The Lincoln Lawyer/YMMV

• Complete Monster: Roulet.
• Harsher in Hindsight:The defendant Roulet describes a homosexual couple who came to his accuser's rescue as "two faggots". Haller's investigator, Levin, clarifies that it was a homosexual couple who lived next door, to which Roulet vehemently replies, "Like I said, the faggot couple!" Levin mutters under his breath, "I stand corrected. The faggot couple." It is somewhat Played for Laughs, but later it is revealed that Levin is gay.
• What the Hell, Casting Agency?: In the book, Haller is half-Mexican and grew up in Los Angeles. Matthew Mc Counaghey isn't, and maintains his Texas accent. But beyond that, he nails the character perfectly.
