The Lincoln Lawyer

Description

Brad Furman’s The Lincoln Lawyer adapts Michael Connelly’s first Mickey Haller novel into a compact legal thriller built around strategy rather than courtroom spectacle. Matthew McConaughey plays Haller, a Los Angeles defense attorney who works from the back seat of his Lincoln until a wealthy client’s case connects to an older injustice.

The film is the beginning of Mickey Haller’s screen history, with Marisa Tomei, Ryan Phillippe and William H. Macy in the supporting cast. It is separate from Netflix’s later television adaptation, which uses a different cast. No included U.S. subscription or free stream is currently confirmed; current digital listings are transactional.
