a5c7b9f00b When the ability to travel through time is perfected, a new type of law enforcement agency is formed. It's called Time Enforcement Commission or TEC. A cop, Max Walker, is assigned to the group. On the day he was chosen, some men attack him and kill his wife. Ten years later Max is still grieving but has become a good agent for the TEC. He tracks down a former co-worker who went into the past to make money. Max brings him back for sentencing but not after telling Max that Senator McComb, the man in charge of TEC, sent him. Max has his eye on McComb.
Max Walker, an officer for a security agency that regulates time travel, must fend for his life against a shady politician who's intent on changing the past to control the future.
Similarly to its spin off comic by Mike Richardson and Mark Verheiden, TimeCop(1994), the original movie, makes very respectable sci-fi. B-grade sequel by Gary Thompson notwithstanding, Verheiden's screenplay draws you in with a time-travel story full of socially relevant scientific nuggets.<br/><br/>Director/DoP Peter Hyams (Running Scared(1986), A Sound of Thunder(2004)), rightfully claims his movie isn't really science-fiction, but 'futuristic drama' that 'unfolds on many levels: romance, action, mystery, and drama'. The action, delivered on a shoestring budget, flits comfortably between centuries.<br/><br/>The provocative opening scene is set in Gainesville GA, 1863. 15mins later we're on Wall St, 1929, having visited a 1994 Washington Senate Oversight Committee in between. <br/><br/>The story continues in 1929, establishing the period with marvelous Art Deco detail, and frank depictions of Depression-Era Wall St jumpers. Set Decorators Annmarie Corbett & Rose Marie McSherry, Art Director Richard Hudolin (gigging on 'Stargate-SG1' since its inception) and a small army of set dressers ensured that TimeCop(1994) avoided that 'staged' feel.<br/><br/>Similar in tone to the RoboCop franchise, TimeCop(1994) is utterly 1990s in its critique of 1980s (Reaganite) greed.<br/><br/>The story revolves around a 2004-vintage megalomaniac politician, Senator Aaron McComb (played by the forever after typecast Ron Silver). McComb is abusing his positionhead of the same T(ime) E(nforcement) C(omission) Oversight Committee we glimpsed earlier, in order to grab the insider-trading 'opportunity' of time travel. Under the pretext of a politician fiscally opposed to publicly funded time travel, his stolen prototype would in fact ensure McComb's private and clandestine monopoly over the technology. So the film becomes a timely reminder of some notorious insider-traders in the real 2004.<br/><br/>Silver's characterisation of McComb is that of an arrogant bully wantonly violent with even his own people. By 2004 he's running for President, needing money to buy his way in, since he has no intention of being representative. It should surprise no-one that McComb appeals to 'the Pro-Life/Pro-Death Coalition' (fatuous extremists).<br/><br/>His gross but transparent noxiousness, and consequent ridicule at the TEC (where his visage is set to dartboards), serves to undermine his credibilitya Washington politician for the audiencewell. Fans have complained about the over-the-top nature of McComb, but Hyams seems satisfied with Silver's portrayal, commenting that '(Silver) treads the fine line between viciousness and humour…..wonderfully'. After all, the franchise had to be easily transferable from film to comics.<br/><br/>One of McComb's dartboarders, an otherwise nondescript TEC cop named Max Walker (Jean-Claude Van Damme), turns reluctant hero when his partner Lyle Atwood (Jason Schombing) is corrupted by McComb. Atwood absconds, forcing Max to recapture him in 1929. TEC justice being swift, Atwood is quickly sentenced to death, and is conveniently allowed to continue jumping to his death in 1929, but not before naming Senator McComb to Max.<br/><br/>Somehow, McComb sniffs out exactly who knows too much about him, and acquires an abiding interest in Agent Walker. Their thinly veiled verbal jousting during McComb's TEC tour-of-inspection becomes the turning point for Agent Walker.<br/><br/>His boss, and the first-ever appointee Director of the TEC, Eugene Matuzak (Bruce McGill), is now Max's only friend. Walker is not only distrusted by his colleagues for collaring his own partner, but he's still guiltily grieving for his innocent wife (Ferris Bueller(1986)'s Mia Sara). TimeCop(1994)'s plot is full of acting opportunities for its hero cop, whose professional problems instead found his pregnant wife at home. Max, our obsessed hero, has become terrible company. When he's saddled with a partner from Internal Affairs, his resentment of Agent Fielding (ER 'resident' Gloria Reuben) threatens to overwhelm the plot.<br/><br/>Haunted cops are well personified by a frequently uncomfortable and surprisingly effective Van Damme–he's streets ahead of the embarrassing, alternately wooden or grimacing Jason Scott Lee, starring in the 2003 sequel. TimeCop(1994) may, instead, be the best acting role of Van Damme's career. A year later he again starred for Hyams in Sudden Death(1995), but there wasn't enough emotional scope in that actioner for Van Damme to match his apparent acting chops from TimeCop(1994).<br/><br/>The best 'bit' belongs to a genuinely funny and avuncular Bruce McGillMatuzak, who with one flick of the wrist smacks his V/R dweeb Ricky (Scott Bellis) with his own visor when he catches the dweeb literally abusing the equipment.