A surprisingly engaging piece of work for what's a fairly clockwork legal thriller that makes no attempt to really innovate its genre in any way. It thrums along at a brisk pace, throwing out an amusing twist here and there, and McConaughey's snakeoil charm - so repulsive in the romantic comedies he usually sticks with - actually fuels his lawyer character perfectly. There's a protracted midmovie flashback that's more than a little awkward, which notches my score down a little.

A really solid and entertaining thriller - something we rarely get anymore. It doesn't reinvent or improve upon formula but the fact that it is less about the mystery and the court room intricacies and more about the lawyer, a good role for McC, works to its advantage.

McConaughey has in a 20 year movie career starred in three good films... A Time To Kill, Reign of Fire and now The Lincoln Lawyer! If he could just stay away from the Rom-Com's it would prove that he truly has more balls than a chinese ping-pong tournament. The Lincoln theme is only introduced in the beginning, the transition from 1st to 2nd act is bad and so is Phillippe, but the rest of the cast is cool and does a great job. Oh, and yes, MM also takes his shirt of in this one ;-)

"The Lincoln Lawyer" is a finely-tuned legal thriller reminiscent of several others, but we all know these movies never get old. We are easily pulled in by a gripping story and an even more engaging lead in Matthew McConaughey who reminds all of us doubters the kind of talent he possesses when he isn't wasting it in lackluster rom-coms. "Lincoln" is a classy drama that keeps audiences turning the pages until the end credits.

Kept me engaged throughout while distracted and there are few movies that do that anymore. I also rated it too highly on Letterboxd because of the positive experience and was immediately lambasted by a friend for placing it in the same hallowed category of rating that housed Dr. Strangelove. That's...tough to answer for. My ratings should be taken with a grain of salt as I do allow experience to seep into the objectivity. I'm just a guy watching movies and feeling feelings. Lame as it is.

You know what? I like Matthew McConaughey, haters be damned. He has a real knack for making scummy characters likable and makes good movies better. The Lincoln Lawyer has a good story and makes a memorable entry in the Lawyer genre, while being far less outlandish than other thrillers.

It succeeds on everything it needs to, but doesn't offer anything original to the formula. Who's complaining though? This is a great flick. It has a well written script, and a great performance by McConaughey, who isn't really known for giving great performances. He's charming and, well, was born to play this role. This translates to a thrilling courtroom drama with enough twists and turns to interest anybody.

'The Lincoln Lawyer' feels a lot like an episode of 'Law & Order' with an alcoholic Matthew McConaughey as a crooked Hang 'em High McCoy. The film has a rhythm that amps up as the case melts into the other sections of Mick Haller's life. At first, it's lawyer-drink-family-drink-repeat, but as the film progresses, it become one big mass that threatens to implode and tumble apart. That works very well until the incredibly cheesy and unnecessary twist within one of the six endings provided.

Too silly to stick with, though there are some pretty so-bad-they're-good zingers early on. For example: "He's the best farmer we got, if you know what I mean." Or this exchange: Earl: "You know what? You would've done all right on the streets." Mick Haller: "Shit. Where do you think I am, Earl?"

The film uses a fairly clever legal loophole as a key plot point - putting McConaughey in what is meant to appear be grave peril, except McConaughey never so much as flinches. You never really feel he's in danger. Every key twist and turn is delivered with zero gravitas. Could have been better.

McConaughey's own Better Caul Saul mixed with some sort of Cosmopolis sense of a-day-at-the-office. It should have way less plot twists and characters rearrangements, but it works as a well-conducted and semi-street-smart vehicle for the actor.

A defense lawyer who works from his chauffered Lincoln has a case fall into his lap that should be cut and dry, but when he thinks he has a handle on things it begins to unravel and put him and his family in danger. Filled with twists and turns and "I didn't see that coming" moments, Lincoln Lawyer is a tense movie with characters who feel real and draw empathy from the viewer. Excellent performances and plot twists make this a first class thriller.

Solid & workmanlike in all respects, with McConaughey, Macy & Tomei all providing excellent performances. The plotting often feels a little half-baked & never quite punchy or defined enough and it has to be noted that there felt like too much of McConaughey's character that was left unexplored. But there's an interesting story here nonetheless, carried well by all the actors bar the genuniely useless Phillippe. "The Lincoln Lawyer" despite its admittedly unremarkable nature comes recommended.

The Lincoln Lawyer left me with mixed feelings. The plot drifts somewhere between the unlikely and the unsurprising and the cinematography is unremarkable. Moreover, I have no idea whatsoever why the characters acted in the ways they acted, it seems their motivations just shifted randomly to serve the plot. The reason the movie stays afloat is McConaughey's performance, a lesser actor would not have been able to pull off most of his lines.

