The Lincoln Lawyer

Wow - what a staggering waste of talent. I guess the economy really is that bad. I can just hear the meeting at the studio where they said "Let's be on the really safe side... get every celebrity you can round up, pull a script out of the 80s that went over pretty well and let's all just go through the motions and stay afloat."

So they did. Everyone did as they were told, and this thing came out.

I'll never get those couple of hours back.

It was almost worth admission just to watch wonderful talent like William Macy and Marissa Tomei (with new teeth?) and Bryan Cranston (wow, he must have just had a few minutes to kill on the way to his set at Breaking Bad and offered to jump in for a few scenes) and John Leguizamo try to breathe a little life into the most cliche dialogue ever. Almost.

It was almost worth admission to see Trace Adkins as a tough biker. Almost.

There are a few interesting twists, but nothing you won't see coming. There are a few good courtroom scenes, but nothing you haven't seen before. This was a yawner and a real waste of big resources. I'm glad I went to the matinee - at least it was cheap. Gets a "2".

Pueblo Tinseltown was the place - saw Super Manager Shane working hard and doing a great job. Fresh hot popcorn and sprinkle cheese helped to ease the disappointment of this movie!

Can't wait for .... "THOR"!
