Proving to be a more successful and consistent adaptation of Michael Connelly’s ‘Lincoln Lawyer’ novel series, Netflix’s show is back for a fourth season, this time bringing Connelly’s sixth book, “The Law of Innocence” to screens.

And putting Mickey on trial for a murder he didn’t commit (not a spoiler; it was established at the end of the previous season that he’s being framed) makes for a hefty dollop of fresh tension that aims to keep the show from feeling stale.

Adapted by Ted Humphrey and David E. Kelley (with Dailyn Rodriguez running the show itself alongside Humphrey), the season proves to be an effective use of the cast, and while there isn’t too much tension as to whether Mickey will make it out of the trap he’s been placed in, the various plot twists are compelling and entertaining.

The series also continues to make good use of various Los Angeles locations, with a particularly stylish sheen that suits the storyline.

Garcia-Rulfo slips once more into the lead as Mickey, giving a passionate, nuanced performance that also features plenty of charm.

Around him, the rest of the cast play well in supporting roles, while Sasha Alexander and Constance Zimmer are welcome additions.

‘The Lincoln Lawyer’ may never quite challenge the best of the best from the prestige TV category, yet in nevertheless provides solid legal wrangling, a charismatic central performances and enough twists and turns to keep you guessing.

It’s good to be riding with Mickey Haller again (even if he doesn’t get to use the car as much this year).

‘The Lincoln Lawyer’ Season 4 receives 75 out of 100.

What’s the story of ‘The Lincoln Lawyer’?

The show adapts various Connelly tomes, particularly “The Brass Verdict.” It focuses on Mickey Haller (Manuel Garcia-Rulfo), a charming and unconventional defense attorney in Los Angeles who operates out of the back seat of his Lincoln Town Car instead of a traditional office (though he does also have one of those).

After a long hiatus due to personal struggles, Mickey inherits a high-profile murder case from a deceased colleague, thrusting him back into the fast-paced world of criminal defense. As he navigates the complexities of the legal system, he also grapples with his personal demons, strained family relationships, and the lingering danger surrounding the case.

With each episode, the series explores gripping courtroom battles, intricate investigations, and Mickey’s moral balancing act between justice and the law.

The show also stars Neve Campbell as Maggie McPherson, Mickey’s ex-wife and a dedicated prosecutor who still shares a strong connection with him and Becki Newton as Lorna Crane, Mickey’s loyal and resourceful legal assistant (who, er, is also his second ex-wife), who keeps his practice running smoothly.

Then there’s Angus Sampson as Cisco, Mickey’s investigator and Lorna’s husband, a former biker with a complicated past and Jazz Raycole as Izzy Letts, Mickey’s former client turned driver (who these days has worked in the legal practice and opened her own dance studio), who plays a key role in helping him rebuild his life.

The character of Mickey, while fictional, was inspired by two real-life lawyers: the late David Ogden, who was known for working out of his Lincoln, and Florida-based attorney Dan Daly.

Where will the story go for Season 4?

In the Season 3 finale, investigator Bishop (Holt McCallany) took the stand and revealed that DEA Agent DeMarco (Michael Irby) killed Gloria Dayton (Fiona Rene); she’d planted a gun in drug trafficker Hector Moya’s (Arturo Del Puerto) room on his orders and had been subpoenaed.

After his testimony, Bishop shocked everyone in the courtroom by revealing he had another gun (the judge had the bailiff take his primary weapon) and shooting himself, dying by suicide. Mickey’s client Julian La Cosse (Devon Graye) was free.

Then, as the season concluded, Mickey was looking forward to a vacation when he was pulled over for a missing license plate –– and during the stop, the police officer found the body of another client, Sam Scales (Christopher Thornton) in the trunk… Cue a cliffhanger and Mickey facing murder charges.

