The Lincoln Lawyer Audience Reviews

Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Suman Roberson It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
davyd-02237 Quite a different type of film, pretty obvious what the plot really is within minutes of the film actually starting. Villain is obvious. The only refreshing bit is within the last few minutes, this I found quite different, but it does come "upon you" pretty quick. This kind of language and the way the U S judicial system appears to work (if this film is anything to go by) make this an "Only once" film and its off to the charity shop.
santiagocosme I remember that there was a time, not that long ago, when I really could not stand any movie that featured Matthew M. However, slowly and steadily, the guy started picking or getting better roles and started to gain some good movies under his belt. Even his acting skills that seemed total rubbish in movies such as reign of Fire seemed to improve massively over the course of the years. Now, you could even say that if Matthew M. is acting, the movie must be at least decent. And that's exactly what The Lincoln Lawyer is. A pretty good movie that I enjoyed to watch and would even watch a second time when my fish memory has erased the contents of it from my brain. More Matthew M., more good m.
FilmBuff1994 The Lincoln Lawyer is a good movie with a reasonably well developed storyline and a great cast. It won't keep you at the edge of your seat, but what Lincoln Lawyer lacks it mostly makes up for with Matthew McConaughey, who delivers a terrific performance as Mick Haller, his character has many different mood swings throughout the film, and he does all of these parts very well, there are also impressive performances from the likes of William H. Macy, Marisa Tomei and the great Bryan Cranston. It calls itself a thriller but I really wouldn't consider it that, it's a crime drama, referring to this film as a thrilling is making us expect a lot of very intense scenes and some twists and turns throughout, none of that is seen here, it's a very bland story. No scene comes unexpectedly or suddenly, there is always build up to it and you always know, in a way, what is going to happen next, it's very predictable, there is nothing about the story that stands out and makes it unique from any other crime film. It may be the most innocent film to be considered a thriller, but the Lincoln Lawyer is still an enjoyable film mostly because of a very dedicated performance from McConaughey, and I would recommend it as a good drama to watch if you ever see it on television or Netflix and have some time to kill. A lawyer believes he has made a huge mistake after he moves from representing lowlifes to defending an LA rich kid. Best Performance: Matthew McConaughey Worst Performance: John Leguizamo
dantonstl what did I like about this movie. Ryan phillipe. he was a silent scary dude. I know that I have reviewed this title before, and it was probably on Yahoo...and now that yahoo has become non existent hwere I am adding a review again. WHY. because I think this movie is worth watching. I haven't seen jack ryan shadow recruit, but want to. The reviews are not great regarding that kevin Costner and Chris pine film, but I have to tell you, This wouldn't be a good review if it weren't for the scary presence of Ryan phillipe. I never write enough lines, and that's one of the worst cases with this website when it comes to posting news and opinions regarding films.