<br/><br/>Working for the TEC isn't always fun, however. Rule No1 is that 'no-one goes back', except to fix someone else's 'disturbance'. Walker, not surprisingly, decides that if the rules forbid him, a cop, from going back to save his wife, then McComb's scummy profiteering is not gonna happen.<br/><br/>The unique digital effects of time-travel involve some eye-popping 'drop propagation'-CGI, mimicking a surface-tension breachan organic depiction of 'time insertion'. It was devised by Visual Effects Supervisor Greg McMurry and director Hyams himself, who conceived of 'a very liquid optical distortion', which then had to be coded by McMurry's Video Image programmers. (The only remaining logic problem is where the pod went after 'insertion'.)<br/><br/>In addition to the time-travel pods and their hardware/software, the props department fashioned an iPod-type hand-held computer, a working prop roadcar and interior, various 'pulse' weapons, and Microsoft's upcoming 'talking house' technology.<br/><br/>Without an expensive soundtrack, the budget could be better spent on the overall look, set designs, and costumes. Steven Kemper's careful editing implies whole time periods with just a few well-chosen scenes. Timecop(1994)'s editing and sets represent the very best in 'economical' production values.<br/><br/>The director granted Van Damme several clever martial arts scenes. In the most famous one the hero avoids electrocution by doing the splits over some benchtops; while his battles with 1929-vintage security are enjoyably one-sided. Unfortunately, his mall kickboxing is woeful: J-C's opponent only had to grab 'Mr Dialogue's boot, pivot it away, and just walk off…..<br/><br/>Despite such imperfections, TimeCop(1994) remains a solid entry in the time-travel genre, followed 9yrs later by a confused, wooden, shlocky, and deliberately Asianised sequel that threatens to ruin the franchise. Any further entries will need to match Peter Hyams' original high bar of 'futuristic drama'.(9/10)
It's 1994, when Max Walker (Jean Claude Van Damme) is a police officer. Who's been selected to start secret new job at the Time Enforcement Commission (TEC). Which Walker could travel only in the past to stop any criminals from changing the past. Before he start the new job, his wife (Mia Sara) was mysteriously murdered by a group of thugs. Now in 2004, Max is one of the top officers at TEC is trying to solve the cast that involves dirty money from the past and a corrupted politician Senator Aaron McComb (Ron Silver). Which this Senator wants to be the next President of the United States in the present future. When Max finds himself in danger from being nearly killed by McComb's men but he can't prove it. When Max's next mission along with a new partner (Gloria Reuban) travels back to 1994 from changing the past but also on the same day from the past, his wife was murdered. Now it is only chance he has to change his past to save his wife and the criminals he has stopwell.<br/><br/>Directed by Peter Hyams (2010:The Year We Make Contact, The Relic, A Sound of Thunder) made an watchable entertaining sci-fi/action/thriller. Van Damme is actually quite good in the movie and it is also one of his best films from the 1990's. The premise while familiar does have some smart ideas and some visually clever momentswell. Silver does his best with his underwritten rolethe villain, it's certainly a hoot seeing Silver playing both characters from the past and future in a couple of scenes. This was the highest grossing Van Damme feature in North America.<br/><br/>Since the previous 1998 DVD was only in Full Screen. Which Hyams' use of Widescreen probably looked good in theaters. But the DVD was Full Frame, which make it tough to enjoy half of the time. Now with the recent Quadrulpe Feature Van Damme Fight Pack. It's a two disc set that includes this movie, "Hard Target", "Street Fighter" and "The Quest". "Timecop" is presented for the first time on DVD on a anamorphic widescreen presentation. DVD has an sharp anamorphic Widescreen (2.35:1) transfer (It does have some scenes in the movie are grainy at times) and an good Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound.<br/><br/>It almost made me forgot how dark the cinematography was at times, especially in the first half. Since the director himself does his own lighting in his movies. "Timecop" isn't a perfect movie, the script does have its problems, some dated CGI effects and the future wasn't really changed since 2004. "Timecop" is actually based on a comic book series created by Mike Richardson and Mark Verheiden (The Mask, My Name is Bruce) from Dark House. They also wrote the story together, while Verheiden wrote the screenplay. But it's still a fun movie with some outrageous moments. Director Hyams and actor Van Damme reunited for the enjoyable but wildly unintentional action campy fest "Sudden Death". Sam Raimi (Evil Dead Trilogy, Spider-Man Trilogy, A Simple Plan) and Robert Tapert (Boogeyman, The Grudge "2004", 30 Days of Night) are among the producers. Panavision. (****/*****).
Van Damme once again bends and twists his muscular frame to superhuman excess, but his Belgian tonsils have all the flexibility of the Himalayas when it comes to splurting out his one-liners.