Here’s showrunner co-showrunner Ted Humphrey talking to TV Insider about the twist:

“We just thought, ‘What could top this?’ Well, what tops it is obviously Mickey is now the client, the jeopardy that his clients have been in up until now, now he’s in, and it’s truly the toughest case of all. And if you think back over the course of three seasons, what is the mantra that his father taught him and that Legal Siegel [Elliott Gould] has reminded him of? There’s no worse client than an innocent man. Well, what happens when you’re that innocent man and how do you handle that? And how do you deal with the fact that traditionally a lawyer who represents himself is a fool for a client? So we’ll see.”

That all sets up the fourth season, which will adapt 2020 tome “The Law of Innocence.” Sadly, while it features fellow Connelly character (and Mickey’s half-brother) Harry Bosch –– who has been played on screen for years by Titus Welliver –– the fact that Bosch is on Prime Video and Mickey is on Netflix mean they can’t share the screen. Objection, your honor!

Smulders joins some previously announced guest cast members. Constance Zimmer will play Dana Berg, also known as “Death Row Dana,” a ruthless prosecutor and a colleague of Maggie’s from her days in the L.A. district attorney’s office.

Zimmer will be on the show for a 10-episode arc, while Sasha Alexander plays the no-nonsense and intimidating FBI Agent Dawn Ruth.

Kyle Richards will appear as Celeste Baker, a Beverly Hills woman looking for a divorce lawyer, while Scott Lawrence will play former prosecutor Judge Stone. Other stars confirmed to appear are Jason Butler Harner, Emmanuelle Chriqui, Jason O’Mara and Javon Johnson, while celebrity chef Nancy Silverton will also make a cameo as herself.

As mentioned, Smulders is still most recognizable for the roles of Robin Scherbatsky on ‘How I Met Your Mother’ (she was one of the main cast members for the series’ entire nine-season run) and S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Maria Hill on a variety of MCU movies following her debut in ‘The Avengers.’

Beyond that, she has appeared in movies including ‘Jack Reacher: Never Go Back,’ ‘The Lego Movie’ (as the voice of Wonder Woman) and ‘Safe Haven.’

Her TV credits include ‘Stumptown,’ ‘Impeachment: American Crime Story’ and ‘Arrested Development,’ plus previous Netflix series ‘A Series of Unfortunate Events’ and ‘Friends From College.’

Upcoming, she has ‘Easy’s Waltz’ opposite Vince Vaughn and Al Pacino and, having popped in a couple of Season 2 episodes, will recur on the next season of ‘Shrinking.’

When is ‘The Lincoln Lawyer’ Season 4 due on screens?

Netflix has yet to confirm when the fourth season will land on our TV screens, but with filming set to be finished next month, there’s a chance it’ll be ready to fill a similar October spot as the most recent season.

Still, we may yet end up having to wait until 2026 –– which will be tough, given the cliffhanger that closed out the third season…

Movie Review: ‘Halloween Ends’

(L to R) Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie Strode, and Andi Matichak as Allyson Nelson in director David Gordon Green’s ‘Halloween Ends.’

Opening in theaters and streaming on Peacock beginning October 14th, ‘Halloween Ends’ represents David Gordon Green’s stab at closing out the trilogy he began with 2018’s ‘Halloween’.

You may recall that Green sought to up the mayhem levels in his last outing, 2021’s ‘Halloween Kills’. That film saw mob violence overtake the town of Haddonfield Illinois and largely sidelined Jamie Lee Curtis’ Laurie, hospitalized after her latest brutal encounter with Michael Myers (played by both James Jude Courtney and Nick Castle).

While it was a big swing in terms of the mythology, it didn’t quite work, coming across as unfocused and chaotic, and robbing the movie of its personal vengeance connection. It tried to balance that out by (spoiler alert for anyone who hasn’t seen the movie) killing off Laurie’s daughter Karen, played by Judy Greer.

‘Ends’ moves the story on four years, as Haddonfield has enjoyed a time of relative calm after the disappearance of Michael Myers. Though the vibrating hum of tension is always present as an undercurrent, Laurie has done her best to move on with life.

Andi Matichak as Allyson in ‘Halloween Ends,’ co-written, produced and directed by David Gordon Green.

