The movie is a shining star in the indie universe much like "Frozen River." It hits the nail on the head in dealing with real feelings and honest emotions.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 9, 2010

Who knew Michelle Monaghan could pull-off one of the most fearless and edgy female roles of the year? And do it so convincingly.

| Jan 7, 2010

Good characters and a strong start run out of gas by the end

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Dec 17, 2009

Unremarkable at best, remarkably bad at worst.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 1, 2009

The overall story serves as a metaphor for American life, where too many people spend a lot of time keeping busy without ever really enjoying the moment and without ever being truly alive.

| Original Score: B+ | Nov 24, 2009

Monaghan demonstrates an untapped level of talent and skill in Trucker, tackling the difficult role of a woman who refuses to behave as societal norms dictate and has paid the price with loneliness and alienation.

Trucker is a knockout.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 23, 2009

The whole thing plays with wobbly craft that, finally, creates a deep patina of suspicion and dullness.

Full Review | Original Score: C+ | Oct 23, 2009

The only thing to take away from this bumpy ride is the smooth performance by Monaghan.

| Original Score: C+ | Oct 23, 2009

Monaghan's good, despite being too pretty, and the film, with a melodramatic storyline that seems perfect for a Hallmark 온라인카지노추천 movie, is good, too.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 21, 2009

Features spectacular performances but these excellent actors are required to do too much heavy lifting with a script that plays out too predictably to be effective.

| Oct 21, 2009

You know exactly what is going to happen and you don't really care.

Full Review | Oct 19, 2009

Most of Trucker comes off like a sincere but totally artificial slice of life.

Full Review | Oct 19, 2009

There are so many wonderfully unconventional things to like about this tiny independent film, Monaghan's earthy and uncompromising performance chief among them, its depth surprising you at every turn.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 16, 2009

Monaghan, so good in Gone Baby Gone, mopes self-consciously through the role of Diane, a loner who finds her heart when she's thrown together with her estranged 11-year-old son (Jimmy Bennett), whom she takes on the road. Yes, it's one of those movies.

| Original Score: D | Oct 14, 2009

You want to like Trucker. You really do. But writer-director James Mottern makes it awfully hard with his washed-out, predictable aesthetic.

| Oct 14, 2009

A nostalgic rehashing of the days when movies didn't need to telegraph every last detail.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 9, 2009

With the sad state of the indie business Trucker may make a fast exit to Netflix, but thanks to Michelle Monaghan it's a trip worth taking wherever you may find it.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 9, 2009

Monaghan gets how people with honky-tonk souls move in mysterious ways.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 9, 2009

Michelle Monaghan delivers the goods.
