New on DVD & Blu-Ray : THE LINCOLN LAWYER (2011)

Synopsis: 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.

What to Expect : Lawyer thriller like the John Grisham adaptations of yesteryear. If you've missed this kind of movie, you will love this. You might also want to check out the 2007 movie "Fracture", starring Anthony Hopkins and Ryan Gosling. "The Lincoln Lawyer" is an exciting offer, featuring an excellent ensemble of actors, spearheaded by Matthew McConaughey in his first solid role in quite a while, which brings back memories of how promising he seemed as an actor back in 1996 when he played another lawyer in "A Time to Kill". Definitely worth buying, unless you absolutely hate lawyers and movies about them.
