The Lincoln Lawyer I1:59) 2001

My suggestion for movie goers is to promptly get in your Lincoln or any car you drive and go see The Lincoln Lawyer. Matthew McConaughey is a high priced lawyer who defends drug dealers and other criminals. He uses his Lincoln Town car as his office. Mick Haller is divorced from Maggie (Marissa Tomei), a district attorney, and has a daughter. Haller is hired by a very wealthy woman whose son is being tried for sexual assault. Mick learns that his client Louis is guilty and is also guilty of an earlier murder. The client-lawyer privilege means he has to continue to defend Louis. Mick is conflicted, one of his clients was wrongly convicted for the murder committed by Louis. The is a well acted movie, the dialogue is crisp, the plot is straight forward and moves along. My friend Judy and I really enjoyed this movie. We were commenting after the movie that is good to see McConaughey in a serious film. I find The Lincoln Lawyer guilty of being a high quality movie.
