Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

....That my girlfriend threw her glass of wine straight into her own eyes!

Great crime drama with an excellent Matthew McConaughey portraying a suave lawyer who works out of his car and demands great fees to get the desired results for the defendants.Marisa Tomei's role as his wife is greatly under-stated here. Her part needed to a lot more developed. William H. Macy appears as Matt's investigator, but he soon takes a bullet ending his role in the film.What made the film so good were the many twists and plenty of irony here. While defending a client, Matt discovers his guilt in another crime and the guy comes from a rich family with mother Frances Fisher providing plenty of surprises by film's end.Ethics is a great subject and plot in this very interesting film.

The Lincoln Lawyer is a good movie with a reasonably well developed storyline and a great cast. It won't keep you at the edge of your seat, but what Lincoln Lawyer lacks it mostly makes up for with Matthew McConaughey, who delivers a terrific performance as Mick Haller, his character has many different mood swings throughout the film, and he does all of these parts very well, there are also impressive performances from the likes of William H. Macy, Marisa Tomei and the great Bryan Cranston. It calls itself a thriller but I really wouldn't consider it that, it's a crime drama, referring to this film as a thrilling is making us expect a lot of very intense scenes and some twists and turns throughout, none of that is seen here, it's a very bland story. No scene comes unexpectedly or suddenly, there is always build up to it and you always know, in a way, what is going to happen next, it's very predictable, there is nothing about the story that stands out and makes it unique from any other crime film. It may be the most innocent film to be considered a thriller, but the Lincoln Lawyer is still an enjoyable film mostly because of a very dedicated performance from McConaughey, and I would recommend it as a good drama to watch if you ever see it on television or Netflix and have some time to kill. A lawyer believes he has made a huge mistake after he moves from representing lowlifes to defending an LA rich kid. Best Performance: Matthew McConaughey Worst Performance: John Leguizamo

McConaughey is surprisingly good in this court drama as the amoral but capable defense lawyer Mickey Haller. Haller accepts to represent the case of a rich young man accused of mauling to death a young woman after allegedly trying to rape her. Haller makes a good effort to help his client, however, he soon realizes that some decisions in life always come at a cost.Haller is a good defense attorney and takes his cases not because he believes in his clients innocence necessarily. Instead, he claims that everybody in our society is entitled to a legal representation and of course he is up to the job provided the payment is there for his services. He appears as a cynical person but he abides by the law.This is a good film and especially viewers who like court dramas will not be disappointed. The movie becomes a bit formulaic in the second half but still it leaves a very good impression.
