A much better version of this movie may exist somewhere in the editing-room blender, to be excavated by cine-archeologists of the future.

The Lincoln Lawyer is a well-crafted, well-cast adaptation of Michael Connelly's best-selling novel, shot on interesting Los Angeles locations. It's a crime thriller with...

It's nice to see McConaughey getting relatively serious instead of coasting through yet another witless romcom, with or without Kate Hudson.

The film does take some predictable turns - even with its "surprise" twist - but it's a perfectly enjoyable time killer.

Audience Reviews for The Lincoln Lawyer

Sep 30, 2014The film that marked a resurgence in McConaughey's career which finally led to his Oscar this year. He is on top form here and has gone onto even better since. He's joined by a great cast (with the only slightly weak being Phillipe) and the story, although predictable, is entertaining in a kind of John Grisham type of way. Not a classic film but nice to see an actor hitting his stride again.David S Super Reviewer

Jan 12, 2013Brad Furman's obnoxious, in-your-face visual style certainly cheapens the overall product, but it's the only problem that "The Lincoln Lawyer" really has. Story-wise, it's pretty entertaining. The plotting feels half-inspired from literally every crime novel out there, but the script doesn't feel derivative or like a knock-off. Matthew McConaughey manages to hold the film together with his cool, captivating performance even when we're not entirely convinced by much else that's going on. And the best part about "The Lincoln Lawyer" is that it's one of those movies where its creators don't even care that we aren't convinced either, and in a way, that makes it all the more fun.Stephen E Super Reviewer

Dec 23, 2012What a great movie--one of the more cerebral films I've seen in recent years. Not a fan of McConaughey but he's pretty good here.Stephen S Super Reviewer

Nov 26, 2012A magnificent courtroom drama/thriller that serves with the same extremities as the hammer of justice. The Lincoln Lawyer is mostly held up by the enigmatic performance from McConaughey as well as the supporting cast. With it's courtroom splendor and gritty thrills, the film is extraordinary. 4/5Eugene B Super Reviewer
