Center
Primary
The film explores the moral ambiguities and individual challenges within the legal system, focusing on an attorney's personal quest for justice against specific corrupt actors rather than advocating for broad ideological or systemic change.
The movie features some visible diversity in its supporting cast, but its primary roles are predominantly traditional. The narrative focuses on a legal thriller without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or centering DEI themes.
Secondary
The protagonist, Mickey Haller, is explicitly half-Mexican in the source novels but is portrayed by a white actor. Additionally, the character Earl Briggs, who is white in the novels, is portrayed by a Black actor. These are clear instances of race swaps.
The film "The Lincoln Lawyer" does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses exclusively on a legal thriller plot without incorporating any elements related to queer identity, resulting in an N/A rating for LGBTQ+ portrayal.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The 2011 film adaptation of Michael Connelly's novel maintains the established genders of all its significant characters from the source material. No characters who were canonically male or female were portrayed as a different gender on screen.