She’s living without a complicated security system, writing about her experiences and the nature of evil and trying to guide granddaughter Allyson (Andi Matichak), who is still suffering the psychological scars of her parents’ loss and trying to move on by working as a nurse at the local hospital.

But even as everyone looks to cope and heal, the town is set back on edge when Corey Cunningham (Rohan Campbell) accidentally kills the boy he’s babysitting. Though it’s a tragic mistake, the repercussions are devastating, turning Corey into an unwitting bogeyman and the target of bullies.

And when he makes an unexpected connection with Allyson, their traumatic histories drawing them together, things become even more complicated, forcing Laurie to act.

Of course, by this point, you’re probably wondering how Michael Myers factors into all this – but we’ll not reveal that for the sake of keeping the movie’s secrets.

(L to R) Jamie Lee Curtis and director David Gordon Green on the set of ‘Halloween Ends.’

Suffice to say, this once again represents Green, plus co-writers Danny McBride, Chris Bernier and Paul Brad Logan, still trying new ideas within the existing ‘Halloween’ mythology. But as with ‘Kills’, the results are severely mixed.

Curtis is thankfully handed more to do as Laurie this time, and of course she’s still fantastic as the haunted heroine we’ve come to know and worry about. Switching up her attitude once more works for the character, as she tries to put the past behind her and concentrate instead on a future for her and her family.

But of course, she can never quite put Michael Myers out of her mind, given all the pain and suffering she’s endured at his hands (and knives).

The emphasis, though, is less on her than it is on Matichak and Campbell. And while they try to make the unexpected partnership work, there’s often the creeping feeling that you’re watching people act a certain way because the movie demands they do, not out of logic. Certain actions you can understand, but as the narrative goes to more extreme ends, it becomes less easy to comprehend.

(L to R) Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie Strode, and Rohan Campbell as Corey Cunningham in director David Gordon Green’s ‘Halloween Ends.’

Campbell’s Corey is at least an interesting addition to the story, a young man pushed to extraordinary behavior by guilt, grief and the local community’s reaction to him. He’s got a haranguing mother and an indulgent quiet-spoken father, so there are added layers to how he’s gotten to this point and what happens when he decides he’s been pushed too far.

As for others in Haddonfield, there are brief, human moments for Kyle Richards’ Lindsey and particularly Will Patton’s Hawkins, who fosters his tentative feelings for Laurie. But while the story is fortunately trying to juggle far fewer balls this time, there’s still the feeling of not quite hitting all its targets.

On a subtextual level, there are attempts here to reflect on the effects of trauma and the continuing injuries that no one can see or comprehend. And in slightly clunky voice-over as she continues writing, Laurie muses on the nature of evil.

For those after a slasher movie – because, after all, isn’t that what we really want from a ‘Halloween’ installment? – there could be some disappointment, at least until the slaying starts. But while it was Laurie in the background in ‘Kills’, here it’s her nemesis, which can be disappointing (again, we won’t go into details).

Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie Strode in director David Gordon Green’s ‘Halloween Ends.’

Musically, ‘Ends’ is of course up to the task, with franchise founder John Carpenter once more providing the score, all electronic terror and creeping notes.

As shot by Michael Simmonds, who was cinematographer for both ‘Halloween’ and ‘Halloween Kills’, Haddonfield here is at least authentic looking (albeit with suburban Illinois played by Georgia and Utah) and there are some fantastic visual moments.

Green has also not lost his talent for building tension. There’s less of it here than in the previous two movies, but he and his team are adroit at designing sequences that quicken the pulse. Yes, there are the usual fake-outs and jump scares, but Green doesn’t lean on them.

Without going into specifics, ‘Ends’ truly does aim to wrap a bow on at least Green’s take on the franchise but pushed to slightly ridiculous levels. The result is a movie that succeeds more than ‘Kills’ but never lives up to the promise of the director’s first film featuring Laurie vs. Michael.

‘Halloween’ as a franchise never truly ends (no matter how many times Michael has died – or appeared to), but this particular conclusion is never as satisfying as it might have been, and that’s a shame.

