The Lincoln Lawyer 4K (2011) Ultra HD 2160p REMUX Review
The Lincoln Lawyer is presented on 4K UHD courtesy of Lionsgate Films with a 2160p transfer in 2.35:1. Digitally captured with Red One cameras and finished at a 2K DI, the 1080p presentation of Lincoln Lawyer received extremely high marks from me personally, but I have to say I was less than completely pleased with some of the "upgrade" to 4K. While there's the typical increase in detail and especially fine detail levels here, HDR has added a somewhat cooler temperature across the board, making the blue graded scenes positively icy at times, and with other, supposedly sun baked, sequences looking just slightly pallid. While noticeable in the 1080p presentation, brief flurries of noise (as at around 48:29) are almost swarm like now. The most prevalent issue I experienced was pretty pronounced image instability in lateral pans or any sideways movement within the frame itself. I noticed it first in the credits sequences, where names drift in from the side of the frame and then move across the frame, but repeatedly when the camera panned, the image stuttered and at one especially noticeable moment at around 1:50:08, I feared that a hospital was going to crumble before my eyes. I seem to be more sensitive to this "judder" than a lot of people, and so I invited an innocent bystander to view selected moments of the film without me giving any hint of what I was seeing, and even this person mentioned how "shaky" things looked.
If the video presentation is at least intermittently a little wonky, the audio presentation on the 4K UHD disc takes what was an already excellent sounding DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 mix on the Blu-ray and ups the ante with a great sounding Dolby Atmos track. From the first sounds of Bobby Bland under the opening credits, it's clear there's a new presence in the mix, one that continues in appealing midair placement of effects in several jail scenes, or later when Mick is walking around outside of the courtroom, where the general bustle of "white noise" courtesy of Los Angeles traffic clearly wafts overhead and seems to surround the dialogue taking place. Both source cues and underscore have a new energy in this mix, and discrete channelization continues to be first rate.

I found this movie very enjoyable. Matthew McConaughey played a very believable and spot on performance as Mick...I think the casting decisions were great Marisa Tomei, Ryan Phillippe, William H. Macy, Josh Lucas, etc. Did a fabulous job. The plot line was fantastic and left you on the edge of your seat, the script was enjoyable, with both serious dramatic scenes to funny lines that left the whole theatre laughing. Over all a great movie thats targeted toward an older audience 30's-60's. But I'm 13 and my mother took me and I loved it. Although I'm a teenager and most of us just like a bunch of romantic-comedies, I have a wider genre of love in movies. Hope you enjoyed this one as much as I did.
