Plot:
In the year 2004, time travel is not only a reality, but an opportunity to alter the past for power and profit. Jean-Claude Van Damme stars in the sci-fi thriller that mixes hard-hitting action with awesome special effects, romance and murder. Ron Silver co-stars as Van Damme's cunning adversary in what People Magazine touts "Clever and original, Timecop is a thinking man's movie."

Better than expected when I first bought it (before that I only saw pieces of the spin-off TV series). And the movie has the beautiful Mia Sara in it
The futuristic cars (of the year 2004 ) look bad though. The time-travel theme takes a little backseat to Van-Damme's ass-kicking, but not as bad as I feared.

What I really liked in this episode is the final scene with the pre-recorded videotape of Doyle.

I like the introduction of Wesley. At first introduced as a hard-assed demon hunter, but as it turns out, he hasn't much changed since we last seen him on Buffy.
"I am a rogue demon hunter!" - "What's a rogue demon?"
