Matthew McConaughey is no stranger to playing a lawyer on the big screen (A Time To Kill, 1996) but in THE LINCOLN LAWYER, Matthew McConaughey is a bad boy criminal defense attorney who finally gets in over his head with one dangerous client (Ryan Phillipe).
In this clip from THE LINCOLN LAWYER, Matthew's character Mick goes head to head with his client Ryan Phillippe who isn't afraid to lay down the law with his defense attorney.
In the gripping thriller THE LINCOLN LAWYER, Matthew McConaughey stars as Michael “Mick” Haller, a slick, charismatic Los Angeles criminal defense attorney who operates out of the back of his Lincoln Continental sedan. Having spent most of his career defending petty, gutter-variety criminals, Mick unexpectedly lands the case of a lifetime: defending a rich Beverly Hills playboy (Ryan Phillippe) who is accused of attempted murder. However, what initially appears to be a straightforward case with a big money pay-off swiftly develops into a deadly match between two masters of manipulation and a crisis of conscience for Haller.
Directed by Brad Furman from a screenplay by John Romano, based on the novel by Michael Connelly, the cast also includes Marisa Tomei, Josh Lucas, John Leguizamo, Frances Fisher, Bob Gunton, Laurence Mason, with Bryan Cranston and William H. Macy. Lionsgate and Lakeshore Entertainment present a Lakeshore Entertainment Lionsgate production in association with Sidney Kimmel Entertainment Stone Village Pictures.
