Review of Cool Hand Luke (1967) by Ryan R — 13 Aug 2010
The seminal prison film. Luke as portrayed by Paul Newman gives a depth and emotional resonance rarely seen in contemporary films. Luke is part of a prison chain gang who works repairing roads and other municipal projects.
His interactions with his fellow prisoners and guards are the meat of the movie. Everyone is at the top of their game for this film. Just go see it and you'll see how incredible it is. And everyone knows the famous, "What we have here is - failure to communicate".
I'll say it again. See it! Watch it! Paul Newman at his best.
