	Author	Review
United Kingdom	William Thomas Empire	"Van Damme once again bends and twists his muscular frame to superhuman excess (...) Enough, indeed, to make this brainless romp a real blast (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Gene Siskel Chicago Reader	"Van Damme is compelling only when he takes his clothes off (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Janet Maslin The New York Times	"Years of tireless persistence have begun to work in Mr. Van Damme's favor. It's hard not to enjoy his energy, even if his acting gifts still leave a lot to be desired."	NEU
United States	Mick LaSalle San Francisco Chronicle	a satisfying science-fiction thriller"	POS
United States	Gene Siskel Chicago Tribune	"Van Damme is compelling only when he takes his clothes off, which he doesn't do often enough here."	NEU
United States	Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly	"The plot is more confusing than clever, and the only actor who seems to be having any fun is Silver"	NEU
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"A low-rent 'Terminator', is the kind of movie that is best not thought about at all (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEG
United States	Stephen Hunter Baltimore Sun	"Initially an amiable sci-fi thriller that toys with the paradoxes inherent in time travel, it finally gets drunk on them"	NEU
United States	Richard Harrington The Washington Post	"'Timecop' is good dumb fun, but it's likely to receive the same sentence most Van Damme projects do: a few weeks in movie theaters and eternity on video store shelves"	NEU
United States	Brian Lowry Variety	"For the most part, Hyams’ lackluster direction and the repetitive quality of the action sequences squander an intriguing premise"	NEG
