The Lincoln Lawyer is based on the bestselling novel by Michael Connelly and tells the story of a L.A. criminal defense lawyer named Mickey Haller (Matthew McConaughey) who conducts business from the back of his Lincoln town car while representing a high-profile Beverly Hills client Louis Roulet (Ryan Phillipe).
Accused of a savage attack on a prostitute the slick, suave playboy real estate agent Louis Roulet claims his innocence and hire’s Mickey Haller to represent him. Roulet’s overbearing mother will do anything to clear her son's name. With cost being no issue Mickey has his first high-paying client in years and quickly begins the messy journey to finding justice. Digging into the case, Mickey and P.I. Raul Levin (William H Macy) reveal a darker picture of Roulet's personality and evidence of a past crime. When another murder hits close to home and his family is threatened Mickey questions if he's finally in over his head and how can he make things right with a past client who was wrongly convicted. His pursuit becomes a question of morality and even a question of his own mortality.
The lawyer has spent all his professional life afraid that he wouldn't recognize innocence if it stood right in front of him. What he should have been on the watch for was evil, evil as pure as a flame.
