Advantages: Paul Newman at his best

Disadvantages: The scene involving Luke's mother could have been better done

Cool Hand Luke is one of Paul Newman's best films in which we see him playing the role of a prisoner on a chain gang.
The film plays on the idea of indiviuality, we see Luke bucking the system and performing spectacular feats every inch of the film whilst his inmates worship him and live through his actions rather than his own.
Ther is a strong supporting cast and a number of lines and scenes which have become deeply imbedded in Hollywood's history, such as the famous egg eating sequence in which Luke is challenged to eat 50 hard boiled eggs in an hour. This film is a must see for all budding film buffs and all fans of Newman.
