Critic Reviews
Trucker sets out on a difficult and tricky path, and doesn't put a foot wrong.Read the full review
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.Read the full review
Although Trucker doesn't have the social import that made "Norma Rae" a hit, it's an affecting, small film that could catch on with sophisticated audiences as well as more down-home types.Read the full review

What Drives Nathan Fillion
10/14/09 Fillion had a pivotal role as a serial-killing priest in the final episodes of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," captained both the ship and ensemble cast of space western "Firefly" (and its spin-off feature "Serenity"), and goofily played Neil Patrick Harris' superhero nemesis in Whedon's web musical "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog." Fillion currently co-stars in writer-director James Mottern's terrific desert drama "Trucker," starring Michelle Monaghan in a career-launching performance as Diane Ford, a free-spirited (okay, promiscuous) big-rig driver who's forced to watch over the 11-year-old son she all but abandoned to her ex. | Independent Film Channel (IFC) -
