When The Lincoln Lawyer was first announced, it sounded like it’d be a rather glossy, simple thriller, with Matthew McConaughey once more standing in front of the camera just so he can pick up his paycheque. However if this first trailer is anything to go by, it could be rather darker and more interested than expected. Mickey Haller (McConaughey) is a Los Angeles criminal defense attorney who operates out of the back of his Lincoln sedan. Haller has spent most of his career defending garden-variety criminals, until he lands the case of his career: defending Louis Roulet (Ryan Phillippe), a Beverly Hills playboy accused of rape and attempted murder. But the seemingly straightforward case suddenly develops into a deadly game of survival for Haller. With Marisa Tomei, William H. Macy, john Leguizamo and Michael Pena also in the cast, it could be one to look out for when it arrives in cinemas on Amrch 18th, 2011. Click below for the trailer.
