The Lincoln Lawyer

R (2011)
Some violence, sexual content and language

Defense lawyer Mick Haller thinks he has it made when he is asked to represent a the heir to a real estate company. His client claims he is being framed by a woman who is only trying to get rich off of the civil suit that will surely follow this trial. But the further he gets into the case, the more things just don't add up to Haller.

4.5 out of 5

Twists and turns, ups and downs. Just when you think you know which way this movie is going, it isn't. While it isn't the most surprising movie ever (not by a long shot) there were still a couple of things I just didn't quite see coming. Matthew McConaughey was great in a role that felt real, and it was good to see him in more serious role after the string of romantic comedies and comedies he had done just before this movie (don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of most of the aforementioned movies).
