The Lincoln Lawyer Watch Online
A film adaptation of a Michael Connelly book of the same name. The Lincoln Lawyer is about an L.A. defense attorney, Mickey Haller (Matthew McConaughey) working on the back of his Lincoln Sedan. There's not much mystery to the plot itself since it is too predictable and you will probably realize it nearly halfway through. The twists in the film will only take you so far but you will still end up unraveling the mystery faster than the film progresses. For a film with a powerful cast, aside from the acting, this film will fail to captivate its audience and would probably fall short of their expectations. Though it is still a relief seeing McConaughey take on a serious role for a change.
