Lincoln Lawyer

Ok so, for a guy who has a movie blog I really don't get to see movies that much. Now about a week ago I was standing in front of a theater. I had no plan of what to see just to see something, unfortunately I was on a time limit so I had to choose between Lincoln Lawyer and Diary of a Wimpy Kid 2. Well I never saw the first Diary of a Wimpy Kid so I figured I'd be lost as to the story so ten minutes later I was sitting in the theater for Lincoln Lawyer.

Lincoln Lawyer is based on a book by Michael Connelly which I have never read and probably won't read (crime novels aren't my thing).  The movie stars Matthew McConaughey, wearing a shirt, as Mike Haller the man who apparently feels it's bad ass to relive Driving Miss Daisy while pouring over his active cases and conning money off of his clients. Mike takes the case of a rich kid who claims to be wrongly accused of beating a hooker. While working on the case he finds he's in over his head.
 
Lincoln Lawyer was ok, I remember walking out of the theater generally pleased but it's not very memorable as movies go.  The case was interesting the first time but now that I know the ending I don't think I'll want to see it again. Also the ending of the movie just kind of peders out. The big climax doesn't feel worth the rest of the movie. It's worth a matenee at least.
