Trucker Trailer Online

A new film that made the circuit on the Tribeca Film festival and will soon see a release. Michelle Monaghan stars in Trucker.

The film stars Michelle Monaghan, Nathan Fillion, Benjamin Bratt, Jimmy Bennett and Joey Lauren Adams and follows the story of a brash woman making a living as a trucker, who’s son gets dropped in her lap after she left her husband and him a decade earlier.

There is a level of appeal here for me as often the “discarded kid” finds a relationship with an estranged parent, and it is the KID who is resisting the parent who is eager to get to know their child. This is a nice play on that.

Monaghan’s character is flawed. Very flawed. And to see a reunion play out like this looks interesting.

My father was a long haul truck driver right up until my early teens, and while we already had a good relationship, I can relate to the experience of going on long hauls with him. He would take me with him on trips and spending days together in the cab of his truck was a bonding experience. One this character will be forced to endure and grow from.

  1. Looks like it’s going to be a decent movie, albeit somewhat predictable. Still, it’s good to see good actors play parts where they can stretch and show their range. I’d like to see more of Michelle in movies (Bratt and Fillion are great actors too)!

    Any idea on release date, Rodney?
