There isn't much to say about TIMECOP that hasn't been said before. I must admit that this film has devised the most pragmatic situation (to date) that allows Van Damme to perform his famed splits. I never thought I would see a film where it was not gratuitously blatant or forced. I am speaking, of course, of the fight sequence in the kitchen, where he avoids electrocution by the means detailed above; it is simply exceptional work. Kudos to Michael Richardson who wrote the screenplay and to Peter Hyams for his powerful direction of this scene. A special credit goes to Jean-Claude Van Damme, who has remained limber enough after years of opulent living, still able to position his legs at a straight angle for all the world to ponder. Truly, poetry in motion.
The scene where Van Damme does the splits real good like: 10/10; the incredulous film overall: 3/10.
