Lincoln Lawyer

Legal Thriller
Starring Matthew McConaughey, Ryan Phillippe, Marisa Tomei

Welcome back to real acting Matthew McConaughey! We haven't seen this part of you since A Time To Kill back in 1996. To be honest, I loved Fools Gold and How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days as much as the last girl...but his over confident, tan, shirtless character with chiseled abs can only get him so far. 

This clever film approaches the bench with a kick-ass cast. McConaughey, Phillippe and Tomei are accompanied by great actors William H. Macy, John Leguizamo and Josh Lucas. Even country music star Trace Adkins makes an appearance. 

If I could, I would take this movie to trial because it is guilty of being a great movie. I will warn you though- don't watch any previews of it before you pop it in. The twists in the plot are better to learn during trial. 

Reel Recommendation: You have the right to remain silent, anything you do to not watch this movie can and will be held against you in the court of law. You have the right to an attorney - and it should be the Lincoln Lawyer. I rest my case.
