The Lincoln Lawyer

Plot

Mick Haller is a charismatic defense attorney who does business out of his Lincoln Continental sedan. Mick spends most of his time defending petty crooks and other bottom-feeders, so it comes as quite a surprise when he lands the case of a lifetime: defending a Beverly Hills playboy who is accused of attempted murder. However, what Mick initially thinks is an open-and-shut case with a big monetary reward develops into something more sinister.

About The Lincoln Lawyer

The Lincoln Lawyer is a 2011 American legal thriller film directed by Brad Furman and written by John Romano, based on the 2005 novel of the same title by Michael Connelly. It stars Matthew McConaughey as the titular lawyer, Mickey Haller. Ryan Phillippe, Marisa Tomei, Josh Lucas, John Leguizamo, William H. Macy, and Bryan Cranston also star. The film's story is adapted from the first of several novels featuring the character of Haller, who works in a chauffeur-driven Lincoln Town Car rather than an office. Haller is hired to defend the son of a wealthy Los Angeles businesswoman in an assault case. Details of the crime bring up uncomfortable parallels with a former case, and Haller discovers the two cases are intertwined. The Lincoln Lawyer was released on March 18, 2011 by Lionsgate. It received generally positive reviews and grossed $87.7 million at the global box office.
