If I ran the world – and, god willing, I will someday – 'Timecop' would always be streaming somewhere. Always.

'Timecop' feels like the ultimate streaming movie to me something cheesy and vacuous that you can watch late at night after you've had a few drinks or a few edibles. You don't sit down to watch a movie called 'Timecop' and expect it to be well-plotted. You expect it to involve time and cops. Logic is not one of 'Timecop''s strengths, and that's fine – it doesn't have to be. But Van Damme is up against a powerful enemy – a slimy Senator played by Ron Silver who is using time travel to steal a lot of money so he can fund his presidential election. That sounds like a needlessly complicated way to make money, but what do I know. When mankind perfects time travel, the government establishes the Time Enforcement Commission to thwart criminal attempts to alter the timeline. 'Timecop' is an incredibly silly sci-fi actioner that finds Van Damme playing a lawman tasked with making sure crooks don't use time travel to mess up the past and change the future as a result. Sometimes you want high-art, and sometimes you want to watch Jean-Claude Van Damme travel through time and do some splits. Brutal and fast-paced, if you're tired of boring big-budget Hollywood action and want something more exciting, this is it. Thus the stage is set for scene after scene where Scott Adkins fights hordes of dudes, beating them mercilessly while getting banged up himself (at one point he spits out some of his own teeth, and then keeps fighting). Cain ends up getting sent to prison after a horrible mistake, and once he's locked up, he's in serious danger. Because his brother, fearing that Cain will rat him out to the authorities, has put a hit out on his own flesh and blood. So now Cain has to survive in prison long enough to get out and confront his brother. Johnson and starring Scott Adkins, who has made a name for himself as a low-budget action start who looks like he can really beat people to death with his bare hands, 'Avengement' is a gritty, violent film about Cain (Adkins), brother of a powerful loan shark. Directed by straight-to-VOD action expert Jesse V. But it doesn't matter, because, real word or not, 'Avengement' kicks ass. Is 'avengement' even a word? I don't think it is.

Again: this is minor Spielberg, but it doesn't mean we can't enjoy it. All of this baffles Dixon, who can't figure out what Viktor's end game is. Instead, Viktor, with no place to go, begins living within the airport, and making friends with several other employees in the process. This means Viktor has is unable to leave the airport to enter the U.S., and he can't return home, either, because his passport is no longer valid. Frank Dixon (Stanley Tucci), the Acting Field Commissioner at the airport, assumes Viktor will simply sneak out of the airport and then become someone else's problem. is no longer recognizing its current government.

Viktor has come to New York City, and while he's hanging out in JFK Airport, he receives some shocking news: Krakozhia has undergone a military coup and the U.S. Hanks is Viktor Navorski, a resident of the (fictional) nation of Krakozhia. This is a charming, sweet little film where Tom Hanks gets stuck in an airport. And that's it, really! It's probably one of the most low-key movies Spielberg has made in years. Or, you can light some incense and meditate in front of a Timecop poster and wait for the film to beam itself into your consciousness (you will need to have already purchased a Timecop poster for this particular strategy to work).I know people think of ' The Terminal' as 'minor Spielberg,' and I won't argue with that. But a minor Spielberg movie is still better than most other films, and 'The Terminal' deserves more love. You can order a copy from Amazon, but if you're in a situation where you need to watch Timecop immediately, which I suspect you are, then you need to rent or buy it from Amazon's streaming service. It isn't on Netflix streaming at the time of this writing, and, in fact, Netflix's supply of Van Damme movies is woefully anemic (it is only seven titles deep, one of which is the sixth Universal Soldier installment, which is the Van Damme equivalent of the fifth Police Academy). For whatever reason, the demand for Timecop isn't sufficient enough to provoke retailers into keeping a ready stock of Timecop DVDs, videocassettes, or Blu-rays. If you want a physical copy of Timecop, you might have to actually travel back in time to acquire it, because finding one in 2014 is more challenging than I expected.
