Underrated Movie #183 ~ Trucker

Self-involved trucker Diane (Michelle Monaghan) contends with more than she thinks she wants to when her ex (Benjamin Bratt) is laid up in the hospital, forcing their 11-year-old son, Peter (Jimmy Bennett), to suddenly show up in her life — and need her. James Mottern writes and directs this unconventional take on motherhood, estrangement and family; Nathan Fillion and Joey Lauren Adams co-star. (Netflix) My Rating: 4.5 out of 5.
