He didn't look like a legitimate lawyer but an overacting high school dropout. There's no way he could convince any audience he's capable of doing the job to be a defense lawyer for a capital murder case. I think he didn't study how to be a convincing lawyer who's seriously enough to take a life-and-death legal case. And he's so lazy not to learn and change his formulaic Texan accent. Serious actor always knows when and how to change his accent in different movies at different localities.
This movie also suffered so many flaws of bad screenplay, terrible dialog, miscast, poor directing and weak scenarios. What we saw in this movie were about half of the characters who looked just like a bunch of clowns, while the other half were deadly serious, and the biggest clown figure in this movie was the leading role played by Matthew McConaughey.
I've read this novel and liked it, but this movie was seemingly on purpose turning it into a completely different farce. This is the second time I tried to watch this movie, but again, I just couldn't finish it like last time. It's just too pretentious and pathetic to watch.