Matthew McConaughey is convincing as the sleazy defense lawyer defending a murder suspect (Ryan Phillippe). The crime unfolds and the lawyer finds himself stuck in a no win situation. After his investigator is killed and his family threatened, he has to take drastic steps to protect himself and keep his license. A good struggle between the not-so-good and a sociopath. Also, Marisa Tomei is great as the ex-wife.

McConaughey can be really good in the right role, and this is a great example. The strong points of the movie are his performance and the script itself. The direction is serviceable, but indistinct from any other similar thriller. I also wish there was more room in the script for William H. Macy, who always adds to any scene he's in.

It's all surface pleasure, but boy is this movie slick as hell. By the end it's moving around so many puzzle pieces and rather effortlessly connecting them that I didn't even care how absurd and blatantly contrived it all was. Granted, it's probably too damn slick for its own good, what with the vivid flashbacks, overstuffed character roles and glamorous legal portrayal, but it's definitely a fun ride. Props for casting Ryan Phillippe as the fucking tool I suspect he is in real life.

A courtroom drama at its finest with a twist. McConaughey brings back his lawyer-ness last used in A Time to Kill and does just as well. There are so many things I would like to say in this but I'm afraid it will add too many spoilers so... just watch this movie. It's really good. McConaughey is relentless in his pursuit for justice, Tomei did well as the ex-wife, Phillippe was an excellent defendant and Leguizamo was as sleazy as ever. Last thing, I really enjoyed the music in this film.

The Lincoln Lawyer is a film that needed to end right after its primary court case concluded. If it had, it would have been an excellent film. As it is, it's a very good one that kept me engaged for over an hour and a half -- until the point when it decided to throw in a ton of arbitrary and unnecessary twists to the plot. It has good acting, a solid story and is a great deal of fun if you're willing to pay attention and try to think with, or against, its characters.

I love McConaughey in this role. We all knew he could play a douchebag and we all knew he could play an attourney, but to combine them into a slick douchebag lawyer with a relaxed adherence to the law is movie gold. This movie isn't preachy or holier than thou. It's just a good thriller where the protaganist learns absolutely nothing in the course of the movie. In the words of Niles Crane of Frasier "Lawyers make excellent patients. They have excellent health care and they never get better."

Matthew Mconaughey, or MCON for short, stars as a charismatic lawyer who has everything going for him. That is until the plot of this film hits him in his pretty face and things start to fall apart around him. MCON goes through the motions and deals with a few twists and turns before reaching the final conclusion. It all is very standard fare to be honest and the performances are unremarkable. Not that it's a bad courtroom thriller, on the contrary but it's definitely not genre defining either.

This is a very interesting film. Well cast and acted, Matthew McConaughey gives a wonderful performance as a lawyer with a weird sense of loyalty to the law while working out of his Lincoln. This is probably my favorite crime/lawyer drama made next to the Rainmaker. On the down side, the movie takes some time getting started, but when it gets going it takes off with more twists and turns that keeps you guessing up to the very end. Wish McConaughey would continue movies like these.

I severely dislike Matthew McConaughey and every time I see William H. Macy's face, I think "Fargo" or "Marmaduke". Which are everything this isn't: Fun and cool - or abysmal. I liked the driver, I always like Marisa Tomei and yes, I liked the plot-twists (no wait, some of them). I don't know. Dull Hollywood strikes again! (actually it's not all conventional Hollywood, but hey I'll let the words ring out)

I absolutely hate Mc Conaughey in romantical films or comedies, but here.. Pretty decent flick, in my opinion. Inventive story, partly inspired on other lawsuit films, but neverthless well done. Loved the cast, performances and camerawork! Absolutely loved Earl, the layed back driver!

It started off like a long episode of CSI or Law & Order, but it ended up being really interesting and broke out from that formula a bit. A solid court-room drama. I usually don't like Mathew McConaughey, but he was decent in this. He really reminds me of Bradley Cooper.

Basarili bir suc filmi, basindan sonuna kendisini izlettiriyor. Kurgusu ve oyunculuklari gayet basarili.

Nothing special, but it tells an interesting but complicated story efficiently and clearly. McConaughey is the perfect combination of charm and sleaze, and Tomei and Macy are fine as always.

Nice performance from McConaughey, the story is quite gripping aswell. Shame about the soundtrack, but it seems nowadays you can't really convey a street feeling without dem raps yo. All in all, quite entertaining.

An interesting plot is essentially ruined by bad acting and shallow characters. McConoughey is as awful in this movie as his name is difficult for me to spell.

A fine effort brings the legal thriller back into the fray.

Entertaining and involving legal drama feels like a throwback to the star-driven Grisham adaptations of the 90s. Former Grisham film alumni McConaughey is excellent in the lead and a strong supporting cast (notably creepy Phillippe and amusingly shaggy Macy) holds your attention, even if the plotting is sometimes superficial, and the climax seems rushed and unconvincing. Fine entertainment.
