| The Substitute 2: School's Out (1998) Cast:Treat Williams,B.D Wong,Angel David Treat Williams stars as Karl Thomasson a mercenary who goes undercover at a school to solve the murder of his brother in this mediocre follow-up which has a few alright moments as well as a decent performance from Williams but fails to match the energy level of it's predecessor. Treat Williams has become somewhat of an actionstar in the B.movie market and it's somewhat surprising because Williams comes off as too nice half of the time to really work as a tough as nails/mad as hell vigilante that a movie of this caliber would work as. As far as actioners go this one is competently made and has a few decent moments but most of the time it doesn't work as well as it should and therefore The Substitute 2:School's Out is recommended mainly for Treat Williams fans as well as die hards of the genre because as flawed as this sequel is, fans of action will find a little something to like here.
