The Lincoln Lawyer

Back to the movies, this is an adaption of the bestseller by Michael Connelly starring current hot property Matthew McConaughey. Defence Lawyer Mickey Haller (McConaughey), used to dealing with orinary criminals, is suddenly hired to defend Beverly Hills playboy and heir Louis Roulet (Ryan Phillippe).


A very good plot and good script, combined with McConaughey's southern style makes this a superior film and an excellent Friday night pizza movie. McConaughey is excellent, as is the supporting cast, although they are somewhat underused, especially William H. Macy and Bryan Cranston, although it's good to see John Leguizamo and Michael Peña in something, as well as Marisa Tomei as Haller's ex-wife. Recommended.
