2. The Lincoln Lawyer (2011)
Have you ever seen a bad Matthew McConaughey movie? Yeah, we haven’t either, and Lincoln Lawyer is no exception.
This movie follows the story of Mick Haller, a defense attorney. All seems normal when a wealthy client needs to use Haller’s services. It isn’t long, though, until Haller realizes his client’s crime reminds him a lot of an old case.
McConaughey’s character seems like one of the trusted lawyers I’d want on my side. But, don’t get too comfortable because this movie has twists you won’t see coming.
