Negative Positive
Title: Painful
Review: I bought this DVD with the understanding that it was a sequel of sorts to "My Name is Nobody," which is one of my all-time favorite films. Sadly, this movie is no sequel, except for the fact that in both movies Terence Hill plays a larger-than-life character from the Old West with outlandish gun-handling skills. The humor that worked so well in "Nobody" is sorely lacking here -- the film is so bad that one cannot even find it funny as a satire on the spaghetti Western genre. The supporting cast is dreadful, the film quality is horrible, the plot is miserable, and the dialogue is laughable (when is the last time, for example, you heard a gunman call his opponent a "booby" during a gunfight?). The only merit to the film is that Terence Hill is fun to watch -- yet even he seems to trudging through this film -- Hill's half-hearted charm is the only thing that rescued this dud from a single star.
