The Lincoln Lawyer

Matthew McConnaghey, Marisa Tomei

This film is just ridiculous. The drama is so speeded up it felt like everyone on screen had overdosed on speed. This is a lawyer who operates out of his car since he's in such a hurry at all times...he is superman without the flying part. He's always right, figures out every twist and resolves what really was a complicated story in record time...even takes a bullet from the bad girl and recovers before the two hours are up.

American TV and film have continually moved to a faster and faster pace in recent years...this film is stark evidence of that. But now they're at the level of absurdity. Where do they go from here? I know where I'm going...to films from other countries...

Too bad...there was a good cast here...wasted from my perspective...
