Leave your thoughts about The Lincoln Lawyer.
| Screen JunkiesFred TopelA perfectly average legal drama. I trust that the book is exactly like this, totally programmed to hit standard beats in the plot. It'll serve its purpose in theaters just like a paperback novel does. |
| San Antonio Current Kiko MartinezAs far as courtroom dramas are concerned, you'd be hard-pressed to find something as generic as The Lincoln Lawyer. |
| Spectrum (St. George, Utah)Bruce BennettSprinkled with just enough humor to keep from getting too self-serious, it's briskly paced and gives McConaughey's fans something to brag about... Again. |
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn Johanson[Not] the cartoon its star would appear to promise, and that's mostly down to McConaughey bypassing his usual Method and not gadding about onscreen like he's just rolled out of a really good three-day bong-and-beer party... |

| Denver PostLisa KennedyThe Lincoln Lawyer is not a feat of genre-breaking design. But it is a well-oiled machine. |
| NewsdayRafer GuzmanIt's really just a solid courtroom drama, but these days moviegoers should take what they can get. |
| ColeSmithey.comCole Smithey[VIDEO] Michael Connelly's spin-off mystery book series provides the basis for a sturdy but rushed legal thriller. |

| KWQC-TV (Iowa)Linda CookAll of those who count 'A Time to Kill' among your favorite courtroom dramas, raise a hand. Now use that hand to grab some money and run out to see 'The Lincoln Lawyer,' another riveting legal thriller starring Matthew McConaughey. |
