Negative Positive
Title: PAINFUL
Review: Not a sequel at all, just a cheap remake. All the actors give it their best, direction and cinematography do shine at times, but the plot sucks. The story denies everything Eddie learned in the Hustler. Forrest Whitaker's small role is probably the best thing about this waste of celluoid, and even that's a painful scene! And the ending, oh the ending, THERE IS NONE!
