The premise
In The Lincoln Lawyer, we meet motor mouth defense attorney, Mickey Haller (Matthew McConaughey), who is hired by an extremely wealthy man, Louis Roulet (Ryan Phillippe) to defend him against allegations of rape. Mickey meets his new client in jail; he was arrested by detective Lee Lankford (Jamie McShane), and roughed up by cops while still trying to wear his expensive suit. Throughout the film, Phil Seymore Hoffman plays Jack Grossman, Haller’s investigator. Among other things, he provides comic relief as well as tips on how to try your case in court. And then there’s his assistant Billing (William H.
Introducing the key characters
The Lincoln Lawyer is basically LA noir adapted to a big screen. Liam Neeson, Marisa Tomei, and Ryan Phillippe (along with others) star as characters caught up in all of it. Jamie McShane plays Detective Lee Lankford, who works under District Attorney Bonnie Weber (Marisa Tomei) and spends most of his time on what he calls cold cases. The movie also features William H. Macy as Mickey Haller, Will’s defense attorney brother.
What happens in Chapter 1
Angelo Soto is taken into custody after confessing to Jamie McShane (Lee Lankford) that he hired someone to kill Mick Haller. According to Soto, Haller hired him first, but then backed out of their arrangement when Haller realized that Soto was not really investigating Laura Kim’s family. The next day, in court, Maggie (the prosecuting attorney) argues against releasing Angelo on bail because he has many contacts throughout Los Angeles and may try to flee or harm others if allowed out of jail. With his record, she argues there is no way he should be released on bail.
Discussion/Conclusion
In conclusion, I would like to discuss what can be learned from The Lincoln Lawyer. One thing that can be learned is that you should never judge someone before you get to know them. There is much more than meets than eye in all aspects of life, and if you are not careful, it could end up hurting you in a big way. In fact, in my opinion, when you start judging people for their own actions before getting to know them on a personal level (and accepting them for who they are) one of two things will happen – Either your relationships with those around you will quickly and dramatically decrease or those around you will stop talking to or inviting you places completely because they cannot trust what comes out of your mouth.

Where does Ian McShane live?
Of course, McShane has made a career out of playing hardened characters in films and television. He’s also delivered his fair share of heartwarming performances; especially as Brother Ray on HBO’s Deadwood. Still, there is something sinister lurking behind those blue eyes and mischievous smile. Perhaps it’s just that air of mystery that has led to McShane becoming one of Hollywood’s most sought after actors. Despite being best known for his rough-and-tumble screen persona, McShane actually enjoys traveling abroad and spending time in secluded locations like Malta or Berlin, where he can unwind without running into fans or paparazzi every day.
Who plays Zhaban?
My favorite movie has to be The Lincoln Lawyer. This week, I decided to watch it again. In one scene, there is a man named Zhaban played by Ritchie Coster. Although his part was very small in the film, I realized that I still remembered it and really enjoyed watching him perform in that scene.
