The Lincoln Lawyer

Matthew McConaughey has left romantic comedies in the dust (for now) and is using his gift of the sly sleazy smile in The Lincoln Lawyer. He plays a shady defense attorney. His clients include rapists, Hell's Angels, etc. But he's also a loyal family man, even though he's not married to his daughter's mother. She's a prosecutor (who implies the reason they aren't together is they are on opposite sides of the law).

The movie itself is a slow burn part courtroom drama, part thriller. It isn't flashy and you're given just enough clues to figure out the crime as Mick (McConaughey) does. There is also a great supporting cast. I was left guessing at every turn. Not an easy thing to accomplish due to my cynical nature. I don't want to get into spoilers, but if you're looking for an adult film to see in theaters, it's this movie, Win Win, or Source Code. Good luck.
