The Top Ten Time Travel Films of All Time

8.Timecop(1994)

I might be in the minority here but I actually really liked Timecop. I thought for a dumb Van Dammer it actually had some nice ideas and an interesting take on how we would actually police time travel if it ever did become a reality. Sure, the plot has more holes than Royal Birkdale and the villain used to be in Veronica€™s Closet but Timecop stands head and shoulders above almost all of Van Damme€™s other work and actually benefits from a reigned in performance from JCVD. The action won€™t quench a blood lust and the science on display here is extremely questionable: you can€™t travel forward because €œthe future hasn€™t happened yet€, Timecop doesn€™t even answer many of the myriad questions it asks and Ron Silver€™s character€™s death is one of the lamest villain deaths since the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles knocked Shredder into a garbage truck but for asking the question of time travel ethics, unbelievably, a Jean-Claude Van Damme movie actually becomes quite an interesting study of human behaviour.
