What critics compared Timecop to
The kind of risk which family-friendly film The Adam Project shares along the same lines as E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982), The Last Starfighter (1984), and Flight of the Navigator (1986), pushing the bounds of the PG-13 rating in its action set pieces, character interactions, and narrative themes to feel a touch more like Timecop (1994) from time to time.
A return to formulaic thrillers for Director Tony Scott, “Deja Vu” plays out like a slicker and more realistic hybrid of a Bruckheimer movie combined with 1994’s rather silly “Timecop”.
The British auteur recreates 1994's Timecop with better special effects and a vastly more convoluted plot.
It's clear almost immediately that screenwriter Bruce Joel Rubin - best known for penning unapologetically sentimental flicks like 1990's Ghost and 1993's My Life - is primarily interested in exploring the more overtly maudlin elements within the source material, which ensures that the film will probably be received best by those viewers with a high tolerance for syrupy love stories (ie this is more The Notebook than Timecop).

The sci-fi flick also stars Bruce Willis and Emily Blunt, and mashes together elements from the likable Jean-Claude Van Damme B-movie, Timecop, and the Brian DePalma telepathic horror flick The Fury.
…when two versions of the star scrolls touched and caused a Timecop (1994)-style event…
At least it's better than the last Van Damme-Hyams collaboration, the dull, laughable Timecop.
