Excellent movie. Matthew McConaughey is at his best when he's playing a lawyer. Great cast and a plot twist I didn't see coming.

Kudos for following the book extremely well! The main drawback was that many of the events occurred without backup descriptions, so it seemed confusing unless the watcher remembered what happened in the book.

McConaughey is almost always likeable. : ) Typical Follywood film fare, but good acting, and some interesting plot lines.

Matthew McConaughey certainly held my attention, his charactor was very entertaining, creative, sexy, surprising with every detail played out like this was such a natural part for him. Working from his car and his detective good guy…

McConaughey carries the film, once underrated as an actor he rarely misses anymore. Connelly writes about the dark side of LA and his books are better than movies or TV shows but if he can get McConaughey then I hope they continue the…

Watch out he's in a Lincoln again but he wasn't driving. The accused was a good opposing character to the lawyer, from the beginning he oooz bad vibs. I like the he said she said story line. The viewers have to pick a side. It was a…

A fairly good movie about the sleezy side of the criminal law profession and the human garbage they represent.

Really enjoyed this movie-a bit different from most cop/lawyer type movies

Generally a fine movie. But I was bothered by the sudden change in filming style for the last 15 or 20 minutes of the movie. Shakey hand held cuts and amature quick zooms really changed the filming style. But why? It worked in…

McConaughey really went for broke on this one, shedding his rom-com persona and delivering a great performance.

McConaughey owns the screen as a street-wise defense lawyer working the system to achieve justice. Good movie, good cast. Everything wraps up maybe just a tad bit too easily at the end, and the bad guy doesn't suffer enough, but an…

This was the type of movie that showed how seedy some lawyers can be.

Just read the book and now saw the movie. The movie was very good but always difficult to match the book for detail, All in all a good movie for a Saturday nights entertainment.
