Critic Reviews of "The Substitute"
Los Angeles TimesFebruary 13, 2001There's a sense of shrewd observation throughout The Substitute that makes it come alive and seem quite a few cuts above such usual genre fare.
Film.comJanuary 01, 2000An angry, white, mercenary movie out to spill blood and beat its manly chest.
Film.comJanuary 01, 2000There's a certain amount of camp value to this over-the-top thriller, which might as well be called Rambo Goes to High School.
Chicago Sun-TimesJanuary 01, 2000The title changes, the actors change, and the superficial details of the story change, but it is always about exactly the same thing: heavily armed men shooting at one another.
ReelViewsJanuary 01, 2000Aside from a lot of only moderately-satisfying violence, The Substitute comes across as rather lame.
New York TimesJanuary 01, 2000The entire setup is too garish to be credible.
Cinema CrazedAugust 21, 2014Worth the time for its occasional nuggets of interesting action, and the performance by Berenger.
Fantastica DailyOctober 09, 2005What begins as watchable quickly degenerates into a no-brain action flick that produces a ton of derisive laughter.
About.comJuly 22, 2003Really fun movie. Twist on the "Dangerous Minds" scenario.
eFilmCritic.comMarch 21, 2003Mediocre action flick with an ex-marine teacher taking his gang-banging students to task. Don't bother.
Deseret News, Salt Lake CityJanuary 01, 2000The silliness of The Substitute escalates as the film progresses, so that by the end there have been plenty of laughs during 'serious' scenes.
CinematterJanuary 01, 2000A poorly written and barely acted, but crowd-pleasing revenge flick.
