The Lincoln Lawyer starring Matthew McConaughey, Marisa Tomei & Ryan Phillippe. Based on the novel by Michael Connelly.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Mickey Haller (Matthew McConaughey<\/a>) is a good litigation attorney whose office is the back of his (Lincoln) car. He has a young daughter with Maggie (Marisa Tomei<\/a>), whose work environment is pretty conventional.<\/p>\n

Matthew\u2019s life changes when he signs on a big client – Louis Roulet (Ryan Phillippe<\/a>) who is charged with assault. He is claiming that it is all a big set up. Is it really entrapment or he is a psychopath capable of killing women as well as destroying Mickey and his family?<\/p>\n

This legal thriller is right up my alley. I am obsessed with legal thrillers, something I owe to John Grisham<\/a>. In fact while I was watching the trailer, it all felt Grishamesque and which drew me in the first place. \u00a0This one is based on Michael Connelly\u2019s book The Lincoln Lawyer<\/a>\"\".<\/p>\n

This loving family member lawyer type is exactly the role I want to see McConaughey in. God knows he played in enough romantic comedies and if he is going to stereotype himself, I\u2019d rather have him in a legal thriller. It was a John Grisham drama\/thriller that had made me a Matthew McConaughey fan in the first place. The movie was A Time to Kill<\/a>, a solid Grisham adaptation co-starring Sandra Bullock<\/a>, Samuel L. Jackson, Ashley Judd and Kevin Spacey. \u00a0I loved the movie, despite having read and loved the book so that has got to say something.<\/p>\n

It might be full of clich\u00e9s but some clich\u00e9s just work. Add the Grisham atmosphere, the cast (Marisa Tomei is one of my favorite actresses and Ryan Phillippe makes a perfectly unexpected villain with that baby face of his). <\/a><\/p>\n

Coming to theaters in March. Watch The Trailer here. <\/a><\/p>\n
