Timecop

"You can't go forward in time because it hasn't happened yet" -Black Guy, "Timecop"

After watching Timecop, you may wish to travel back in time to prevent yourself from watching Timecop. But altering the past has consequences, you know, so now having never seen Timecop, your morbid curiosity will probably be piqued and you'll end up watching Timecop. It seems we're doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past. Just remember, the same matter can't occupy the same space, whatever the fuck that means.

I will probably spend hours discussing with psychiatrists why it is that when I have fifty classic movies I have never seen in my Netflix que, I bump this up to the top for the seventeenth time.

'Timecop' is not only a legitimately good movie, in it Van Damme provides us with, hold on, a next-to-decent performance. Action-fans probably won't be satisfied and it's very generic to the 90s. That said, the sci-fi world, Ron Silver's bad guy, the plot (at least in the first two-thirds of the flick) - all decently watchable and enjoyable. Or did I, perhaps, rewatch it through a rosy haze of nostalgia?

Very cheesy, and it eschews a deeper exploration of the effects of meddling with time travel so that JCVD can dish out more beatings; this is either a good or bad thing, I can't decide. It's entertaining enough, and pretty easy to watch. It suffers from not being Bloodsport, though, as all his films do.
