If you exert any mental effort on the (quantum) mechanics of "Timecop", you're asking for trouble. Hell, on the movie as a whole. The fight scenes are iffy, and it's got more holes than a donut shop. And the one-liners are so tacky (except for Ron Silver's; that psycho owns his dialogue).
And yet . . .
I totally dig this movie, very much in that "caught it last night on cable" sort of way. All of its foibles seem to work in glorious spite of themselves. I found myself invested in Van Damme's storyline and I love how he solves problems by doing the splits. And his European ubermensch somehow fits in with a scifi/political paranoia actioner. This shouldn't work nearly as well as it does, and I can only hope that time doesn't change that.
7/10
And hellooooo, Mia Sara.
