The Lincoln Lawyer

This movie redeemed Matthew McConaughey for an actor that can show more than one emotion.  He still has his smooth talk, but he also comes up with fear, remorse, bad ass and serious lawyer. Then you add the star power that the movie has with Marisa Tomei & William H. Macy just to name a few and you have a great movie!

Matthew plays a lawyer that rolls around Los Angeles in a Lincoln Town car that seconds as his office, driven by his trusty chauffeur.  His side kick Macy does some of the dirty work for him and plays a big role in the movie, not just some little dial it in piece.  We see plenty of Marisa Tomei's character and I'm not just talking about the sex scene.  Matthew has the gamut of clientele everyone from the prostitute & motorcycle gangster to the pretty rich boy that really leaves you on the edge of your seat.

This was based off of a book of the same name by the famous drama author Michael Connelly.  You didn't hear much about this movie but it certainly deserved the $10 ticket.
