Critics Consensus

It's no Terminator, but for those willing to suspend disbelief and rational thought, Timecop provides limited sci-fi action rewards.

1/4

Directed by Peter Hyams without an ounce of suspense, too much testosterone, and little or no reason, Timecop takes the fun out of what has to be one of the most enduring human fantasies to go back and make things right.

Van Damme is compelling only when he takes his clothes off.

What we need here is a good deal more humor and less self-important plot twisting.

It's not a great filmic exploration of time travel or science-fiction themes, but it's still a decent amount of fun.

This super-silly effort strays quite near the watchable thanks to it's looney-tunes time-travel angle.

Time Cop is a really fun movie that makes time fly by. Super fun and RiffTrax had some fun jokes.

RiffTrax presents Time Cop. And the policeman is our friend That song is stuck in my head. Tuned out for the movies story, stayed for the JKVD Buns (how he does the splits is beyond me). Great action and fights, when they were visible. This movie is probably one of the wettest JKVD has been. We have a wannabe Hans Gruber playing the movies villain. We have henchmen that look like punk rockers. We have oversized rooms, and over elaborate time travel. Theres plot points that just dont make any sense, but The RiffTrax makes it bearable and its a blissful 98 mins

One of the best ways to enjoy a movie, and the Rifftrax name always draws such a fun crowd.
