A serial robber with a heart of gold!
One might expect a heist film about an army veteran robbing 45 McDonald’s restaurants via their roofs, before escaping from prison and hiding out in a Toys “R” Us for six months to be the brainchild of an eccentric screenwriter with a wild imagination. Instead, Roofman’s unbelievable narrative is entirely authentic, brought to life by a brilliant performance from the ever-charismatic Channing Tatum.
It’s a different kind of film from dynamic director Derek Cianfrance, whose Best Picture-nominated previous film Sound Of Metal for its realistic portrayal of a drummer suddenly losing his hearing. All his films are emotionally resonant, and Roofman is no different, enriched by multilayered characters and strong performances across the board.
