Lincoln Lawyer - Review

I've been warning you that this would be good, and it is! If you love a thriller, a courtroom drama, films like A TIME TO KILL, then this is for you. And if you have a soft spot for Matthew McConaghy at all, then you really should go and see this.

The story is based on Mick Haller(Matthew McConaghy) a defense attorney that works out of the back of a Lincoln town car defending garden variety criminals who then takes on a high profile client(Ryan phillippe)and begins what he thinks will be a straightforward case but as it happens turns out to be a survival for his life.

It's a ripping yarn, with some twists and plot turns and a pretty cool cast. As I have said, Matthew is great in this, back to his best! No bongo drums in sight people!! Marisa Tomei, plays his estranged wife/prosecutor and is a very cool cat. (although I am often left wondering who the hell is looking after their child - if you see the film then you will know what I mean). Supporting cast also includes William H Macy, Ryan Phillippe as the spoilt brat defendant, (I don't rate him as an actor but he pulls this role off nicely), Mr blue eyes himself the gorgeous Josh lucas, and the answer to last week's little quiz Michael pare, (who in the mid 80's was in a film called EDDIE AND THE CRUISERS, that rocked my world!!)

Did you love THE FIRM? then please go and see this. And don't forget the popcorn!
