(MOVIE REVIEW) The Lincoln Lawyer

I make it a point to hate everything that Matthew McConaughey is in. He, since the 90's, has been a stain on the film industry. Sure, he has been in some films that actually make money. That is not in question. The problem is that he is always in these really one dimensional movies and always plays one note characters. I hate that for him because the fact of the matter is that the guy can actually act (in very specific situations). This movie is one of the best that I have seen him in. It's not perfect, but way better than his many past sins.

Plot: A sleazy defense attorney has a crisis of conscience when he represents a wealthy client who has a foolproof plan to beat the system. - from IMDB

Thoughts? This movie is the best that McConaughey has put out since A Time To Kill. He is very relatable as a man with his back against the wall that must get himself out of a sticky situation. He shows that he really does have the chops to play a more serious role if Hollywood would give him more chances to do that. Good movie with a good cast. Watch it.
