While I loved the idea behind Timecop, I hated the first movie. I thought it was really poorly done. With such a great idea, there were so many different directions the writers could have gone in, and the one they chose was just sloppy, however they made up for that in the second one. Too bad it was done in a low budget, direct-to-video film, that starred absolutely no one of any name recognition. In the second installment of Timecop, Anti-Government Terrorists want to change the United States to make it more like the way they want it to be, and the only thing stopping them is The Time Enforcement Commission. Led by former agent, Brandon Miller (Thomas Ian Griffin), the terrorist decide to go back and take out the agents before they are able to defend themselves, with them out of the way, they'll be able to do anything they want, but the only thing stopping them is Ryan Chan (Jason Scott Lee) The top Timecop, who they thought had been stranded in the past. The story here is much better than it was in the first film and much more what I expected to see. In ninety minutes, we go from the roaring twenties, to the wild west, and even Nazi Germany on this amazing chase through time. The film is however lacking in several ways, most important of all the cast. A low budget direct-to-video film means shotty special effects and worst of all a cast of actors no one has ever heard of. Jason Scott Lee stars, and while he has the moves, he butchers a lot of lines and really hasn't mastered emotions yet. As for his counterpart, Thomas Ian Griffin, he was kind of all over the place, so this was not the kind of film that will ever be used in an acting class, but by in large the story was enjoyable and does offer some redemption for a series that had so much promise.

It could have been a little longer, though. The actors actually did a decent enough job. The director is normally a stunt coordinator, so it's got a kind of TV show quality eye to the performances... not X-Files or Homeland caliber, mind you. It's adequate, and that's probably how they were shooting. Accessible, clear, and not too many takes to get some really deep moment. The effects weren't terrible. And Andy frigg'n Gray did the music! That left me in shock at the end. Who's EVER done a cover of Piledrive?! Oh, this isn't a cover; it's an unreleased remix from Andy. Dude! Even as-is, a theatrical release wouldn't have been a bad idea. I think it would have made more money. This was before the move to digital distribution, so it was much more expensive back then, but I think people have a good enough memory of the original movie and the lead from the Jungle Book to have gone. The Berlin Decision is worth viewing on a pay site.

I thought that this Movie was very entertaining it kind of reminds you of a Back to the Future with the parents and the son.Jason Scott Lee brought more than an action element to the movie he brought a personal touch and edge to it that most action films do not display.The only thing is a lot of people still see him as the Bruce Lee character that he did on the movie "Dragon the Bruce Lee Story" and that is because he did so well in it.If people can look past that and just watch the movie for what it is an action adventure you will definitely enjoy this movie.And look forward to the next.

I actually think first of all what happens when same matter and same place at same time thing was cool considering what happens to Douglas in this sequel.Plus the movie is better than the first in some ways.For instance what happens in this film to dangerous convicts such as the Frank Knight character who are brought back to trial is really cool.Plus the film brings up interesting questions about time travel and yet has a lot of cool action and special effects as well.I hope there is a Timecop 3 cause this one was really good.
