Synopsis

Based on an unbelievable true story, Roofman follows Jeffrey Manchester (Channing Tatum), a former Army Ranger and struggling father who turns to robbing McDonald’s restaurants by cutting holes in their roofs, earning him the nickname: Roofman.

Moviegoers are saying
This Channing Tatum-led true story has audiences deeply divided between those who find it an emotionally powerful tale of human frailty and those who struggle with its deliberate pacing. While most viewers praise the compelling story about a man's desperate attempts to evade police and the moral complexities it explores, some find the execution surprisingly slow for such an intense premise.

The laughs, the warmth, the love and the faith-based fellowship die out in the dismal final act.

It becomes easier in retrospect to admire the tricky tonal balance Cianfrance is going for throughout, resulting in a bumpy, ultimately successful melodrama.

Another, more textured film might have tried to paint him as more than just lovable rogue but Roofman is too focused on making us feel good rather than bad. I would have settled for conflicted.
