class="post-58202 review type-review status-publish has-post-thumbnail hentry category-reviews"> <div class="entry-content text-lg sm:text-xl leading-7 sm:leading-8 mb-7 sm:mb-9"> <p>I like movies about smart guys who are wise asses, and think their way out of tangles with criminals. I like courtroom scenes. I like big old cars. I like "The Lincoln Lawyer" because it involves all three, and because it matches <a href="/cast-and-crew/matthew-mcconaughey">Matthew <a href="/cast-and-crew/mcconaughey">McConaughey</a></a> with a first-rate supporting cast, while so many thrillers these days are about a lone hero surrounded by special effects. People have words they actually say in this movie. After "<a href="/reviews/battle-los-angeles-2011">Battle: Los Angeles</a>," that is a great relief.</p><div class="roger-review-inline-1" style="float: left; " id="roger-502965563"><div class="AdvallyTag" id="AdvAd-ReviewFloat-Left"></div></div> <p>Let's start with the big old car. It's a Lincoln, and a lawyer named Mick Haller (McConaughey) does most of his work out of the back seat. Apparently he drove it himself until he was socked with a DUI; given how much he drinks in the film, it's amazing he remembered where he parked it. Now he has a chauffeur (<a href="/cast-and-crew/laurence-mason">Laurence Mason</a>) who ferries him around to the Los Angeles dealers, hookers, bagmen and low-lifes who are his clientele. Mick's specialty is getting people off, sometimes in a perfectly legal way.</p><div class="roger-review-inline-video" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center; " id="roger-1069419857"><div id="ReviewInlineVideo" style="max-width: 600px; justify-content: center; display: flex; margin: 0px auto;"></div></div> <p>There were decades in the movies when heroes drove new cars, unless it was a period picture. Car makers used to pay for product placement. We saw Mustangs, GTOs, Chargers. But in recent years, action and thriller heroes have driven mostly classic cars, or oddballs like Hummers. The reason for this is obvious: Modern cars all look mostly the same, and none of them look heroic. Can you imagine James Bond in a Camry? My Ford Fusion gets good mileage, but Mick Haller would just look silly doing business out of the back seat. The only new cars still popular in movies are big black SUVs with tinted windows, which usually prowl in packs.</p><div class="roger-review-inline-3" style="float: right; " id="roger-1893974323"><div class="AdvallyTag" id="AdvAd-ReviewFloat-Right"></div></div> <p>Anyway, Haller is a street-wise defense attorney with connections who knows how to collect and invest prudent envelopes full of cash. So connected is this guy that a motorcycle gang materializes more or less when he needs one. One day a bondsman (<a href="/cast-and-crew/john-leguizamo">John Leguizamo</a>) comes to him with a higher-class client than usual. Louis Roulet (<a href="/cast-and-crew/ryan-phillippe">Ryan Phillippe</a>) is a rich kid from Beverly Hills accused of beating up a woman. He's clean-cut, looks Mick in the eyes, seriously insists he is innocent and wants a trial to prove it.</p> <p>Mick senses there is something fishy. So do I. If Roulet has unlimited funds and really is innocent, why is he hiring a guy who works out of the back seat of a car? I've seen a lot of crime movies and read my <a href="/cast-and-crew/raymond-chandler">Raymond Chandler</a> and Ross Macdonald. I know, even if Mick doesn't, that he's being used in some way.</p><div class="roger-review-inline-2" id="roger-1118702467"><div class="AdvallyTag AdvAd-ReviewInline" data-nameprefix="AdvAd-ReviewInline"></div></div> <p>Let's not get into the details. Details are interchangeable in movies like this. What you want is a laconic wise guy in the lead, and McConaughey does a nice line in those. You need a good dame in the picture. <a href="/cast-and-crew/marisa-tomei">Marisa Tomei</a> plays his ex-wife, courtroom opponent and (still) friend. When Tomei walks into a movie, it's like the Queen came into the room. I want to stand up. I know why Lady Gaga wants Marisa to play her in a biopic. It's not because they look like sisters. It's because every woman, and many men, would love to have a smile like Marisa Tomei's.</p> <p>We also meet Mick's opposing attorney (<a href="/cast-and-crew/josh-lucas">Josh Lucas</a>); a former client he plea-bargained into prison (<a href="/cast-and-crew/michael-pena">Michael Pena</a>); a cop (<a href="/cast-and-crew/bryan-cranston">Bryan Cranston</a>) who considers him a shyster and, most valuable, Mick's private investigator (<a href="/cast-and-crew/william-h-macy">William H. Macy</a>). The P.I. role isn't very big, but Macy makes it distinctive; he brings it a quirky familiarity that creates a history between the two men without a lot of setup. You care for the hard-working sap.