Marcy Dermansky, About.com

Monaghan's good, despite being too pretty, and the film, with a melodramatic storyline that seems perfect for a Hallmark TV movie, is good, too. full review

A.O. Scott, At the Movies

You know exactly what is going to happen and you don't really care. full review

Pete Hammond, Back Stage

With the sad state of the indie business Trucker may make a fast exit to Netflix, but thanks to Michelle Monaghan it's a trip worth taking wherever you may find it. full review

Kurt Loder, MTV

Monaghan conveys the character's boxed-in emotional conflicts through a flickering wariness and constricted body language. Diane seems hopeless, but the actress keeps us holding onto hope for her anyway. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
