heard this movie was good when it came out... but 11 years later the special effects
and fighting scenes are way outdated and painful to watch. The acting is also painful,
especially a forced romantic scene that had a terrible segway leading into it.
I guess its best purpose today would be to watch as an unintentional comedy with some of your buddies.
On a positive note, Tom Berenger is a classic actor, and saves this movie from being absolutely terrible.

best movie

I've seen this movie everytime it shows on cable or free movie weekends so I never saw it in theatres. As far as a movie goes....it is pretty formulaic. There certainly are a lot of very stereotypical characters, but I think the acting is great enough to enjoy it. Each actor plays their role well. It pulls you into the story quickly and easily. A lot of actors when they were younger too including some from Law and Order, The Closer....Marc Anthony... I'd recommend renting this as an action movie pick. If you liked the Samuel L. Jackson movie where he plays a teacher, you'll like this one.

SUBSTITUTE; WEAK AND VIOLENT.......NEEDS SCHOOLING

This film like many formulaic films of the anglo-teacher coming in to save the poor disenfranchised Black and Brown inner city students is repulsive, ignorant and racist.
I've liked Director Mandel' previous efforts but this one is a sad reminder that
"The Substitute" needs some schooling!

This is really a good movie. If you really think it is quite much, then I think you never lived in the southeast or southwest of the United States were this stuff really happens on a daily basis. Middle America you need to wake up.

If your were a fan of The Principal or Dangerous Minds, this is right up your alley, This is the best of the school action movies, just because the cast is great it not a one or two people that famous there several great actors, and a great storyline that just give it that great action movie feel.

Not Bad...

If you like gang violence and a lot of fighting this is a must see. The acting is suprisingly good and the plot isnt bad.
