Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
The entire setup is too garish to be credible.
– Stephen Holden,
New York Times,
1 Jan 2000
rotten:
The title changes, the actors change, and the superficial details of the story change, but it is always about exactly the same thing: heavily armed men shooting at one another.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,
1 Jan 2000
fresh:
Those who appreciate the irony of a killing machine turned loose on a pack of nasty students will find The Substitute a source of nonstop delight.
– Mick LaSalle,
San Francisco Chronicle,
1 Jan 2000
rotten:
Aside from a lot of only moderately-satisfying violence, The Substitute comes across as rather lame.
– James Berardinelli,
ReelViews,
1 Jan 2000
fresh:
There's a sense of shrewd observation throughout The Substitute that makes it come alive and seem quite a few cuts above such usual genre fare.
– Kevin Thomas,
