The Lincoln Lawyer
Mick Heller is an adroit lawyer in Los Angeles who appears to be meddling in a case that is the biggest in his career. Mick intervenes to defend a man who is a fugitive and has been charged in a case involving a prostitute. The man asks Mick to defend him for a large sum of money. In that case, the man claimed that the woman had tried to get some money from him but he refused. In the end, Mick Heller realizes that all of the evidence against the man may reveal other things that are not expected and that the case carries motives and aspects beyond that.

Just when you thought Matthew McConaughey had settled into pre-retirement content to play the (dry-aged) beefcake in a string of dippy romantic comedies, the actor comes roaring back with some real acting.

A fast-paced intelligent legal thriller.

That the premise of the film doesn't make a ton of sense shouldn't dissuade you if you're in the mood for a little escape.

It has nothing to do with the capital of Nebraska or the former president. While you're watching it, though, you'll wish it did.

The Lincoln Lawyer has one of the best ensembles of the year. We get a great performance by Matthew McConaughey and a truly exciting story.

There's a reason potboiler paperbacks don't make good movies -- there's too much outlandish plot, even for Hollywood.

The Lincoln Lawyer is not a feat of genre-breaking design. But it is a well-oiled machine.

It's really just a solid courtroom drama, but these days moviegoers should take what they can get.
