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

    As time-travel stories go, Timecop is strictly by-the-numbers. [22 Sept 1997, p.E1]

    It doesn't help that the hero is tediously macho and wisecracking. But then Timecop diminishes history into a silly, trivial adventure with a few jazzy special effects. [21 Sept 1997, p.F1]

    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]

    Enjoying Timecop either requires putting your mind entirely into neutral or simply deciding to suspend a lot of disbelief. I couldn't suspend enough, so I wound up worrying about little things like why the folks of Victorian London, which he visits in tonight's opener, don't think Logan's spiky 1997 haircut is one bit peculiar.

    The special effects on "Timecop" are below feature-film standards, but they're better than the Cockney accents.

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