Synopsis: Security agent Walker (Van Damme) sees his wife killed while he was about to enroll as officer in a new agency regulating time travel that has just been invented. Ten years later he discovers that some people are above the agency's law and use time travel for bad deeds.
Review: A good old JCVD movie, not around martial arts this one but it doesn't prevent him from giving some good kicks and showing off with leg-splits. The time-travel story is quite classic of the genre, with bad guys who want to make money from it and become powerful. There is a lot of action in this movie but it also spends time making us feel sorry for the main character who lost his wife. A nice movie in the end. I think I had already seen it, but maybe fifteen years ago as I didn't remember anything. Note that there is a scene in which Van Damme drinks heavily while watching old films of his lost wife and anticipating his dialog lines, very much like Tom Cruise does it in Minority Report, the only differences being that he is taking heavier drugs, that he is talking to his wife and son, and that they are in 3D.
Rating: 6 /10
