Rating: Summary: Um. Review: Well. What exactly do you say to this movie? Treat Williams is terrific, I must admit. There's the required reference to Tom Berringer's character in this one, just to have the tie-in. There's the family connection (this keeps up, I'm going to believe that every merc is related somehow to a high-school teacher). It's really a very sequel-sih sequel. Sort of a crayoly copy of the original. It's like, you know how you have those old music files called midis, where the notes to the song are on key but played in that awful synthysized tone? Well, that. The original Substitute was the song; this is the midi. I should have rented it, not bought it. I'm still glad I got to watch it, but unlike the original I'll probably never watch it again.
