4-1/2 stars. This is not a whodunit. It is a whatappensnext? Newcomer Brad Furman, it turns out, was a great choice to helm this production. He keeps it always turning, always churning, giving us a ride of a lifetime which is the feeling one gets from the book. Furman uses a lot of close ups, and it adds to feeling of intensity. There has been some talk about wasting actors but this film is reminiscent of the best part about British films, great actors play supporting roles. I loved that about The Lincoln Lawyer. There is not a performance that lags behind. It creates an experience one can not find otherwise. If you have heard Matthew McConnaughey is good than you have heard wrong, because he is great. He takes us from charming and slick to pained and desperate and swings us all the way back to diabolical.

The entire cast is excellent. Ryan Phillippe's Louis Roulet is always shown head to head vs. McConnaughey's Mickey Haller. They have such a way of playing off of each other as two masters of manipulation that is a pleasure to watch. Phillippe brings a depth of nuance to his creepy role that matches McConnaugheys. Josh Lucas, Leguizama, Tomei, Macy, Pena, Fisher, Atkins, Leveiva as Campo, Whigham as Corliss (loved him), and Mason as Micks driver, ALL added to the flavor of the film. And a word about the score and the production in general. A really well done modern urban look and feel to this film with the perfect musical score. All around The Lincoln Lawyer is really enjoyable, laid back and humorous at times, yet instilled with a sense of urgency and jeopardy at others.

Overall, the movie is well-shot, gritty but polished, and a fresh spin on an old story. I've seen movies about lawyers with a conscience before, but never has the predicament seemed so real and complex. I honestly had no idea how this lawyer would be able to get himself out of the jam he's in. For once, it's nice to have a movie one step ahead of the audience. The suspenseful drama clips along at a good pace and there is no shortage of twists and turns. If you are in the mood for an exciting and entertaining legal thriller, give The Lincoln Lawyer a try. I do not believe you will be disappointed.

General Movie Night Information

 

RSVP Requested: Anyone wishing to attend a Movie Night must email or phone me to reserve a seat for the specified night they are coming.   There is limited seating for each viewing, so any unannounced arrivals may find themselves in a Standing-Room-Only situation.  Email me at troy@troyfrey.com or call me at 717-665-1249.

 

Arrival Time: Please Arrive at 7:00 pm so we have time to get all the snacks and drinks organized on the concession table,  and everyone has a chance to meet and greet, get their snacks and drinks ready for the show, and get settled into their seats.  The movie will start at 7:30, so please be present and ready to be seated well before that time. 
 

Admission:  Please bring a Snack Item or jug of beverage for everyone to share.  I will provide beer on tap, a jug of ice tea for those who don't drink beer, fresh hot popcorn from a commercial popper, and the movie.  Some snack suggestions for everyone else to bring: Regular chips & dip, pretzels, Doritos, nuts, cheese curls, crackers, cheese cubes, veggies & dip, donuts, etc. or an additional jug of soda, lemonade, or other drink. All snacks and drinks will be set out on the Concession Table to share around, and any leftover items will be stored for use at the next event.  Be creative with your selections, but please bring something that most everyone will enjoy eating!
 

Feature Movie: Starts at 7:30 Sharp!  Movie shown is as listed in the Movie Schedule Above. 

 

Be aware the movie is usually an action/adventure type of film and the sound system is very powerful. 

Be prepared for very loud explosions, gunfire, crashes, and strong vibrating bass. 

 

Intermission: The movies shown in the Frey Theater are usually paused at a mid-point for a 15 minute intermission in the middle of each movie, for a snack and bathroom break.  Figure this extra time into the total length of the movie.

 

Second Feature: If anyone wishes to stay later, or cannot make the 7:30 movie, a Second Feature can easily be shown either night.  This can be the same or a different Movie, Concert Video, Comedy video, TV series DVD, etc. and will be at the choosing of those staying late.  The second feature would generally start around 9:30 - 10:00 pm, depending on length of first movie - everyone is welcome to stay late! 

 

Late Arrivals: The big garage door at the front of the house will be locked during the movie.  There is an illuminated  Doorbell on the left side of the garage door opening, next to the entry keypad; please press it multiple times in succession.   The doorbell rings in the theater seating area. We will NOT hear you knocking, pounding, or screaming outside once the movie starts - courtesy of the awesome sound system!
