But these scenes moved a bit too fast for me to catch up, so had to watch a few times. I found it confusing at one point as to what exactly what Miller (the antagonist) had been doing as Anderson burst back and forth through time trying to track him down, with each return highlighting the consequences of his actions. The music grounds well with the film, especially at the climax of the last fight scene. Support performances were also above the standard you might expect and while the fight scenes are not spectacular, but they are certainly more than competent. Jamie Scott Lee's performance is great as usual, portraying Anderson as someone trying his best to hold himself together.
Timecop the berlin decision movie#
I thought this film was pretty good, considering a sequel to a movie like Timecop tends to be destined as a flop. It's far better than it has any right to be. I guess Jason Scott Lee has still been practicing since he did Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story all of those years ago. In terms of action, the film is exceptional at demonstrating fast, brutal Jeet Kune Do moves. It isn't horrible, but it's not very cinematic either. Whereas the first film had fantastically moody photography, the sequel looks like an above average television film. The only way Timecop 2 suffers in comparison to the first is in the cinematography.
Basically, the film is stuffed with great ideas, good acting, and decent action scenes. It's thought-provoking and even a little emotional. But amazingly, at the same time, the filmmakers manage to acknowledge all of the great moral or ethical dilemmas that a time altering premise provides. On the one hand, the hero played by Jason Scott Lee is constantly jumping from time period to time period, so there's always some action or intrigue going on. Until Timecop 2, I don't think I had ever seen a cheap, direct-to-video sequel that was actually good and possibly even better than its theatrical predecessor! And it's not just because of the action either - the best thing about the film is its story.
