Advantages: Enjoyable stuff, easy on the brain cells, good action scenes Disadvantages: Not the best film you're ever likely to see, some duff plot flaws in time-travel logic
...the fact that at one time he was a box-office action hero with a decent reputation. Whilst never in the same league as Schwarzanegger, Stallone and Willis, the Muscles from Brussels did endure some success in the early nineties where he worked with some wily action director's (Roland Emmerich, John Woo and Peter Hyams) and where some of his films (Timecop, Nowhere to Run, Sudden Death, Universal Solidier, Kickboxer) were actually well-crafted, fast ... ...is recruited into a secret time enforcement agency - the perfection of time travel brings with it new opportunities for criminals and the government sets up a special police force to ensure the new technology isn't abused.

After this the plot of the evil politicia is revealed in that he is trying to get together moeny by changing what he did in the past to fund his campign to be President. Its that simple.
