Details

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 into something more sinister.

Nonureva Really Surprised!
Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.
Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
leethomas-11621 SPOILER ALERT Maybe my legal sense is poor but why can't Haller drop Roulet as a client after he visits Martinez in San Quentin and realises he's been set up? I staggered through until the demise of William Macy's character and then had no real reason to watch this one out. Plot too forced and ultimately unconvincing. (viewed 11/16)

dantonstl what did I like about this movie. Ryan phillipe. he was a silent scary dude. I know that I have reviewed this title before, and it was probably on Yahoo...and now that yahoo has become non existent hwere I am adding a review again. WHY. because I think this movie is worth watching. I haven't seen jack ryan shadow recruit, but want to. The reviews are not great regarding that kevin Costner and Chris pine film, but I have to tell you, This wouldn't be a good review if it weren't for the scary presence of Ryan phillipe. I never write enough lines, and that's one of the worst cases with this website when it comes to posting news and opinions regarding films.
AMar_rom McConaughey is surprisingly good in this court drama as the amoral but capable defense lawyer Mickey Haller. Haller accepts to represent the case of a rich young man accused of mauling to death a young woman after allegedly trying to rape her. Haller makes a good effort to help his client, however, he soon realizes that some decisions in life always come at a cost.Haller is a good defense attorney and takes his cases not because he believes in his clients innocence necessarily. Instead, he claims that everybody in our society is entitled to a legal representation and of course he is up to the job provided the payment is there for his services. He appears as a cynical person but he abides by the law.This is a good film and especially viewers who like court dramas will not be disappointed. The movie becomes a bit formulaic in the second half but still it leaves a very good impression.
