Sometimes nothing is a really cool hand.

I caught this movie a few days ago. And I wasn't all that impressed with the dialogue but this was a good line.

CHL is a decent film though, I'll give it a solid 6/10. It was probably more appealing to a '60s audience. The most intriguing character is Luke while the others are just not real interesting. Oh well, it's a pretty good Newman movie.

The line is used again as they are Cool Hand Luke's last words before he get's shot in the Church. I'd always thought that quote was from Major Payne with Damon Wayans. I didn't realized until yesterday when I watched Cool Hand Luke that was where it originated.

In case some of you lived under a rock in 1995 or were not born yet. Here is the Damon Wayans version of the line from Major Payne. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAhwIu56aHE

Cool Hand Luke was a good watch but too repetitive and dull in spots. I'd give it a 6-7 out of 10.
