 i wish it had more action September 8, 2007
falcon (canada)
this movie was not bad.it's a little too dramatic for my tastes.there
is some action,just not as much as i'd hoped for.i was bored for a lot
of it.there's a lot of talking in this movie,but nothing memorable
about that aspect.the concept has likely been done before.a new
substitute takes over teaching duties usually in a classroom full of
troubled teens/gang members,delinquents,etc.but this sub is no ordinary
sub.he has skills.in fact he isn't actually a teacher.but he pretend to
be.he has ulterior motives.usually,someone he knows has been either
killed or seriously injured.so he poses as a teacher to find out the
truth.he usually teaches the students,some of them anyway,respect for
themselves and tries to get them on the right track in life.that's
pretty much the plot line for the substitute,among other similar
movies.if you like that kind of movie,and you don't mind a fair amount
of dialogue,with a bit of action,you might like "The Substitute".i
didn't like it all that much,so i'd have to give it a 2/5
 "The Substitute" Review April 26, 2004
Crazy Jim (Massachusetts)
Tom Berenger is the head of a top-secret team of mercernaries, who decides to infiltrate a Miami high school after his girlfriend is beaten up, Nancy Kerrigan style, by one of the students. As it turns out, the school is being run by drug dealers and gang goons who answer to the principal, a former cop who runs a high-grade drug lab out of the basement in the gym. Any movie with Ernie Hudson as an evil high school principal, a wacked-out William Forsythe, and Latin singer Marc Anthony as the juvenile leader of a gang creatively titled the "Kings Of Destruction" can't be all bad, can it? Think of it as "Dangerous Minds" written for Steven Seagal.
 Awesome March 14, 2004
Jack Kimble (Chicago, IL)
Nothing beats a teacher putting a bunch of wannabe tough guys in there place and making it look easy. Starts out with a former mercanary/marines girlfriend being assaulted by a gang from a local high school she teaches at. Completely fed up, Shale decides to take the matter into his own hands and fakes some credentials and becomes a sub at her high school. Highly recommended. You'll find yourself rooting for Shale the whole way.
let me tell you December 21, 2003
the only reason i saw this movie cause it was filmed at my high school miami senior high.i wasnt going there at the time but my sister was. so i saw it and didnt like it much but it was cool to see the school on film and know ive been there millions of times. p.s the school is not all f**ked up like they showed it they spray painted it and messed it up for filming.
 THIS IS THE BEST MOVIE TOM BERENGER HAS EVER BEEN IN December 19, 2003

A TOUGH MERCENARY [TOM BERENGER] BECOMES A SUBSTITUTE TEACHER FOR A CRIME INFESTED SCHOOL. VERY INTERESTING. THIS IS PROBABLY AS GOOD AS A TOM BERENGER MOVIE IS GONNA GET. BELIEVE IT OR NOT, MARC ANTHONY [WHO'S BEST REMEMBERED FOR 1998'S ''I NEED TO KNOW''] ACTUALLY HAS A ROLE IN THIS MOVIE AS A GANG LEADER. THIS IS DEFINITELY WORTH WATCHING. FOLLOWED BY THREE DIRECT-TO-VIDEO SEQUELS.
