Title: The Lincoln Lawyer (2011)
Tagline: This Case is a Dangerous Game of Life and Death
Genre: Crime, Drama, Thriller
Director: Brad Furman
Release: 2011-03-17
Runtime: 119
Plot: A lawyer conducts business from the back of his Lincoln town car while representing a high-profile client in Beverly Hills.Saw this today. Really liked it. Not a big fan of Matthew McConaughey, but he's effective in these types of roles. The trailers give away a pretty big piece of info but still maintains an edgy, suspenseful nature. Ryan Phillippe was also excellent and truthfully deserved more screen time. I was reminded of the excellent and underrated "Fracture" film. Different films no doubt but showcases personal and professional attorney issues.
To nitpick I thought the film was a bit too quick with who's the bad guy but I understand why. We need that info to see the conflict Matthew M (Mick Haller) has & how he juggles it all.
William H. Macy always great and has a small role. As does the hot Marisa Tomei.
Well done & worth your time and money. Would like to see it again.
Solid 8.5/10.
