Synopsis

Mickey Haller (Matthew McConaughey) is a Los Angeles criminal defense attorney who operates out of the back of his Lincoln sedan. Haller has spent most of his career defending garden-variety criminals, until he lands the case of his career: defending Louis Roulet (Ryan Phillippe), a Beverly Hills playboy accused of rape and attempted murder.

Lincoln Lawyer Was A Hit Thanks To Groupon, And It Won't Be The Last

Lincoln Lawyer Was A Hit Thanks To Groupon, And It Won't Be The Last

It's easy to obsess over the box office rankings and think that the Groupon deal is inspiring a kind of fraud. But I think it's far more interesting to realize that the same service enticing people with coupons to restaurants they might not visit otherwise could re-ignite interest in moviegoing...

Weekend Box Office - Limitless Tops Weekend of Limited Excitement

Weekend Box Office - Limitless Tops Weekend of Limited Excitement

Despite the arrival of the first day of spring, things weren't exactly coming up roses for the box office this weekend. Three new arrivals made mediocre entrances as overall sales continue to slip. Limitless snagged the number one spot with $19 million. That's not terrible news for the movie itself since it's on track to turn a quick profit against a $27 million budget. It is, however, bad news for the box office in general. ...

8 Biggest Differences Between The Lincoln Lawyer Book And Movie

8 Biggest Differences Between The Lincoln Lawyer Book And Movie

Brad Furman’s answer to Michael Connelly’s 500-page The Lincoln Lawyer is to turn the monstrous text into an on-edge, fast-paced, and intense ride. While screenwriter John Romano created a script that is sometimes a little bumpier than we’d like it to be, it’s still riveting and doesn’t disappoint....

Interview: The Lincoln Lawyer's Michael Pena

Each and every one of us have been in a situation where we’ve been blamed for something we didn’t do. All it takes is to find yourself in the wrong place at the wrong time and all of a sudden you have blood on your hands. For most of us when this happens it’s inconsequential. In the case of Michael Pena’s character in The Lincoln Lawyer, he ends up serving a life sentence....

Interview: The Lincoln Lawyer's Trace Adkins

Interview: The Lincoln Lawyer's Trace Adkins

Whether you know him from his music or his acting, one thing that you may have noticed about Trace Adkins is that he is a big guy. With a deep, booming voice reminiscent of Sam Elliot and standing at 6’6”, he’s a guy that can intimidate just by entering a room. Naturally this made him a perfect fit for Eddie, the motorcycle gang leader in Brad Furman’s The Lincoln Lawyer....

Interview: The Lincoln Lawyer's Ryan Phillippe

Talk to most actors and they’ll tell you that it’s always more fun to play the villain. Thanks to societal rules, most of us have the decency to act civil towards one another, but there’s something freeing about letting your id loose and take control. It’s something that Ryan Phillippe most certainly got to do in his most recent film, Brad Furman’s The Lincoln Lawyer....
