The Lincoln Lawyer

“This case is a dangerous game of life and death.”

The case should be simple: Louis Roulet (Ryan Phillippe), a Beverly Hills playboy, is accused of attempted murder, and he can pay. Mickey Haller (Matthew McConaughey) runs his practice from the back of a Lincoln Continental, and he takes the job expecting an easy fee. Brad Furman follows the facts as they stop adding up, and what Mickey owes a paying client starts to collide with what he owes the truth.
