Smooth operator Mickey Haller (Matthew McConaughey) zips around Los Angeles in his chauffeured Lincoln town car, cutting deals and finding clients on the road. Then he lands a doozy: a rich real-estate heir (Ryan Phillippe) accused of the brutal assault of an escort. At first, the case looks like a breeze, but odd details start nagging at Haller until he recognizes an ugly connection to an earlier case--and realizes he's been set up in the strangest way. There are some deep implausibilities in The Lincoln Lawyer , but they hardly matter. This is a movie that cruises on charm and smart casting, from McConaughey as a man whose glib polish is betrayed by a streak of doubt, down to the detectives (solid performances from Bryan Cranston, Michael Paré, Michaela Conlin, and others) and lowlifes (Katherine Moennig as an unlucky hooker, Shea Whigham as a lazy snitch) that flesh out the legal world. Every character pops out, clean and distinct; this sort of web-of-deceit story line, full of twists and turns, depends on the audience clearly connecting all the players. Some moments get overstated or maybe don't make complete sense, but the zippy pace carries the audience over those bumps. The Lincoln Lawyer could easily turn into a television series, a sort of Rockford Files -esque mixture of procedure and puzzle making. Also starring Marisa Tomei, William H. Macy, Frances Fisher, John Leguizamo, and Josh Lucas as the prosecuting attorney who gives McConaughey some competition in the chiseled-looks department. --Bret Fetzer 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.

Good Courtroom Entertainment
My banner is misleading: only about half of this movie is staged in the courtroom. On other hand, only half of all the "Perry Mason"s were staged in courtrooms and, in both cases, that's where most of the sparks fly. Without giving away anything, it's fair to say that "The Lincoln Lawyer"—Nick Haller, whose Lincoln Continental backseat is his office—is a movie about reversals. After the first you know that another will be coming. Then another, and still another. I couldn't anticipate most of them, though I knew they were headed my way. The plot is quasi-predictable yet still entertaining. Like most courtroom dramas, this one is about all the boxes of America's judicial system in which real justice keeps trying to break free. Though one 360-degree shot is neat, for the most part Brad Furman's direction is pedestrian. Apart from some nifty flashbacks Jeff McEvoy's editing is nothing to write home about. In a word, the production values are no better than a typical '90s TV show. What elevates this movie are the performances, which are solid, straight down the line. As Haller, Matthew McConaughey works out of the old Bob Mitchum/James Garner playbook, nicely balancing the wise-ass who can fall on his ass yet still stand up straight. As his ex-wife Maggie, Marisa Tomei again demonstrates what a terrific actor she is: given a nothing part, she polishes it to a high shiny gloss. I could run down the whole list of actors; there's not a bad performance in the bunch. All told, "The Lincoln Lawyer" isn't the freshest tomato from the vine, but it's flavorful and goes down very well.
