Then the movie started. Quentin promptly fell asleep, and I almost joined him. Around hour four I thought to myself, what was the last movie I saw before this? Timecop. I wouldn't put Timecop in the top ten of Van Damme movies, and I'd struggle to name another nine. It was still better than Pulp Fiction. I was never bored and staring at the exit sign at Timecop.
While not the greatest, I did appreciate the little butterfly effect touches. Every time Timecop came back to the present, little things would be different all over. I guess the concept had legs. The film was based on a comic, and there was a TV series based on the film, and a series of novels based on the series.
The series was written by Dan Parkinson and have neither Van Damme nor Ron Silver. I haven't seen anything Timecop since the original airing. I have seen Pulp Fiction, and my opinion has only gotten worse.
