“Based on a true story” movies: some love them, some hate them. In recent years, these movies have become more cookie-cutter and cliché leading some people to lose interest in the entire concept. Then comes the subject of today’s review, ‘Roofman’, a movie that proves not all “based on a true story” concepts are created equal.

This one focuses on a fugitive who makes his living robbing fast food restaurants and lives within a Toys ‘R’ Us. With a critically acclaimed director Derek Cianfrance at the helm and a cast that includes Channing Tatum, Kirsten Dunst, Lakeith Stanfield, and others, there are plenty of reasons to view this movie with optimism. In our spoiler-free Roofman review, we’ll let you know if that optimism is valid or misplaced.
