f.y.e.com 468x60: Your f.y.e.

Coming out this weekend The Lincoln Lawyer starring Matthew McConaughey as he plays a lawyer who conducts business from the backseat of his Lincoln town car for high-profile clients in Beverly Hills. As he travels between the far-flung courthouses of Los Angeles to defend clients of every kind. Bikers, con artists, drunk drivers, drug dealers — they're all on Mickey Haller's client list. For him, the law is rarely about guilt or innocence it's about negotiation and manipulation. So when a Beverly Hills playboy gets arrested for attacking a woman he picked up in a bar chooses Mickey to defend him, and Mickey has his first high-paying client in years It's a defense attorney's dream. And as all the evidence begins to stack up, Mickey comes to believe this may be the easiest case of his career. Then things change as someone close to him is murdered and Mickey discovers that his search for innocence has brought him face-to-face with evil. To escape without being burned, he must deploy every tactic, feint, and instinct in his arsenal in order to save his own life.




The Lincoln Lawyer is directed by upcoming filmmaker Brad Furman, of numerous shorts and the indie The Take previously. The screenplay was written by veteran screenwriter John Romano (Dark Angel, Intolerable Cruelty, Nights in Rodanthe) and is based on the book The Lincoln Lawyer written by ace crime novelist Michael Connelly who literally reinvented the L.A. noir novel with his realistic procedural series. This movie is being produced by Lakeshore and Lionsgate.

So no great surprise here that "The Lincoln Lawyer" turns out to be superior piece of crime storytelling with some characters clearly designed for recurring roles (in other novels and perhaps other films should this one do well) while others are designated for showy guest appearances as larger-than-life evildoers or tough-guy eccentrics. The film is only "superior" though, not great. The themes feel shopworn and devotee of crime fiction can point to the any number of antecedents for these characters.
