IMDb plot summary: Max Walker, an officer for a security agency that regulates time travel, must fend for his life against a shady politician who's intent on changing the past to control the future.
Directed by Peter Hyams. Starring Jean-Claude Van Damme, Mia Sara, and Ron Silver.
This was pretty fun. Some good fight sequences, and it allows the time travel rules to be present and active without ever feeling like too much of an expository infodump. (And, whoo, does that Chekov's gun pay off at the end, in an unexpectedly delightful and weird moment.) The film's pacing is also effective, getting right to the meat of the given situation and then moving on before it wears out its welcome. This doesn't break new ground or wow me, but it was an enjoyable way to spend an evening, and if you like fight-sequence-heavy action movies with a dash of sci-fi, this is probably one you should check out if you haven't!
