For many people with the scientific background, concept of time travel seems more suitable to fantasy than to science fiction genre. It seems that Hollywood filmmakers share that opinion, because almost always the films dealing with time travel usually don't bother with such boring problems like time travellers killing their own parents before their own conception etc. Sometimes those films touch such problems, but the time travel is more often than not just a background for standard adventure or mindless action. TIMECOP, 1994 action film directed by Peter Hyams, falls within that second category.