</p> <p>All of this comes together in a satisfactory way. It isn't brilliant, it's far from foolproof, and the second appearance of the motorcycle gang technically qualifies, I think, as a miracle. The Law of Seemingly Unnecessary Characters comes nicely into play as events from the present turn out to be connected to the past. I did feel undercut by the movie's final revelation — which is, let's face it, completely arbitrary. The plotting seems like half-realized stabs in various directions made familiar by other crime stories. But for what it is, "The Lincoln Lawyer" is workmanlike, engagingly acted and entertaining.</p><div class="roger-review-inline-4" id="roger-1211593735"><div class="AdvallyTag AdvAd-ReviewInline" data-nameprefix="AdvAd-ReviewInline"></div></div> <div class="swp-content-locator"></div> </div> </article> <div class="swp_social_panel swp_horizontal_panel swp_flat_fresh swp_default_full_color swp_individual_full_color swp_other_full_color scale-100 scale-" data-min-width="1100" data-float-color="#ffffff" data-float="none" data-float-mobile="none" data-transition="slide" data-post-id="58202" ><div class="nc_tweetContainer swp_share_button swp_twitter" data-network="twitter"><a class="nc_tweet swp_share_link" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=His+chauffeur+chases+ambulances&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rogerebert.com%2Freviews%2Fthe-lincoln-lawyer-2011" data-link="https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=His+chauffeur+chases+ambulances&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rogerebert.com%2Freviews%2Fthe-lincoln-lawyer-2011"><span class="swp_count swp_hide"><span class="iconFiller"><span class="spaceManWilly"><i class="sw swp_twitter_icon"></i><span class="swp_share">Tweet</span></span></span></span></a></div><div class="nc_tweetContainer swp_share_button swp_facebook" data-network="facebook"><a class="nc_tweet swp_share_link" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rogerebert.com%2Freviews%2Fthe-lincoln-lawyer-2011" data-link="https://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rogerebert.com%2Freviews%2Fthe-lincoln-lawyer-2011"><span class="swp_count swp_hide"><span class="iconFiller"><span class="spaceManWilly"><i class="sw swp_facebook_icon"></i><span class="swp_share">Share</span></span></span></span></a></div><div class="nc_tweetContainer swp_share_button swp_linkedin" data-network="linkedin"><a class="nc_tweet swp_share_link" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.linkedin.com/cws/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rogerebert.com%2Freviews%2Fthe-lincoln-lawyer-2011" data-link="https://www.linkedin.com/cws/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rogerebert.com%2Freviews%2Fthe-lincoln-lawyer-2011"><span class="swp_count swp_hide"><span class="iconFiller"><span class="spaceManWilly"><i class="sw swp_linkedin_icon"></i><span class="swp_share">Share</span></span></span></span></a></div><div class="nc_tweetContainer swp_share_button swp_pinterest" data-network="pinterest"><a rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="nc_tweet swp_share_link noPop" href="https://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rogerebert.com%2Freviews%2Fthe-lincoln-lawyer-2011" onClick="event.preventDefault(); var e=document.createElement('script'); e.setAttribute('type','text/javascript'); e.setAttribute('charset','UTF-8'); e.setAttribute('src','//assets.pinterest.com/js/pinmarklet.js?r='+Math.random()*99999999); document.body.appendChild(e); " ><span class="swp_count swp_hide"><span class="iconFiller"><span class="spaceManWilly"><i class="sw swp_pinterest_icon"></i><span class="swp_share">Pin</span></span></span></span></a></div><div class="nc_tweetContainer swp_share_button total_shares total_sharesalt" ><span class="swp_count ">0 <span class="swp_label">Shares</span></span></div></div> <div class="p-6 sm:p-8 bg-primary-light my-10 sm:my-12 flex flex-col sm:flex-row items-start justify-start sm:items-center gap-4 sm:gap-6" id="author-bio"> <div class="rounded-full author-avatar w-[72px] h-[72px] overflow-hidden"> <img width="1200" height="500" src="https://www.rogerebert.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Roger-Ebert-1.jpg" class="attachment-medium size-medium" alt="" decoding="async" srcset="https://www.rogerebert.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Roger-Ebert-1.jpg 1200w, https://www.rogerebert.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Roger-Ebert-1-768x320.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /> </div> <div class="text-lg flex-1"> <h5 class="font-heading-serif text-2xl mb-1"><a href="https://www.rogerebert.com/contributors/roger-ebert">Roger Ebert</a></h5> <p>Roger Ebert was the film critic of the Chicago Sun-Times from 1967 until his death in 2013.
