Reviews
'While it sticks to the courtroom thriller formula, this is an entertaining ride thanks to a terrific screenplay and Matthew McConaughey's magnetic lead performance.'
- FilmInk
'The Lincoln Lawyer is a tasty thriller with a few twists in its tail... Some fussy directorial touches don't seriously get in the way of a tricky plot with a suspenseful denouement and there's an excellent use of locations in the Los Angeles area.'
- At the Movies with Margaret & David
'There's a lot of story here and it comes with a lot of twists and turns but even if you get lost as to who told who about what it works so smoothly that the mystery never becomes too mysterious. Add in a rock-solid supporting cast – seeing McConaughey face off in court against fellow pretty-boy Josh Lucas is a rare pleasure, while Marisa Tomei as Mick's ex-wife / friend with benefits shows she continues to get better with age – and you've got about as good a case as Hollywood can put together for a stay of execution for the big-screen legal drama.'
- thevine.com.au (four stars)
'It's just such a pleasure to watch a group of smart, attractive people using their brains and not bullets to solve problems. ... And McConaughey reminds us that he is capable of using the muscle between his ears, mixing up Southern charm with smarts as he bends the legal system to make sure right is upheld and evil punished.'
- The West Australian
'The Lincoln Lawyer is a don't-miss cinematic page-turner with enough twists to fill five movies. Matthew McConaughey gives the performance of his career as a slick criminal defense attorney who finds himself in a moral quandary ...Fans of the actor and crime novelist Michael Connelly should flock to theaters for this gripping whodunit and adult audiences looking for crackerjack entertainment will likely spread great word of mouth, making this a box office winner'
- Pete Hammond, Box Office Magazine
'The Lincoln Lawyer onscreen is a slam-bang twister of a legal thriller, full of whiplash energy... a dynamite Matthew McConaughey gives his best performance in years... This is rock solid entertainment.'
- Peter Travers, Rolling Stone magazine
