kormanticOh, TIMECOP.
This Wikipedia description may be the best thing ever:
The film stars Jean-Claude Van Damme as a U.S. Federal agent in the late 1990s and early 2000s, when time travel is possible. It also stars Ron Silver as a rogue politician and Mia Sara as the agent's wife. The story follows an interconnected web of episodes in the agent's life (or perhaps lives) as he fights time-travel crime and investigates the politician's unusually successful career.
Ron Silver is actually kind of the greatest villain ever: I mean, he really puts his back into killing JCVD in the past, man. But the phrases from the wiki blurb are the best: "rogue politician" and "or perhaps lives"?? P.S., Mia Sara is actually completely delightful in her ten seconds of screen time as "agent's wife" and DOOMED LOVE. Plus, she totally shoots a guy in the goolies.
Also, for reals, aside from The Muscles from Brussels, this is the most Canadian movie ever made. Callum Kieth Rennie OPENS THE FILM as a random baddass motherfuckin' time crook who robs the Confederate Army... and then is inexplicably never seen again. WHY? He is always the best Captain Henchman! And he's also basically the only competent time traveler we even see!
Anyway. TIMECOP!
