No matter how handsome he may be or how good he looks with his shirt off, Matthew McConaughy will never be the romantic leading man Hollywood has been trying to force him to be in such miserable dreck as Ghosts of Girlfriends Past and Failure to Launch. He’s just not that kind of guy, at least on film. McConaughy has always been best playing sexy scoundrels, the kind of bad boys who dress well and have a twinkle in their eyes that you know will not be there in the morning because, no matter how much fun he had in the sack, there are bigger and better opportunities awaiting him on the other side of the bedroom door. The Lincoln Lawyer, which has McConaughy plating a sleazy lawyer defending a young, rich guy named Louis Roulet (played by Ryan Phillippe) accused of beating and raping a woman, gives him a chance to shine.
