Timecop

Timecop doesn't boggle the mind. It's merely a bog. You could write this adventure yourself. [22 Sept 1997, p.3D]

There is only so much time in a day, and Timecop, unless your only demand is for a lightweight diversion, fails to make a sufficient case for one-twenty-fourth of it. [22 Sept 1997, p.3C]

No flying feet, nor much blood here, nor much excitement either. [22 Sept 1997]

The creators of the show, some of whom were involved in the movie, have done little more than throw together familiar sci-fi fantasy influences, including H.G. Welles, "The Time Tunnel," "Quantum Leap," and even the movie "Mad Max," and then presented these elements without much intelligence or brio, despite the slick futuristic gadgetry and the moody, "X-Files" lighting. [22 Sept 1997, p.C9]

A mediocre and predictable adventure series based on a mediocre and predictable Jean-Claude Van Damme movie. [22 Sept 1997, p.5E]

It's dull and predictable and makes that old '60s time-travel series Time Tunnel look like the work of Robert Heinlein. [22 Sept 1997, p.33]

The cast doesn't seem especially in tune with the material. The script's attempted witticisms, for example, topple from King's tongue like bricks...H.G. probably would throw one at Timecop.
