Probably the best work he's done with his shirt on, Mathew McConaughey perfectly embodies Michael Connelley's Mick Haller, the L.A. lawyer who works out of the back seat of his Lincoln. A satisfying crime mystery thriller, "Lincoln Lawyer" introduces enough colorful characters to populate a TV series. We have John Leguizamo as the inside shill, William H. Macy as the trusted investigator, Josh Lucas as the hard-nosed prosecutor, and the wonderful Melissa Tomei as the friend/confidante/ex-wife. And this week we have Ryan Phillippe as the too-slick defendant we don't quite trust. This is a fun movie, and I'm not kidding about the TV series. It would be great.
