Great thriller. Acting was also top notch.

Excellent movie, highly recommend!

MM is great in this movie. One of his better efforts, and good supporting cast. Very enjoyable.

Brief

One of the few times when a movie is as good as the book!!!

The mobile office - a lincoln town car. An RV might be better but will not have the class.

This movie is interesting - it distinguishes between real estate attorneys and defense attorneys.

This movie has a little bit of everything, including an unusual romance and a different presentation of a defense attorneys clients that added some great humorous moments to the story line. That’s the biggest reason that I gave the movie five stars - a serious court drama with several side stories that somehow all intersect beautifully. As the movie plays out you keep thinking you know where it’s headed, and end up only being half right as another element comes into play.

Overall, a great movie that doesn’t rely on blood, sex, car chases or explosions to keep you watching.

Great movie to watch over and over

I always know he was a good actor but this proves that he is one if are best actor if are time

Great movie but when I try to download the 1080 version it gives me the 720 - yes, of course I checked my preferences. What’s up with that iTunes?!

Great movie!!!

Darn good movie! Love MM. He doesn't get enough credit. Only problem with this movie is the plot twist is revealed too early.

Great Movie, I'm a little picky when it comes to movies and don't often enjoy them, but this movie is excellent, it has everything you could possibly want from a movie, hope you enjoy it too. c:

Would recommend!

This movie was great! I definitely think it was one of the best movies I have ever seen. Excellent plot. Excellent acting. Excellent ending. You won't be disappointed.

Tried to stay interested, but dragged on and was predictable.

This is an awesome movie! I just saw it and I must say I was floored! There were so many twist and turns that will have you on the edge of your seat. Easily the BEST movie I've ever seen with Matthew McConaughey in it!

You know when youre so angry and frustrated you just want to scream? You know when you're so happy and relieved you just want to scream? Well this movie will make you feel both, along with every emotion in between. If you are looking for something predictable, this movie is not it. The acting is superb, something I did not initially expect. But Matthew M as the central character was perfect and all the supporting actors did more than just support. They brought the whole storyline together and it was amazing to see how almost every one of them played a significant part in the plot. This movie makes you feel for the main character and allows you to feel with him. Beautifully done and one of the best movies I have seen in a long time.

I rented this movie on my ipad2 and it stopped playing after 2 minutes, then locked up my video app. I had to search for ways to unlock the video app. Even after restarts, the movie won't play!

Since THE FIRM I've been hesitant to see a movie based on a mystery novel…mainly because the book is always better. With THE FIRM the movie was too far from the book, but that is NOT the case with THE LINCOLN LAWYER.

McConaughey does a wonderful job playing the title character, Mickey Haller, and the rest of the cast is amazing as well. The film stays true to the book and the story is done extremely well. Excellent book, excellent film, fantastic acting by a great cast.

Drama. If you're into legal cases and for a good dosis of action, this is your movie. I really liked it, even though it is not my type of movie, the drama will keep you glued to your seat. I would say 3 out of 5.

Good plot, surprisingly good acting from lead guy. Some of the story was a bit far-fetched, but it still worked. It was somewhat better than I expected.

Admittedly, I am not a big fan of Matthew McConaughey's. But I was pleasantly surprised by his acting in these movie. I highly recommend this one. Enjoy!

Oustanding movie! The acting was terrific. McConaughey was great as Michael Haller. Highly recommend this movie!

Unsophisticated, poorly stylized, amateurish tat. If you spend the money, don't waste your time.

Idk how people found it boring. They shouldn't expect some crazy, action movie. After all it is about a lawyer trying to solve a case. This movie was under appreciated! :(

This movie is pure class!

This movie and the actors were even better than the book. Have recommended it to many friends.

My husband dragged me to this movie and I'm so happy he did. Great storyline.

I can't even get the preview to play on my iPad...how am I supposed to know if it will play through after I buy?

Must see!

One of my favorite movies of all time you have to watch it. It has the right amount of everything for a movie watch it you won't be disappointed

Best ever. Seen this a million times. Love it soo fricken much. Gerard Butler is amazing. Could live off this movie.

This is one of those rare movies that encompasses everything GOOD about movies! It's funny, smart, well scripted/cast, action packed, and above all it's effortless. A must see!!!

Good movie...worth the time to watch but glad I didn't go to the movies to watch it.

