Review of Cool Hand Luke (1967) by Keanex — 04 Feb 2021
Cool Hand Luke is the first Paul Newman movie that I have seen, and is generally older than the films I watch, but I greatly enjoyed it. It's a prison movie where a newcomer rebel changes up the way things go around the prison, earning the respect and admiration of the biggest/baddest guy in the prison, as well as everyone else.
There are some comedic moments (the eggs), some heartwarming moments (between Luke & Dragline), and moments of inspiration of Luke's determination. This movie reminds me a lot of Shawshank Redemption in those ways, though with very different outcomes.
It's an excellent movie that grew on me as it continued.
