El sustituto Ratings & Reviews
- adey1007 de febrero de 2026love these kind of films this didnt dissapoint
- jamessa8427 de julio de 2025This is about the 5th time I've seen The Substitute and I think it gets better every time. And I never get tired of watching Tom Berenger. GR8 acting by the entire cast. Four thumbs up 👍👍👍👍.
- monster365523 de junio de 2025Good classic love story action movie,
- arma2065 de junio de 2025This was a very entertaining movie. Tom Berenger was a good choice for this character. If you enjoy watching high school punks get humbled and taught some respect then you'll love this movie. The supporting cast was also excellent.
- Dory Melyon1 de febrero de 2026it’s all about the “fiber”! 🤣
- CMoreMovies18 de enero de 2026I can't imagine police, even corrupt police, waiting to respond until three hours after a bazooka goes off on school grounds, but hey, it's the 90s! A product of it's time, this movie had solid characters and acting, but suffered from a bipolar story that somehow combined a touch of the anti-war, dreamer, post-Vietnam sentiment, with a healthy helping of the militant, bad-ass righteousness present for the War on Drugs. I like that the film is trying to say something with it's patchwork morals. "Don't do drugs, kids," and "live by the sword, die by the sword" are good messages. Having the American military, rogue as Shale's possie is, roll into a minority-run, underprivileged high school and deliver said messages, in part at gunpoint, is a less-good, thoughtless way of getting these messages across. If you want to see a white, macho, leading man from the 80s or 90s blow away nameless villains watch Die Hard; the action is better, and so is the writing.
- Julie John5 de julio de 2025I really enjoyed this film it was different to see a mercenary take down crooked gangs not saying much more give the story line away
- simonb11129 de noviembre de 2025Well acted
- Boxing Bull14 de junio de 2025Solid action film, surprisingly good
- Einie4 de junio de 2025It suffers from the poor editing. Is still enjoyable
