| The Substitute 3:Winner Takes It All (1999) Cast:Treat Williams,Rebecca Staab,Claudia Christian Treat Williams returns for some more ho-hum actionflick that casts him once again as a mercenary who takes up for an attacked teacher to teach those responsible a lesson they won't forget. It seems like the element is back again, you would think that after being made to substitute for his friend/teacher's class once that the chances of getting a loved one attacked who just happens to be a teacher would be rare but that's not the case and basicly the same thing happens as the first two except that none of it is all that enjoyable. The problem with this movie is that it's far too heavy-handed and stupid to really enjoy, a few aspects of the film works but mainly this stands as the worst of the lot, lacking the enjoyable campiness of the 1st and the over the top excess of 2 and 4. Even the actionscenes are tedious. D.Robert Radler *1/2 |
