Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
Leofwine_draca Van Damme's TIMECOP was a serviceable science fiction thriller that I personally found to be far from the star's best work – yet its legacy has proved surprisingly popular over the years, with first a TV series in the late '90s and then this low budgeted sequel. In this outing, Jason Scott Lee (DRAGON: THE BRUCE LEE STORY) takes over the role of the heroic timecop out to stop some nefarious bad guys meddling with time. Cheesy special effects, weak scripting and a distinct lack of originality are the order of the day, but in the end I found myself enjoying this film quite a bit. It's one of those tongue-in-cheek B-movies that never takes itself too seriously and delivers plenty of entertainment in the scant running time.The lack of decent plotting is a real problem, but the film manages at least a couple of impressive set-pieces. One action highlight comes during a full-scale prison riot, featuring our hero kicking the ass of various hulking prisoners. The other is a more cerebral moment, a cleverly staged moment in which Lee discovers that history is repeatedly changing almost as he watches – yes, it's obvious, but done just so. The last half hour is busy setting up a final confrontation between Lee and Thomas Ian Griffith, here taking on bad guy duties after once making a few films of his own as hero (such as EXCESSIVE FORCE). I found the fight scenes in this film to be fun in a light-hearted, Jackie Chan style, while Lee's acting has improved greatly since he was in the likes of TALOS THE MUMMY. It ain't art, but for B-movie cheesiness it provides more than a few thrills.
TBJCSKCNRRQTreviews This is pretty much the first Jason Scott Lee film I've seen. I say pretty much, because I have also seen Soldier, in which he plays the villain... but from what I've heard, it's not considered a Jason Scott Lee film. This, however, is. And if this is any indication of the quality of such films, I won't be seeing any of the others. Lee is basically passable as a martial arts artist... as the lead, he's awful. He gets in a fight with random no-name characters every few minutes of the film, probably because the script writer couldn't figure out how else to stretch out the film to the minimum required running time for a feature film. The villain is the only character with even a hint of personality, and aside from the fact that he's certifiably insane, he barely seems like a villain at all. The majority of the film is basically Lee chasing the villain through time... or maybe it's the other way around. I can't say for sure... and I definitely wouldn't watch it again to make sure. The effects are not completely horrible... but it's close. The title comes from the popular idea of using a time-machine to go and kill Hitler. Somehow, the film screws up that interesting idea as well. The plot is too complicated for its own good. The pacing is poor. I can't think of one positive thing to say about this film... I really can't. It's simply too formulaic and pointless. If only I had a time-machine, so I could go back and prevent this film from ever being made... no, never mind. I just hope as few fragile minds are exposed to this as possible. Listen to the negative reviewers. Avoid this turkey. I recommend this to fans of Lee, and no one else. If you're looking for a quality film... well, this isn't it. That's for sure. 1/10
ipkevin I'm shocked. Until Timecop 2, I don't think I had ever seen a cheap, direct-to-video sequel that was actually good and possibly even better than its theatrical predecessor! And it's not just because of the action either - the best thing about the film is its story. It's handled with EXQUISITE pacing. On the one hand, the hero played by Jason Scott Lee is constantly jumping from time period to time period, so there's always some action or intrigue going on. But amazingly, at the same time, the filmmakers manage to acknowledge all of the great moral or ethical dilemmas that a time altering premise provides. It's thought-provoking and even a little emotional. Basically, the film is stuffed with great ideas, good acting, and decent action scenes. The only way Timecop 2 suffers in comparison to the first is in the cinematography. Whereas the first film had fantastically moody photography, the sequel looks like an above average television film. It has a too "clean" look to it. It isn't horrible, but it's not very cinematic either. In terms of action, the film is exceptional at demonstrating fast, brutal Jeet Kune Do moves. I guess Jason Scott Lee has still been practicing since he did Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story all of those years ago.Bottom-line, give Timecop 2 a try. It's far better than it has any right to be.
doron_tordjman I loved Jason Scott Lee in this picture. The passion that he puts into his role is commendable. I loved the story and the moral conflicts that the main characters go through in being Time Cops. It was a pretty good role for the antagonist in this movie, too. The movie contained one of the longest epilogues I have ever seen, but they kept it entertaining so I didn't mind. Another really cool thing I personally loved is his use of Jeet Kun Do (Bruce Lee's fighting style). He used it in the movie Dragon and did so well with it. For those that know a little about his fighting style, and even for those who don't, it is pretty awesome to watch. In a future movie, I would love to see the characters spend more time with a particular historical event (They were in Berlin for a total of maybe 7 minutes in the beginning of the film). I would love to see another Time Cop movie, but only if Jason Scott Lee plays in it again! It's a Tivo keeper ;)
