I think that Matthew McConaughey
has gotten a bit of a bad reputation over the years, but one he's definitely earned. He keeps choosing films and roles that benefit from his falsified good looks and charisma, and usually they fall flat on all other accounts. The only reason I had faith in The Lincoln Lawyer is because it's got such a fantastic supporting cast. You here names like Marisa Tomei, William H. Macy, and Bryan Cranston, and you expect something fantastic. You here McConaughey, all that hope goes out the window. I don't quite hate the man's talent, but he hasn't really given us anything worthy of praise. That could change with this film, but it's not going to be a major revelation. Every turn around takes time.
