THE LINCOLN LAWYER (Theatrical Release USA 2011)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.6|5.0 Starsìììì

The Lincoln Lawyer—smart and savvy—almost earns re-watch status due to non-stop suspense mixed with exceptionally witty presentation. Watch for Trace Adkins as a very believable biker dude. Great work for Director Brad Furman.
