The Lincoln Lawyer (R)
★★★☆☆
Matthew McConaughey is hotshot Los Angeles defense attorney Mick who uses his vintage Lincoln Continental as an office. He meets his match in the form of Louis (Ryan Phillippe), a Beverly Hills brat accused of trying to murder a prostitute. Phillippe is ideally cast but isn’t given enough screen time to fully flesh out his character. This is a thoroughly entertaining mystery thriller that leaves you wanting more. I wouldn’t be surprised to see it turn into a franchise.
