WSR Narrative Review
Story Synopsis:
Timecop, based on the comic book series created by Mike Richardson and Mark Verheiden, stars Jean-Claude Van Damme in this sci-fi action adaption about time travel in the year 2000. Van Damme is embittered time-cop Max Walker, member of the elite “Time Enforcement Commission”—created to enforce one simple rule: No One Goes Back. Criminals of the future do manage to break the law in their quest to alter the past for profit and power. When Walker sets out to derail a corrupt senator (Ron Silver), he is confronted by his own interrupted past when his beautiful wife (Mia Sara) is murdered during his investigation back in 1994.
