Review of Cool Hand Luke (1967) by Monty H — 05 Nov 2011
Paul Newman is at his very best as Luke, a former soldier who gets sent to a prison chain gang. He stands up to the sadistic guards and even worse warden and becomes the leader of his fellow prisoners. Newman gives another Oscar worthy performance which he didn't win for his portrayal of Luke. This drama is hard hitting but also has some welcome lighter moments. This is a pretty good movie from the 60's. A worthy addition to Newman's resume.

Captain, Road Prison 36: What we've got here is... failure to communicate. Some men you just can't reach. So you get what we had here last week, which is the way he wants it... well, he gets it. I don't like it any more than you men.
