the great thing about van damme movies is that they are all terrible. once you start with that understanding, this one is actually kind of fun. the story (i use that term loosely) is about a guy who works for a new government agency that must patrol time travel (just go with it) to keep it safe from the bad guys. he must stop the bad guy from taking money from the past to pay for his presidential election campaign in the future (again, just go with it). van damme tries to stop him and save his wife who died 10 years before.
i think the best part of the film is that there is no attempt to make it look futuristic except for the cars, which look like white crazy garbage trucks. and of course there is a bunch of random fighting (which has aged terribly, you know, pre-matrix and all), and as there must always be in a van damme movie: he does the helicopter kick at least once. i guess as far as van damme movies go, this one is actually not bad.
