in the present; Walker’s investigation leads him to confront McComb’s men across different points in time, including a pivotal moment when McComb attempts to ensure his younger self gains control of a major corporation. As Walker battles to stop McComb he faces the challenges of time paradoxes and the dangers of altering history – including a new situation where he discovers he may be able to alter history to save his wife.
