The Substitute (Limited Edition With Blu-ray & Poster)

Tom Berenger plays Jonathan Shale as a man of action masquerading as an educator, infiltrating a troubled high school under the guise of a substitute teacher. Rather than treating the classroom as sanctuary, the film transforms it into a battleground, where discipline and justice collide with systemic neglect. What could have been a simple revenge narrative instead leans into the uneasy idea that authority, when imposed through force alone, may solve little beyond the immediate crisis.
