Critics Consensus

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

Anderson Jones Detroit Free Press 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. Rated: 1/4 Apr 26, 2022 Full Review Gene Siskel Chicago Tribune Van Damme is compelling only when he takes his clothes off. Rated: 2/4 Jan 16, 2013 Full Review William Thomas Empire Magazine This brainless romp [is] a real blast. Rated: 3/5 Jul 16, 2010 Full Review Mal Vincent The Virginian-Pilot What we need here is a good deal more humor and less self-important plot twisting. Rated: 2/4 Mar 2, 2022 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins It's not a great filmic exploration of time travel or science-fiction themes, but it's still a decent amount of fun. Rated: 7/10 Sep 25, 2020 Full Review Leigh Paatsch Herald Sun (Australia) This super-silly effort strays quite near the watchable thanks to it's looney-tunes time-travel angle. Rated: 2/5 Apr 27, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Ben W Time Cop is a really fun movie that makes time fly by. Super fun and RiffTrax had some fun jokes. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/24/25 Full Review Kia B Every Rifftrax movie is the best! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/21/25 Full Review alastair w 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 Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/20/25 Full Review Team Remaaaaaaarkable One of the best ways to enjoy a movie, and the Rifftrax name always draws such a fun crowd. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/20/25 Full Review Natalie C So fun, funny and clever! A great show that draws out the giggles and full-tears streaming laughs! Wish they had more of these RiffTrax live shows! 😁😎♥️ Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/20/25 Full Review Jarrod Absolute riot, well worth price of admission!
