MIA SARA TIMECOP MOVIE

Van Damme doesn't really want to mess around with changes in history until he discovers that his wife was murdered during a skirmish brought on by the senator's time-travel manipulations. Eventually, however, he discovers that an evil senator (Ron Silver) is the head of a time-traveling criminal ring, organized to collect big bucks so he can mount a monumental presidential campaign.Īlong the way, there is a prominent subplot that has Van Damme coming up with a way to save his wife (Mia Sara), who was killed a decade earlier. In 1994 an American scientist creates a means of breaking the time barrier, so the government sets up a law enforcement unit to keep potential bad guys from traveling to the past to cash in on historical knowledge.Īs the time frame moves forward to 2004, Van Damme is a maverick cop assigned to bring back such lawbreakers. The story is time-travel stuff, which is always problematic. Still, undiscriminating action fans will probably have a good time. (Including a couple of unnecessary sex scenes.) (Steven Seagal, are you listening?)īut in terms of plot and direction, there are loopholes galore and too much in-your-face audience-pummeling for my taste. There's even a gag about Van Damme's occasionally sounding unintelligible. The special-effects are first-rate in what is obviously a big-budget production and Van Damme himself has learned the Schwarzenegger lesson - smile, flash your natural charisma and don't take yourself too seriously.