‘Halloween Ends’ receives 2.5 out of 5 stars.

‘Halloween Ends’ Interviews: Andi Matichak and Rohan Campbell

rtQrcJfu
Opening in theaters on October 14th is ‘Halloween Ends,’ which is the thirteenth film in the ‘Halloween’ franchise and the final movie in the “H40” trilogy that began with 2018’s ‘Halloween’ and continued with 2021’s ‘Halloween Kills.’

Once again directed by David Gordon Green (‘Pineapple Express’) and co-written by Danny McBride (‘Tropic Thunder’), ‘Halloween Ends’ stars Jamie Lee Curtis reprising her iconic role as Laurie Strode.

Set four years after the events of ‘Halloween Kills’ and Michael Myers last rampage, the new movie finds Laurie living a quiet life with her granddaughter Allyson (Andi Matichak). But when Corey Cunningham (Rohan Campbell) is accused of killing a boy he was babysitting, it will force Laurie to finally confront the evil she can’t control, once and for all.

In addition to Curtis, Matichak, and Campbell, the cast also includes Will Patton, Kyle Richards, and James Jude Courtney and Nick Castle, who together portray Michael Myers.

Moviefone recently had the pleasure of speaking to Andi Matichak and Rohan Campbell about their work on ‘Halloween Ends,’ their characters, the plot, and working with director David Gordon Green.

(L to R) Rohan Campbell and Andi Matichak star in ‘Halloween Ends,’ co-written, produced and directed by David Gordon Green.

You can read the full interview below of click on the video player above to watch our interviews with Matichak, Campbell, and Kyle Richards.

Moviefone: To begin with, Andi, Allyson went through a lot in ‘Halloween Kills.’ What is she doing when we catch up with her at the beginning of ‘Halloween Ends?’

Andi Matichak: What is really wonderful is that there is that four-year time jump. So, we had a lot of attention to detail and a lot of care went into figuring out what happened and where she goes on that journey in that four-year period that as an audience you do not see. When you meet Allyson in this new version, she’s seemingly quite okay.

She is trying to live a pretty normal life and holds a job and just has this kind of stoic facade. The thing about trauma and the thing about pain and tragedy is it kind of lives within you. Even if you’ve done the work, done the healing and moved on in the best way you can, it still is right under the surface. As new characters emerge and new relationships blossom, it’s kind of tested and you start to get a peek underneath, which is really a fun exploration of character.

MF: Rohan, what does it mean to you to be a part of this movie and join the ‘Halloween’ franchise?

Rohan Campbell: It’s crazy. It’s just incredible. I mean, obviously I’m a massive fan of John Carpenter’s ‘Halloween.’ It was one of the first horror movies I ever watched. It’s a crazy thing because the opportunity comes and you’re so excited. I was so amped.

Then you show up on set and you’re actually making a ‘Halloween’ movie and you freak out. You’re like, “What am I doing here? This is crazy!” It’s just an honor. I’m so grateful and it’s just been the most special experience of my life so far.

(L to R) Director David Gordon Green, Andi Matichak and Kyle Richards on the set of ‘Halloween Ends.’

MF: Andi, what was it like for you to reunite with director David Gordon Green after making the last two ‘Halloween’ movies with him?

AM: He is an incredible filmmaker. This to me is really David Gordon Green’s stamp on the franchise. This is him personified in a movie and albeit a ‘Halloween’ movie. It is an incredible film. I have a deep appreciation for it, largely because I do feel like it’s so close to David’s heart. He’s such a blast to work with.

MF: Finally, Rohan, what was your experience like working with David Gordon Green on this project?

RC: I think when I first watched the film, I had an experience where the movie’s end credits are rolling, and I said, “I don’t think I’ve ever experienced a movie with a tone like this.” I realized it’s just the purest part of David coming out in cinema. It’s such a wild ride and I can’t wait for people to watch it.

