Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

SPOILER ALERT Maybe my legal sense is poor but why can't Haller drop Roulet as a client after he visits Martinez in San Quentin and realises he's been set up? I staggered through until the demise of William Macy's character and then had no real reason to watch this one out. Plot too forced and ultimately unconvincing. (viewed 11/16)

"Mick Haller is a defense lawyer who works out of his Lincoln. When a wealthy Realtor is accused of assaulting a prostitute, Haller is asked to defend him. The man claims that the woman is trying to get some money out of him. But when Haller looks at the evidence against him, he learns that this case might be linked to an old case of his." This movie absolutely butchers the music that has been chosen! None of the tracks gets the attention or time that they deserve, and because of that, they do not at all support the picture. The plot, the scenes and the quality of the actors is all really OK, but the misuse of music destroys my experience. It is hard to understand why a movie with this kind of budget, can't get the use of the soundtrack right!

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