This reminds me of Training Day, though I like Training Day more. Dirty cop/lawyer, even dirtier client. Ending is predictable. Is still a good watch, but I don't know if you'll want to watch it more than once (aka, a good renter). Then again, Matt and Ryan are easy on the eyes... So it depends on what you're looking for in this flick.

Great movie so fun to watch. So believable. There is honor among thieves and worth! Great plot and script. Rent not buy. Worth the money.

Boring, stale, predictable. Turned it off 1/2 way through...

Really really GOOD!

Another typical film critic. Just thinking of the most clever thing to say with no desire stating their actual thoughts of the movie.

This was a fun movie which I watched on my ipod. It didn't bother me that it was teeny tiny. Sorry Matt! Also missed some crucial plot line or maybe it wasn't there--but not to give anything away--what the mother's issue had to do with the son's problem. That said it was fun to watch and made an economy class plane ride pass quickly!

…not worth five stars. This is one of the movies you watch once, enjoy and forget. Nothing you would want to watch over and over again because of some highlights like wit or suspense. It is a good movie, just not good enough. Rent it, don't buy it.

Great Movie!!

loved it

Not great but worth the money.

Unexpectedly cool, great music, fantastic performance from McConaughey and the whole film just does it for me. I wish they make a TV series out of it.

Had they used a first person narration from Mickey, the movie would have been so much better! You miss out on a lot of important information that would have made Mickey a deeper, more rounded character. Plus, they changed the ending and other parts.

I love this movie!

Very very good movie .. Perhaps this is the real world we live in :)

It was a great movie. SOME parts to me were a little dragged out. But overall. I was shocked I liked this.

Don't think about it ... just rent the movie if you are reading .... this its a great movie ....

It is like a Mexican Coca-Cola made with pure cane sugar in a 12-ounce glass bottle poured gently at a 45-degree angle into a glass filled with crushed ice: Initial bite, continual bursts of cool flavor, and a smooth satisfying finish . . .

The biggest reason I didn't see this in the theater had to do with my own prejudice. You see, my parents and I disagree on movies about 99.9% of the time, therefore, they recommend one and I typically ignore it or boycott it. Well, this is that 0.01% film cause after I rented it I was impressed by it. McConaughey to me has generally been enjoyable. He's done action and I know he can deliver intensity. He also usually adds charm along with that kind of southern accent of his.

So, the premise on this one is that he's a lawyer who generally works out of his Lincoln Town Car. He's got a chauffeur because apparently he lost his license some time in the back story but never bothered to tell his driver that he got it back cause they really like each other. I mean, who wouldn't want to look cool with a driver. Anyway, he is referred to defend a client who's been accused of attempted murder. The evidence shows that he was arrested in her house unconscious after an obvious struggle and the defendent claims he was lured there by a woman who is later revealed as a prostitute. He claimed he was conked on the back of head unconscious after entering the front door and assumed that someone else set him up cause of course he's rich as hell.

Anyway, there are two precitable ways for the story to go. Either we find out he really was the victim or he's lying about it cause he's that kind of good citizen. Won't go beyond the obvious on that one cause the film is all McConaughey. Without his performance, this is a complete dud cause the rest is rather formulaic. Rental recommendation.

You are going to hate this movie!!! In fact, watching the movie after reading the book I almost wonder how someone that doesn't already know what is going to happen follows along. There are huge set of details left out and it just seemed like a poor adaptation.

Matthew McConaughey should not make any more of those terrible comedy movies, he is great as a dramatic actor and he proves in this movie. This movie was suspensful, full of twists and a heck of a surprise ending.

fantastic movie full of crazy twists and "no ways". great acting as well.

Awesome movie from start to finish.

I was pleasantly surprised how good this movie was so surprised that even my husband liked it. I think McConaughey did a great job and he didn't have to take his shirt off to keep us entertained. Although he is a Texas boy and I will always love him, I think this movie brought him back to life!! Mathew, keep on making movies like this one.

this is kinda funny because this movie isbased on my friends dad's book :)

This is a movie that actually has a great story. It is definitely worth renting. I loved it!

This movie was amazing! Definitely recommend buying/renting it.

There are sooo many bad movies these days. This is a good one!!

One of the only new movies I really enjoyed!

One of the best lawyer movies I have seen in a while

i haven't read the book but the movie was fantastic. I held my breath until the very last second and only after the castnames started showing could I be sure it was really over. a MUST SEE!

