Because it is less, it makes people more pleasing. With the suspenseful black plot of the novel of the same name as the model, the film "Lincoln Lawyer" announced the start of filming and at the same time increased the weight of success.
The movie revolves around the protagonist lawyer Micky. At the beginning of the movie, the lawyer showed a posture that had nothing to do with the mainstream. He doesn't have his own fixed office, but sits in his Lincoln car to work. At first glance, it is really reminiscent of those very unreliable leather bag companies. It is such an unreliable lawyer who showed two personal specialties that are very different from other elite peers shortly after the beginning of the film: first, black and white takes all; second, he is dedicated to defending people on the road who were originally not innocent. With his clever mind and unconventional way of doing things, he is quite comfortable in the lawyer industry.
At the beginning of the film, some profit-seeking Micky took a big order after hearing about the customer's extraordinary wealth. An elegant old woman asked him to defend her son who was engaged in the real estate investment industry. The case does not seem to be complicated. A prostitute accused the client of malicious abuse and rape. The defendant Louis was a young talent with decent clothes and extraordinary demeanor, which made Micky a little bit happy that he finally met a white white family this time. But as the case progressed, Micky found that Louis, with an innocent face, had many loopholes in the process of presenting his case, which made Micky start to shake his original point of view. The next case involved another list he took over four years ago. Micky was innocent in jail because he believed his instincts too much at the time. At the same time, the partner was also murdered while investigating the current case. Nowadays, all the spearheads are directed at his defending object Louis, but American law does not allow defense lawyers to make a defense against the defendant, which makes Micky fall into unprecedented confusion and deep self-blame on himself. Micky seems to have made a decision on how to continue to defend against the huge pressure in his heart and how to make himself the ultimate winner in this game of chess... Everything seems to be moving in a bright direction, but the real ending is It's not that simple...
The story has twists and turns, the ending is complicated and confusing, the protagonist is both good and evil, and the villain also has a lot of skill. All this makes the movie "Lincoln Lawyer" also put on a veil of black temperament inherited from the novel. At the beginning of the filming, the producer chose to be directed by Tommy Lee Jones, but later Lee Jones withdrew from the crew due to a disagreement with the screenwriter John Romanro on the creative concept of the script. Similarly, the protagonist Micky has also been rumored to be starred by Daniel Day Lewis, but due to the age gap with the original, he finally handed over this inevitable character to Matthew McConaughey. However, it is not difficult to see from the initial selection that the producer also wanted to highlight some black elements in the film at the beginning of the film preparation. The court scenes and the final ending in the film are also quite reminiscent of the wonderful court debates and the ending reversal in Billy Wilder's "The Prosecution Witness". But in comparison, it also exposed a weakness in the film. Compared with the thrilling performance of the court debates in the black classics of the year, the court debates in this film are more like a series of boring cutscenes. Micky and Louis have their own strengths, allowing the audience to just start from the beginning. Waiting to see how Micky won the lawsuit in the end, and at the same time it seemed that the lawyer of the other party had indeed become a role to accompany the prince to study. In the end, whether it was the sudden personality change of the old woman or the Flying Bike Party’s Wonder Soldier, there was a sense of bluntness from the inside to the outside.
Similarly, whether it is a movie or a novel, Micky’s image is more reminiscent of the characters who are active in the black and white era and are more lively and vivid, and the black and white conversion is more natural and easy to walk on the boundary of law and morality, such as "Ye Long Meng Duo" "In Humphrey Bogart's personal detective and other roles. In contrast, Matthew McConaughey's performance also has its own highlights. Matthew has performed a series of outstanding roles in several identities: a lawyer who walks on the edge of the mainstream, a loser who is confused and his own moral value, a well-thought-out court trader and a charming ex-husband. Matthew’s successful conversion cannot be without the vivid images of the characters in the original work as a foreshadowing, but it also slightly exposes the film’s bluntness in dealing with the emotional transitions of the characters at various times, and occasionally makes people feel that it should be lubricated at the appropriate point. The oil is smoother.
All this can't help but make people sweat secretly for director Brad Furman. If a novel like this is successful, everyone will be happy, if it fails, I am afraid that the release time of the next film of a new director like this is hard to say.
Generally speaking, "Lincoln Lawyer" successfully absorbed the essence of the novel of the same name (the novel author Connery thinks the film is still very successful), has a black temperament, the plot is ups and downs, and also comes with Matthew McConaughey's Superb acting skills and personal charm are indeed a drama with exquisite workmanship in the first half of the year.
