Van Damme's biggest hit. This movie is filled with plot holes and doesn't really make any sense and feels like whole chunks of the film have been edited out (the jarring jump from 1994 to 2004 with nothing to set it up comes to mind). Still it's a lot of fun and you will have a good time watching it. Funny how that works sometimes? Also you get to see Mia Sara’s boobies so there’s that. movie also has one of the most memorable opening scenes involving a guy who travelled back to 1800s Georgia to steal some gold. Really grabs you in  |

Definitely Van Damme's finest movie. I love time travel stories and while this one is very dated now (remember back when 2004 was considered the future!?) it makes for an entertaining ride.

I don't find it very interesting. Its DTV sequel The Berlin Decision is a better movie, concerning a group of renegade timecops who wish to assassinate Hitler in 1939 and a good guy who wants to stop them. Sudden Death, the other Van Damme - Peter Hyams collaboration, is also a more entertaining flick. It had a sequel/reboot recently with Michael Jai White, which is frankly a baffling decision to me.

That movie did two things right: updating it from hockey to basketball (can't be too similar), and not having the son fall into a puddle of his own tears at the end: "I didn't move, dad. I didn't move". I get listening to your dad, but Christ, child, the building was starting to fall apart. Your dad would be okay if you moved to avoid certain death. Sudden death even.

I suppose that change was made because white men can't jump?

It was goofy, but I found myself really enjoying it. Ron Silver was a pretty enjoyable, and in some ways prescient, villain. That said, I wouldn't go as far as to call it Van Damme's best, even if it was his biggest hit. Give me Hard Target any day. Oooh, or The Quest! That one was a lot of deranged, overblown fun.

This was one of those flicks I watched every single time I’d go to my cousins for the weekend. Loved it.
Haven’t seen it in years tho and now I kinda want to watch it again.
