The Lincoln Lawyer
Directed by Brad Furman
Mick Haller is a charismatic defense attorney who does business out of his Lincoln Continental sedan. Mick spends most of his time defending petty crooks and other bottom-feeders, so it comes as quite a surprise when he lands the case of a lifetime: defending a Beverly Hills playboy who is accused of attempted murder. However, what Mick initially thinks is an open-and-shut case with a big monetary reward develops… From TMDB

If you go across the pond and feeling retro - John Mortimer's Rumpole of the Bailey books. BBC made series from the 70s/80s. May be able to catch the odd episode on PBS. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rumpole...

neutral · AI labelView post →TIN SOLDIERS is a dogs breakfast of a film. Neither multiple timelines nor a torpor inducing voiceover can salvage the story. Brad Furman (The Lincoln Lawyer/The Infiltrator) lends this a professional gloss. Would love to know how he's ended up working on this.

neutral · AI labelView post →It's not a show, or at least it wasn't a show last I looked, but John Grisham's *The Rainmaker* was about insurance. It was a book first, then it was a movie. I'm not sure because a few books that have been adapted into movies were later adapted into shows. *The Lincoln Lawyer* was one; I seem to remember a few others. The story (/plot) is, a guy dies of cancer because the drug that could have saved him wasn't approved by his insurance company. He'd paid his premiums for decades, but they…

neutral · AI labelView post →Watching “The Lincoln Lawyer”. It’s okay, so far. No characters to really be rooting for. Not saying that a movie has to have those, but at least make me care about what’s going on with certain characters. Might watch another movie, afterwards, as a cleanser.

I need to change that. I actually read The Lincoln Lawyer novel, but just never got around to the movie. One of these days.

I'm also watching Adolescence on Netflix and that is good. I just finished The night agent & that's on Netflix. Also The Diplomat is excellent as is The Lincoln Lawyer, & zero day

positive · AI labelView post →There was a film and a Netflix series called The Lincoln Lawyer, which was the first Micky Haller novel. The one I'm reading I think is the sixth novel about him. #NotAloneTalk
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm sure he was in the Lincoln Lawyer movie? nice dawg by the way.
neutral · AI labelView post →He's an American writer. He used to be a crime journalist in LA, so his novels tend to have a lot of realism to them. He's been writing for decades and had lots of novels turned to movies/TV. Things like The Lincoln Lawyer (movie and Netflix show) and Bosch (on Amazon) #NotAloneTalk
neutral · AI labelView post →I saw the film of The Lincoln Lawyer! It was good #NotAloneTalk
positive · AI labelView post →I like Michael Connelly's books. Harry Bosch is a good character and Micky Haller (The Lincoln Lawyer). The TV and movie adaptations are good as well. Connelly normally works on them to keep them close to his stories. #NotAloneTalk

positive · AI labelView post →Just saw The Lincoln Lawyer (the 2011 Matthew McConaughey film), actually pretty good. Obviously there was a huge Rockford Files vibe (e.g. answerphone messages), but what the heck, the soundtrack rocked, I mean just listen to this: youtu.be/kC2QK6KHnEA?...
positive · AI labelView post →Fun fact from my Vampire The Masquerade game: While I was reading the books I wrote a Ravnos character into the campaign that was based on The Lincoln Lawyer. But because I had never seen the film adaptation but did love True Detective my vamp was a combo of the two roles. Time is a flat circle.
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching The Lincoln Lawyer instead of football I don’t care about. I read all the books but never watched the film before. McConaughey makes a very good Mickey Haller.
positive · AI labelView post →1. Fracture. Ryan Gosling and Anthony Hopkins. An immediate watch if you haven't already seen it. 2. The Exorcism of Emily Rose. A twist on courtroom dramas, in that it's also a horror film. But the legal-related scenes are very good. 3. Sleepers 4. The Lincoln Lawyer (film)

(And subsidies are not described positively). Wonder if that's the first "major" movie/tv-show to ever tackle that? Just curious.

neutral · AI labelView post →2025 watch #209 - The Lincoln Lawyer. Second Matthew McConaughey film this week, a solid Grisham-esque courtroom crime thriller with a stellar cast. It doesn’t quite hit the emotional heights of something like A Few Good Men, but it’s pretty meaty and very watchable.
