When the deal of a life time comes his way, the low rent defense attorney Mickey Haller decides to grab the most out of it. Defending low life criminals who cannot afford good attorneys, Mickey usually works his cases on the backseat of his Lincoln. With a broken marriage and a cute daughter and a still friendly x wife in his life Mickey somehow keeps his head above the water when the tides are high. But when this new high price deal comes his way unexpectedly and a rich family boy and his mother is involved in it Mickey sets to sail the deep water. But soon he realizes that he is becoming a pawn in a wicked game which he cannot simply quit even though his life is at stake.
Lincoln Lawyer is a crime thriller with a twist of legal background to it. The story is fast phased and gives little details to hang in to most of the time. It has flashbacks of events which occur earlier and assumptions which is normal to crime scene story telling. Yet as the main lead is an attorney than a police investigator makes this twist a bit unique.
The plot doesn’t make a great deal of sense but it sure can hook you up for good two hours. When the story starts like a normal drama that features a twisted attorney in the middle it gradually evolves in to a thriller with quite a bit of blood and gore. Like I said before it can make you wonder throughout the plot of what’s to come next.
Good performance by the feel free Matthew McConaughey and more than good performance by Ryan Philippe. If your ‘thing’ is crime and drama then this will keep you entertained.
