A film by James Mottern
R, 93min

“There are so many wonderfully unconventional things to like about this independent film… haunting… Mottern has given us a rare thing, a blue-collar woman with the grit and righteous strength of a Clint Eastwood character. Monaghan has given her heart.” – Los Angeles Times

“'Trucker” is a wonderful new movie, with a career-changing performance by Michelle Monaghan.  4 Stars. Her performance clearly deserves an Oscar nomination.” – Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
