The Lincoln Lawyer (2011)

The Lincoln Lawyer, directed by Brad Furman, stars Matthew McConaughey as Mick Haller, a defense attorney who works out of a Lincoln Continental. Mick's clients are mostly petty offenders, but he's unexpectedly offered the chance to represent a wealthy Beverly Hills playboy named Louis Ross Roulet, played by Ryan Phillippe, who's been charged with attempted murder.

Mick first believes that the case will be simple and straightforward. But he soon discovers that there's more to it than meets the eye, and that it's linked to one of his prior cases.

Trivia: After starring in the film, McConaughey went on to become a spokesman for the Lincoln brand in 2014.
