Writer-director Guy Ritchie's street-tough look at London's decrepit underworld
and the unsavory dealings of four best friends whose cockiness is undercut by
some serious trouble features a soundtrack of quick dialogue sound clips, a
smattering of classic rock, pop, and reggae, and a few current submissions as
well. Junior Murvin's "Police and Thieves," known most to rock audiences by the Clash cover, is a great
piece of political resistance and laidback dub groove. James Brown's "The Payback"
and "The Boss" and Iggy and The Stooges "I Wanna Be Your Dog" stake out the sharp end, while the late Dusty Springfield paints
the softer corner with "Spooky." Ocean Colour Scene delivers
the backwards guitar driven "100 Mile High City," and Stretch's "Why Did You Do
It?" is a great recreation of early '70s soul.
Tracklist: 1. Hundred Mile High City - Ocean Colour Scene
Mickey Haller (Matthew McConaughey) is a Los Angeles criminal defense attorney
who operates out of the back of his Lincoln Continental sedan. Haller has spent
most of his career defending garden-variety criminals, until he lands the case
of a lifetime: defending a Beverly Hills playboy accused of murder. But the
seemingly straightforward case suddenly develops into a deadly game of survival
for Haller. The soundtrack relies heavily on modern hip/hop, rap, pop, and soul. Opening up with Bobby "Blue" Bland’s smooth and soulful 1974 hit "Ain't No Love in the Heart of the City” and closing with '60s jazz singer Marlena Shaw’s “California Soul,” the latter of which is given a 21st century update by West Coast gangsta rapper Ya Boy, The Lincoln Lawyer offers up a solid mix of old and new school, with a little Pacific Ocean-kissed modern rock thrown in for good measure.
