Review of The Lincoln Lawyer (2011) by Tvjerry — 20 Mar 2011

Matthew McConaughey runs a slightly sleazy law practice out of his big black car (hence the title). His swagger is broken by the latest case, which finds Ryan Phillippe accused for the brutal beating of a woman.

While everything about this film is solid, there's nothing to make it stand out from typical Hollywood fare. It's well made, by-the-numbers (a sufficiently complex situation, mild humor, a hint of suspense, good pacing), but not a standout in any way.
