(out of tour stars)
Jean-Claude Van Damme's latest kicking rease,
"Timecop," has made good use of a large budit
with better special effects and a better all-around ijm
jpearance than his previous cinematic efforts. H m
It may be unusual to begin a film review by com- | ,, J
enting on the gimmicks it employs, especially | :|?|Hj
hen there aren't many, but they are the best feaires
of the film. While this movie is good by Van
amme standards, it's pretty dire by other stanirds.
The plot of"Timecop" is taken from a comic book,
id although it is not exactly original, it does have
lite a bit of unrealized potential. The year is 2004, T|mo [
id time travel is now a possibility ripe for ex- ciaudc
loitation by corrupt senators on the committee assasli
inding the agency policing history to ensure no ,
le alters the past to benefit themselves. ^Tht
Of course there is only one man on the entire ,
ilice force who can expose his crooked superiors , e^c
id bring them to justice (There always is. God help ]^on.
le criminal community if all these lone mavericks
ith a shady past and a drinking problem ever band
>gether to form one police force.). The man is Max w^oca
Jalker, played by Van Damme, who is so much of , , 4
thorn in evil Senator McCorab's (Ron Silver) side tgr
lat he loses his wife (Mia Sara). She is killed by ? ^
