This as good a movie you can hope to see, until One Flew comes along and does it better.

Gotcher mind right Luke? There seems to be a failure to communicate!

Can be a little slow at times, but a very cool movie.

There are movies and then there is " Cool Hand Luke" incredible Film.

Not bad, I just found it really boring. Too slow and not very interesting plot.

The wish of freedom!

I grew up watching this movie and have loved it my whole life. Just watched it and still in love

One man manages to keep his "cool" amidst the brutal inhumanity of a harsh prison system! Luke Jackson earns the admiration of his fellow prisoners and the ire of the warden for his free-spirited and rebellious streak, which leads him to pull off some daring jailbreaks that only cement his legacy as a rebel on the run. With Paul Newman adding his charm and wit to the titular character, we find ourselves loving the character despite the fact that he's an outlaw!

This movie should be on everyone's watch list. I believe it's one of the greatest prison movies of all time! Paul Newman is obviously fantastic as Luke, but I believe that the entire cast of this film "nailed" it.

A must see for any movie lover.

Watching this movie is a very unique experience. The plot is painfully slow (and seemingly doesn't even exist for the first half of the movie). However, the atmosphere and the acting are so outstanding that they turn this into an amazing movie.

This movie has fantastic acting, but no plot. It is a depressing string of events that leave the viewer feeling like life has no meaning. This is a story of a sad, foolish man living a sad life that only gets worse as the film goes on. 0/10, do not recommend.

This movie has a great watch! The acting, the sets the small subtle details, everything about is fantastic!

Crazy movie, wonderful cast. Inspiring. NRJ.

"Cool Hand Luke" is a movie that works because of its emphasis on the main character and how brilliantly he is portrayed by Paul Newman. The movie stands as a unique experience in the prison movie genre because of the themes it presents and I enjoyed watching it. There are moments that are humorous and made for entertainment value, but the movie sticks with me because of the way the story plays out and how the ending made me feel. Overall, it is a piece of classic cinema that is memorable because of Newman's portrayal of a character who is simply cool and likable the whole way through.

Intriguing performance by Paul Newman. He's so mysterious. Dark. Not foreboding, though. He fills his character with depth, and it's about the most genuine acting I've ever seen. The story seems tame for what it tells. Some of the images could be brought to life more, but I guess it was the times.

A overrated, but good film staring the great Paul Newman being a cool prisoner in a prison chain gang.

An All Time Classic and one of the most unique films I've seen. The closest I can compare this too is Five Easy Pieces (1970) but without the anticlimactic ending. Where Five Easy Pieces is about having talent and not knowing what to do with it, this is more along the lines of refusing to conform, being a born rebel, and trying to find a place in a world that can't accept you. This also looks more outward rather than F.E.P. which looks more inward. This is also better paced and never meanders. It's a slow burn that slowly reveals what its about. Every fundamental piece of this is pretty much flawless. This is definitely a challenging watch and encapsules the spirit of the late 60's and New Hollywood. Without a doubt though, Paul Newman is what sends this over the top. With very little dialogue he draws you in with his charisma, charm, and smile. George Kennedy also does incredible as well. Everyone should give this a watch. While I can't say every person will love this, it will definitely leave an impression on you and that says something.

Yeah, it's iconic Paul Newman, George Kennedy gave a great supporting performance, and we'll always have that line from Struther Martin, but after seeing this a couple of times over the years, I have to wonder about the point of it all. A young man goes into a Southern work farm for two years for destruction of public property and decides to buck the whole system? I just don't see it, but critics and audiences of the time did. Was it fair that our protagonist ends up with a bullet in the head? No. Did he bring it on himself? Unquestionably, yes.

greatest prison film by a country mile
