“A decade before Matt Damonu0026#39;s first portrayal of Jason Bourne, u0026quot;Timebombu0026quot; shows us a mind-control victim running from government assassins with a woman while attempting to learn his true identity.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eVersatile action star Michael Biehn (u0026quot;The Terminatoru0026quot;, u0026quot;Aliensu0026quot;, u0026quot;The Abyssu0026quot;) portrays Eddy Kay, a watchmakeru0026#39;s assistant whose quiet, low-key life changes after he rescues a woman and her child from a burning building on his way home from work. Hailing him as a hero, local TV stations show him on screen, much to the concern of Col. Taylor (Richard Jordan), a black-ops leader whose team is in Los Angeles to assassinate a former special prosecutor who is an outspoken critic of covert operations and who is about to be confirmed as the new Attorney General. Taylor recognizes Eddy as a former team member thought to have died in a botched assignment. Believing that Eddy is going to compromise their mission, Taylor makes eliminating Eddy the teamu0026#39;s top priority.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAwakening to find someone attacking him with a knife, Eddy defends himself, and the assailant flees into the night. When Eddy starts having nightmares and flashbacks showing him glimpses of a former, violent life he does not recognize, he seeks the help of psychotherapist Anna Nolmar (Patsy Kensit), a recent watch-repair customer. After more attempts on his life, Eddy suspects that Dr. Nolmar is involved, so he kidnaps her and takes her with him on the run. He soon realizes that she is not to blame, but now the assassins are targeting them both.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe film would deserve a higher rating were it not for its many plot gaps and confusing premise. Richard Jordanu0026#39;s strong performance initially convinces us that Eddy is a threat, but why he thinks Eddy has risen from the dead specifically to defeat their current operation is never satisfactorily explained.”
