I just saw the Lincoln Lawyer, and while I’m no big McConaughey fan, I actually kind of like him in the role. In fact, I really enjoyed the film. I am a huge fan of Michael Connelly – love his novels, especially the Harry Bosch books. I have enjoyed the Mickey Haller books, although I have often felt them slightly forced when compared to his other books.

I think what actually sold me on the authenticity (as such, it being an over the top thriller with a bit of courtroom drama in the mix) in the film was the soundtrack. The hip hop emphasis while the lawyer is cruising around is perhaps better explained in the novel, but for me, seeing the film, it really fit with the super saturated color process and the shaky camera work. Definitely worth the time.
