James Mottern, 2009
plot synopsis: A truck driver looks to turn her carefree life around after she takes in her estranged 11-year-old son.
While James Mottern’s Trucker does (more-or-less) fulfill the promise of the hype for Michelle Monaghan’s performance (she can act, and I have a feeling will get better, juicier roles in the future) and feature one of the best supporting performances of the year in Nathan Fillion, the script is too mediocre and riddled with cliches to recommend this for anything other than those performances. Really wanted to punch that kid after awhile.
