A 2011 police procedural with a surprisingly star-studded cast has become a surprising win for Paramount+ nearly 15 years later. The Lincoln Lawyer, the legal thriller starring Matthew McConaughey, Marisa Tomei, and Ryan Phillippe, has snuck into the top 10 most popular movies on Paramount Plus, currently sitting in the #8 spot. The Lincoln Lawyer sneakily beats out Shooter, Mark Wahlberg's one-person-army action movie which has also been steadily floating around the Paramount+ top 10, but falls short of other projects like Jack Reacher and South Park: The End of Obesity. In addition to McConaughey, Tomei, and Phillippe, The Lincoln Lawyer also stars William H. Macy, John Leguizamo, Michael Peña, and Bob Gunton, and sits at impressive scores of 84% from critics and 82% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes.
