Although a b-movie, I thoroughly enjoyed this. You know when you're just about to roll over and go to sleep, and a late movie catches your eye.. and 90 minutes later you know you're gonna be tired tomorrow, but that's okay because you got to see a cool movie?
It's a pretty 'A-Team' sort of plot - a MERC becomes a substitute teacher to crack a drug-distribution ring (and there was some sort of personal vendetta too, involving an attack on his teacher girlfriend - but I missed the beginning). You can imagine Patrick Swayze, even Steven Segal in this sort of "quiet, big-hearted, kicker-of-ass" role - but they wouldn't be as good. You can't help but grin in anticipation when he calls in his MERC buddies for help (including a nicely deranged turn from William Forsyth, who is the detective in Deuce Bigalow).
Very enjoyable, with a slightly harder edge than you'd expect from a movie of this type.
