關於這部電影

In the gripping thriller "The Lincoln Lawyer," Matthew McConaughey stars as Michael "Mick" Haller, a slick, charismatic Los Angeles criminal defense attorney who operates out of the back of his Lincoln Continental sedan. Having spent most of his career defending petty, gutter- variety criminals, Mick unexpectedly lands the case of a lifetime: defending a rich Beverly Hills playboy (Ryan Phillippe) who is accused of attempted murder. However, what initially appears to be a straightforward case with a big money pay-off swiftly develops into a deadly match between two masters of manipulation and a crisis of conscience for Haller.

When I watch movies these days, I expect same old same old.Seems writers have run so far out of fresh ideas they "recycle" them over again & again.All they do is "re-package" & "re-sell" in a feeble attempt to camouflage their lack of creativity.I usually stop movies midway (if I make it that far) & return it.But this one was riveting and exciting! The lawyer was a smooth operator not a lying sleeze ball.The charactors were believable.The chemistry worked like a well oiled tool. Highly recommend it!

I've wanted to see this movie when I first saw the previews 4 years ago, but I figured I'll wait till it comes on DVD, that didn't happen so than TV than I forgot about it, but lately it has been on my mind and Netflix didn't have it so I rented it from here and was beyond delighted, it'll have you guessing what happening next and why is he doing this or thast, but it all comes together eventually and you'll be very intrigued and pleased. Matthew M plays a good roe as well as the antagonist.

Matthew McConaughey has something going as an actor I haven't seen in anyone else. It's got to do with the bad good guy and the good bad guy. Whatever it is, any picture is terrific, if he's starring in it. This was good. He made it great.
