If you loved A Perfect Murder, try The Substitute
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Theysit in Crime / Drama / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to A Perfect Murder, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Substitute is
A ninth-period classroom, late fall, the hum of a broken fluorescent tube. A teacher leaves school in a wheelchair after her knee is destroyed by a student’s baseball bat. Her ex-special forces lover enrolls as a substitute, replacing his rifle with a gradebook. A Tarantino-worthy body count lands in the teacher’s lounge—final bell rings too late.
