In 1996's "The Substitute" Tom Berenger played a former CIA mercenary who went into action to infiltrate a troubled inner city high school - as a substitute teacher -- after a young thug broke his teacher girlfriend's leg. Not surprisingly, he found all sorts of corruption and - in best vigilante fashion - cleaned house. Playing off the same sort of thematic material that fueled all of those Charles Bronson films back in the 1970s, the film wasn't a great artistic endeavor by any means, but it had its entertaining moments for those who enjoy seeing the bad guys face some military style retribution.

While no huge box office success, the film did spawn two straight to video sequels, 1998's "The Substitute 2: School's Out" and 1999's "The Substitute 3: Winner Takes All" where Treat Williams ("Deep Rising," "1941") replaced Berenger in the lead/title role and delivered the same sort of payback to the villains, but in even more predictable and increasingly preposterous storylines.

Here, that trend continues as Williams makes his third outing as the undercover cop who takes on more bad students. This time around they're a bunch of neo-Nazis, and since they're obviously so bad - when not clichéd - viewers have no option but to root for their comeuppance.

Director Robert Radler (who directed the 3rd film and the two "Best of the Best" films) and screenwriter Dan Gurskis (several TV movies) bring absolutely nothing new to this genre of films, and not even the presence or looks of Angie Everhart ("Bordello of Blood," "Jade") can save this production, although Williams - obviously in need of a paycheck for continuing to appear in this series - brings far more dignity to the character and film than is to be expected.

Extras: Scene selection/Jump to any scene. Running audio commentary by director Joel Schumacher. 4 Casting sessions with lead actor Colin Farrell. Theatrical trailer for this film and "Tora! Tora!

One man's defiance, however, galvanizes every member of the platoon. Soon after Roland Bozz (Colin Farrell) joins A-Company, the lines of opinion that divide the conscience of the nation begin to penetrate the ranks of the soldiers. Just released from the base stockade, Bozz wants out of the army, and he stages small acts of protest.

Bozz' disobedience triggers unexpected and far-reaching consequences. We begin to see that Bozz, Paxton, Miter, Cantwell, Wilson, Johnson (Russell Richardson) and the others are children, handed rifles and forced into adult uniforms. But nothing Bozz does can save himself or the boys in Second Platoon from Tigerland, a wilderness designated by the army for jungle combat simulation. Their last stop before the war. Deep in the backwoods of Louisiana, with little hope of escaping Vietnam, Bozz rushes towards an action that no one - not even he - could have anticipated.

Returning for the second time of recent to a smaller, more intimate and decidedly less expensive scale than his earlier, big budget Hollywood films such as "Batman and Robin" and "A Time to Kill," director Joel Schumacher followed "Flawless" with this Vietnam War picture that never sets foot in that land and barely did so in the theaters despite receiving a great deal of positive critical acclaim.

While neither this film nor the earlier effort lived up to the predecessor's descriptive title, this work - shot on 16mm film stock in a grainy and handheld "you are there" approach - is far more engaging and engrossing. Most of that's due to the terrific breakout performance from lead actor Colin Farrell as the reluctant, troublemaker soldier who turns out to be much more than he initially appears.

Although it inevitably and unavoidably borrows from other Vietnam War-based flicks in both its training camp and jungle "combat" footage, the film is nevertheless often captivating to watch, thanks to Schumacher's reliance on substance over spectacle and Farrell's take on his character.
