Day 237 - The Substitute (American)

Substituteposter.jpg
"Shale (Berenger) is a mercenary and a Vietnam veteran who returns home to Miami after a botched covert operation in Cuba in which three men from his platoon were killed. He surprises his girlfriend, Jane Hetzko (Diane Venora) at her apartment and is warmly welcomed. On the outside, Jane is a schoolteacher at inner-city Columbus High School, an institution with a gang problem, complete with metal detectors and gates protecting its boundaries. She also clashes with Juan Lacas (Anthony), leader of the KOD ("Kings of Destruction") gang and has her leg broken in a beating while attacked on a morning jog. Jane and Shale believe this to be related to the KOD, which prompts the latter to go undercover as an Ivy League-educated, government-affiliated substitute teacher for his girlfriend's class."
 
Another movie that was so bad I wished I didn't watch the whole thing. Berenger's acting is a bit stale as are the other actors in the film. The script could have been a thousand times better, there were holes and many clichés. This film had no heart and eventually spiraled out of control until it became nothing. I would suggest you skip this film!
