The Substitute

Directed by Robert Mandel
The most dangerous thing about school used to be the students.

When an inner-city Miami schoolteacher gets her knee broken after standing up to the school's gang leader, her mercenary combat specialist boyfriend goes undercover as a substitute teacher to take down the punk.
