The film:

  • Career Resurrection: Both this and Killer Joe firmly reestablished Matthew McConaughey as a serious leading man.
  • Fake Mixed Race: In the series, mixed Caucasian-Hispanic Mickey Haller is played by fully Mexican actor Manuel Garcia-Rulfo. The film has him played by fully (non-Hispanic) Caucasian Matthew McConaughey.

The series:

  • Exiled from Continuity: Harry Bosch makes no appearance in the series as Amazon holds the rights to the character, while Netflix produces The Lincoln Lawyer.
  • Fake Nationality: Manuel Garcia-Rulfo is Mexican by nationality, while playing American-born Mickey Haller. Though, unlike his very Americanized novel counterpart, the series' version of Haller spent most of his childhood in Mexico to explain his Hispanic upbringing.
