True to its title, this film is about Mick, a street-smart lawyer operating out of his Lincoln automobile. His latest client is a rich kid named Louis who has been charged with assaulting a prostitute victim. Mick then stumbles upon a previous client's case which seems to match the MO of Louis's and realises that his now-incarcerated former client could be innocent. The soundtrack is minimal and could've lightened aspects of the movie however there is some satisfying tension towards the end. Unfortunately, despite being slick and focused, The Lincoln Lawyer never really evokes much more than those few thrills and that's what lets it down. All in all, it's probably rewatchable over the years but I doubt it will hold your full attention.
7/10