New ‘Halloween Ends’ Trailer

rNbrCsWD
How exactly do you go about ending a run of films where the villain has a notorious habit of always coming back? That’s the challenged faced by director David Gordon Green, who gave the ‘Halloween’ horror franchise a jolt back in 2018 with his first entry (which directly followed the events of the original and largely ignored most of the other sequels) and is here wrapping up his own run on the movies.

Jamie Lee Curtis is back once again as Laurie Strode, one of the few survivors of Michael Myers’ original October slaughter rampage, who has since turned herself into a lean, mean fighting machine, ready to put an end to him once and for all.

To be honest, we’ve heard that before – no matter how many times someone (even Laurie) thinks they have put an end to Michael, he always seems to return, ready to pick up whatever is around and start slashing people.

This latest movie is being billed as Laurie’s last stand, as she faces off for the last time against the embodiment of evil in a final confrontation unlike any captured on-screen before. Only one of them will survive.

Four years after the events of last year’s ‘Halloween Kills’, Laurie is living with her granddaughter Allyson (Andi Matichak) and is finishing writing her memoir. Michael Myers hasn’t been seen since. Laurie, after allowing the specter of Michael to determine and drive her reality for decades, has decided to liberate herself from fear and rage and embrace life.

(L to R) Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie Strode, and Rohan Campbell as Corey Cunningham in director David Gordon Green’s ‘Halloween Ends.’

But when a young man, Corey Cunningham (Rohan Campbell), is accused of killing a boy he was babysitting, it ignites a cascade of violence and terror that will force Laurie to finally confront the evil she can’t control, once and for all.

And from the sounds of it, both Green (who is already moving on to an ‘Exorcist’ movie) and Curtis are ready to hang up their respective director’s chairs and knives. “I speak with John (Carpenter, godfather of the whole movie series) and Jamie Lee Curtis regularly about it,” Green told Empire magazine recently. “It’s exciting, uncertain, satisfying and sad. I’ve enjoyed the ride but it’s probably time to get off. I think we’re gonna go out with a bang.”

But while there will – of course – be blood, don’t expect quite such a huge conflict as the Haddonfield-engulfing drama of the previous movie. “If our second film was free-for-all, violent chaos, this is a more intimate, atmospheric conclusion,” says Green.

As well as directing, Green wrote this one with regular collaborators director Paul Brad Logan, Chris Bernier and Danny McBride.

The movie also features the likes of returning cast Will Patton as Officer Frank Hawkins, Kyle Richards as Lindsey Wallace and James Jude Courtney as The Shape/Michael Myers.

‘Halloween Ends’ will be in theaters and streaming via Peacock on October 14th.

First Trailer For ‘Halloween Ends’

How many times can Michael Myers truly come back to terrorize the residents of Haddonfield?

If the ‘Halloween’ franchise is anything to go by, the answer to that is, “as long as people show up to watch the movies.” And the latest entry is on the way this fall, so the first trailer for ‘Halloween Ends’ has now stalked online.

Director David Gordon Green, who gave the horror franchise a jolt back in 2018 with his first ‘Halloween’ (which directly followed the events of the original and largely ignored most of the other sequels), is here wrapping up his own run on the movies.

Jamie Lee Curtis is back once again as Laurie Strode, one of the few survivors of Michael Myers’ original October slaughter rampage, who has since turned herself into a lean, mean fighting machine, ready to put an end to him once and for all.

You knew it wasn’t going to be that easy, right? Laurie’s spent decades being worried that Michael would return, even when everyone else was convinced he was gone for good. Of course, he wasn’t, and the end of ‘Halloween Kills’ hinted that he’d once more be wandering the suburb killing people.

Green now faces the true challenge of putting a capper on the whole story – even if someone picks up the baton in the future.

‘Halloween Ends’ co-stars returning cast Will Patton as Officer Frank Hawkins, Kyle Richards as Lindsey Wallace and James Jude Courtney as The Shape/Michael Myers.

As well as directing the movie, Green also co-wrote it with regular collaborators Paul Brad Logan, Chris Bernier and Danny McBride.

‘Halloween Ends’ will be in theaters on October 14th, just in time for… is it Christmas? No, wait, another holiday that slips our mind right now.
