Imagine that you need a lawyer, and he does not make an appointment at the office, as is usually done, but in the cabin of his own car. Mickey Holler does this - a specialist who can help almost any client who faces a prison term. It is a pity that now he has enough of his troubles. Such a story is told by the film “Lincoln for a lawyer”, the actors (photo) of which will be examined in more detail.
Plot
Mickey Holler is a successful lawyer, but he does not sit in the office, his workplace is a black Lincoln brand car. Every day, moving in it around the city, he solves issues related to the release from custody of various criminal elements. He is engaged in the most hopeless cases, so people turn to him, who have practically no chance of avoiding imprisonment.
Once, a rich client from a family of well-known realtors - Luis Roule, turns to him. The guy is suspected of beating a prostitute, which he did not seem to commit. So at first everything seems simple, there is a video recording and some more convincing evidence proving the defendant's innocence. But suddenly, the defense begins to crumble when Mickey delves deeper into this matter.
Such is the backstory of the film "Lincoln for a lawyer." The actors and the roles that they got will be discussed below.
Mickey Holler
Advocacy is definitely his calling. Otherwise, how to explain that he manages to help clients accused of the most serious crimes. True, his work has its drawbacks. For example, relations with prosecutors and policemen have deteriorated, which, for a second, put a lot of energy and resources to catch the villains. And he divorced his wife, the prosecutor, most likely, for the same reason. But what to do is his work, and he is a real professional in it. Hence, there are so many regular customers whom he is ready to help. That's just interesting, who will now help him?
Almost all the actors who took part in the film (“Lincoln for the Lawyer”) had already managed to earn their popularity by this time. As the main character of the picture, Mickey Holler, whose role was played by Matthew McConaughey. He earned his fame by starring in the movie Time to Kill. After that, he appeared in comedies for some time: “Wedding Planner”, “Love and Other Troubles”, “How to Get Rid of a Guy in 10 Days”. But he received the most positive reviews for the films: “Killer Joe”, “Mad”, “Super Mike”, “Dallas Buyers Club”, “Interstellar” and the series “True Detective”.
Louis Roule
A suspect who allegedly beat a prostitute, a seemingly good-natured man. With this, he immediately convinced the lawyer that he did not commit what he was accused of. Moreover, the evidence available indicates this. How did this girl dare to blame him when she invited him home? Yes, and the knife that Louis found, he began to wear after a disaster happened to his mother. Mickey even thought it would be the easiest and fastest deal in the history of his career. But here his familiar investigator, Frank Levine, is involved in the work.
The role of Louis Rule went to Ryan Philip. Like the other actors who starred in the film (Lincoln for the Lawyer), Ryan Philip had starred in many projects by this time. He became famous thanks to the series “One Life to Live”, as well as the films “Studio 54” and “Cruel Intentions”. But these were teenage roles. In adulthood, the actor starred in such films as “Dangerous Truth”, “Clash”, “Chaos”, “Treason”, “Fraud”, etc.
Frank Levine
Frank is an independent investigator and perhaps Mickey's only friend. Therefore, when he asked for help, he did not refuse. Having extensive experience in such work, Frank quickly found all the necessary information. But he had better deal with her carefully, because all this can turn into very big troubles.
The role of Frank Levine was played by
William Macy. He is familiar to many from the previously popular TV series Ambulance. Like the other actors who starred in the movie Lincoln for the Lawyer, Macy was lucky to become an Academy Award nominee for her role in the movie Fargo (1996) from
the Coen brothers. He also got excellent roles in the films: “The Airplane of the President”, “A Night in the Style of a Boogie”, “Cellular”, etc.
Maggie Macpherson
Mickey's ex-wife works as a prosecutor, but despite the fact that they are rivals in the courtroom, Maggie often helps him by advising on a particular case. Lately, relations between them are starting to improve. And the "former" are already thinking about converging. But the situation in which Mickey finds himself is endangering his whole family.
Like the other actors involved in the filming of the film (Lincoln for the Lawyer), Marisa Tomei began her film career with the series. For the sake of this, she even dropped out of university. But she was noticed, and soon she got a role in the film "My cousin Vinnie." After that, she starred in many films: “In the Bedroom,” “Wrestler,” “Short Games,” and others.
Following the scenario, the actors of the film “Lincoln for a Lawyer” show how easily a person copes with other people's problems, and how difficult it becomes for him when he himself is faced with a similar situation. It’s only a pity that the film was too short to show the whole story. Therefore, after watching, I would like to read the novel of the same name by Michael Connelly to find out all the details of the events that happened with lawyer Mickey Holler.
