The Lincoln Lawyer adaptation from Michael Connelly’s book looks awfully prickly. Matthew McConaughey plays the Lincoln Lawyer and is joined by a stellar cast including Ryan Phillippe, Marisa Tomei, Bryan Cranston, Josh Lucas and John Leguizamo.  

The movie is directed by new filmmaker Brad Furman and the screenplay was written by veteran screenwriter John Romano. The trailer says it all, enjoy.

The movie opens March 18, 2011.