I absolutely enjoyed this movie. From start to finish, entertaining.

This movie was surprisingly gripping from the start!!! I recommend to any movie watchers!!!

Matt is very good and was good to see Michael Pare and of course, Bryan Cranston (with hair).

Mathew m kills in this folks. Wouldn't be surprised to see a best actor nomination! This is well worth the rental or purchase price. A great story that is well acted and keeps you glued the entire time. Loved it!

Good or Bad, I don't listen to the Magazine rag reviewers. This movie made me think and had me on the edge wondering what was going to happen next. Great cast and earthy set. I don't like "Rap" but it fit the scene and mood of the movie.

Matthew M and Ryan P really impressed me in this movie. Truly saw the greatness in their acting!!!

This movie has it all! Easy Story to Follow and Terrific Acting!! A+++

What a great movie! One of the best this year!

There isn't much to say that hasn't already been said , really . Not to worry , anybody ! There are still 3 more potential upcoming Lincoln Lawyer movies in the near future .

Good movie

I loved it. Keeps you guessing.

Best movie I have seen in awhile.

Most underrated movie if the year. Clever, witty, funny, dark and entertaining. One of only a few movies I have been to in years where the audience clapped at the end.

This movie was excellent, other than Mr. Phillippe's performance, which was awful. He is always pretty, but this is not his best work.

I purchased two films last night...this one and Insidious. I was completely disillusioned by Insidious, especially after it got great reviews and was touted as the scariest film since the Exorcist. While the film did have scary moments, the entire premise was sloppy and perhaps even irresponsible, given that they want to make people fear the prospect of astral projection, which is completely safe. Anyway...this film was a powerhouse legal thriller and McConaughey is in rare form. He has all the power and believability he first brought to the legal genre in A Time To Kill and he is right at home once again with this incredible film. The cast was stellar, the plot was engaging and unpredictable and the mounting tension will keep any serious lover of legal thrillers on the edge of his or her seat. I have no complaints about this film at all. Highly recommend, will be watching this one again really soon. 5 Easy Stars!

Great Drama/ Thriller of Brad Furman. This was the best performance that Matthew McConaughey has ever given and for that he deserves a nomination for best actor at the year's upcoming Academy Awards. Also great Performaces were given from Ryan Phillippe. I didn't expect any of the twists and turns in the plot and that is what made the movie that much greater. this is a great buy for anyone who loves a good thriller or just a fan of Matthew McConaughey.

I give this Great Film 5 Stars

We enjoyed the comedy, the romance, the sexiness, the suspense, the character portrayals and of course, the Lincoln....also being from Longview, Texas, we ADORE Matthew MC. I already bought the movie after seeing it. This is a Must See! One of the best in a while!!!!!

Loved it.

Talking heads, flash backs, etc.

I hope they come out with a second movie.

We saw the movie twice in one night!

Story kept you guessing. It's one of those movies you wish never ended. Not to mention the great cast.

extremely entertaining..... worth renting

Great story! The movie does the book justice. Anyone who says other wise is a moron.

Keeps you thinking on your feet through the whole movie. Twist is unexpected.

I was skeptical about renting this movie because I had never heard anything about it, and I was afraid it was one of those corny independent movies poorly written and produced. It turned out to be the complete opposite. The plot is enthralling and the movie is very well produced. I highly recommend this movie to everyone.

Good flick,pass the time quickly.

Great Movie

wow. matthew mcconaughey can act. who knew? this is a very well done, very entertaining film. it's not a masterpiece, but it's good, and you'll be so surprised that the man can act that your jaw will be hanging the whole time.

Love the twists and turns of Lincoln Lawyer. Great movie, with a powerful performance from The sexy Matthew McConnaughey. This is his best movie since A Time to Kill.

I thought the writing as well as te acting were both great!

I loved this book and was worried that Matthew McConaughey was going to be playing Mickey Haller but he did a fantastic job. The movie sticks very close to the book which is always another concern. Definitely worth watching!

McConaughey shines as the lawyer, a role that should feel familiar to that of "A Time To Kill(which if you haven't seen, watch it!). The movies paces runs fast and causes you to question everyone. Also good to see Phillippe staring in a serious role in a serious film, he gives something to the character that really makes it come alive. Watch and Enjoy!

Awsome movie i loved it great acting to with great actors
