(1996) The Substitute.
ACTION.
Tom Berenger as Jonathon ex-mercenary for hire during the Cuban regime is now posing undercover as someone else as a substitute, after his girlfriend's legs were smashed up connected with the class she was teaching to which one of them is a leader of a gang called the 'Kings of destruction" or the KOD headed by singer and actor Marc Anthony as Juan.
After a second viewing, I couldn't believe how mediocre much of the acting was with Berenger being the most appealing person amongst the whole cast and his actors as mercs working alongside with him. As a matter of fact most of this film is rather pretentious forcing me to use the fast forward button on my remote control while playing up to the action sequences and the film doesn't seem half as bad as some people made out to be since one have to be insane to listen to all the pointless babbling when viewers should already figure out way before the film is even over that the principal is corrupted.
2.5 out of 4.
