- TriviaIt was on this film that Michael Biehn learned from producer Rafaella DeLaurentiis that his likeness was being used without his permission for 'Alien 3". DeLaurentiis had passed through the set of "Alien 3" while she was in England and had seen the fake Biehn torso that was to be used for the film. When Biehn found out, his agents contacted the production and asked that the actor be compensated for the use of his image. Biehn was later paid.

Featured review
Straight forward
In this fairly straight forward, but pretty well done action film, Michael Biehn plays a likable guy working in his own watch repair shop. He suffers from amnesia and soon his past is about to catch up to him. Predictably he wasn't a watch repair man is his "previous life" but a lethal assassin.
The amnesia formula has been done many times, most notably with the blockbuster Bourne trilogy taken from Robert Ludlum's novels, but "Timebomb" has its merits. Michael Biehn is a good enough actor to play a convincing human action hero and the plot, while quite routine, delivers suspense and action. The mixing of science fiction into the film is also pretty interesting as it provides a few twists. However, there is enough cliché here to prevent this film from being anything special. Fans of the genre will enjoy it for what it is, others shouldn't even care to look. --- 6/10
Rated R for violence and profanity. Ages 13+
