Title: Trucker (2008)Starring: Michelle Monaghan, Jimmy Bennett, Nathan Fillion
Directed By: James Mottern
This is the story of a loner female truck driver having to take care of her estranged 11-year-old son for the first time in ten years. Michelle Monaghan's performance alone merits a view or two of this indie drama, but for me Nathan Fillion stole the show. He tends to excel at "everyman" roles, and here he almost hops off the screen and hands you a cold one. I really enjoyed getting to know these characters, especially how their relationships effect their dynamics with one another. The strong performances all around helped to really flesh out what easily could have been melodramatic schlock.
Highly recommended.
Score: 8.5/10
