Roofman Ratings & Reviews
- Scott Sartain6d agoRealistic, respectful story. Everyone should be seen .
- Roger S Joseph JrJanuary 17, 2026WOW, not what I expected at all, Channing Tatum and Kirsten Dunst are Stellar in this film. the entire cast was SPOT ON. For a Based on real life film, this was worth the watch. The Human experience is not lost at all.
- NateJanuary 16, 2026A modern day Robin hood scenario with little sway from the truth. For a movie based on a true story this was actually on point.
- alihoneycuttJanuary 16, 2026A story about a halfwit crook who believes he can be normal and gets what's coming to him. Pretty predictable after halftime. Despite a good performance by Tatum, I never felt for him or gave him the benefit of the doubt. Not all true stories are made for the silver screen. Making this film was a mistake. IMO, the movie failed because of a bad premise (despite being a true story). Hollywood is cynical enough that they believe charm can make us empathize with a knucklehead like this. Yeah, it doesn't.

- dillon.c5January 8, 2026The guy stinks & they made a whole movie about it, & for some reason tried to make him likeable too! They go way over the top with every family scene trying to show how nice & loving the dude was. Armed robber & escaped convict who's ex wife wants nothing to do with him starts manipulating a lonely church mom who works at the store he's squatting at. A real tear-jerker.
- RipLinesManNovember 11, 2025Roofman treats identity the way Event Horizon (1997) treats space, as a corridor to the pit disguised as a safe passage, and Derek Cianfrance frames the toy store’s crawlspaces like warm steel hallways where nostalgia hides an engine room of bad decisions. Channing Tatum’s Jeffrey Manchester slips through the ducts like a fugitive Weir, in love with the red glow of reinvention, while Kirsten Dunst’s Leigh Wainscott keeps the Miller line of procedure and mercy, trying to seal the airlocks as temptation hums. Ben Mendelsohn’s Ron Smith and Peter Dinklage’s Mitch circle like salvage crews sniffing profit, LaKeith Stanfield’s Steve reads instruments others ignore, and Juno Temple’s Michelle hears the whisper of a future that may not survive the burn. Paul W. S. Anderson’s Event Horizon is a masterpiece of moral geometry, and Cianfrance borrows its duel between protocol and rapture, letting each favor and lie tick like engine alarms until romance and capture become the same door, the one you open only to learn how far the ship can fall.
- Mr WalkerJanuary 7, 2026An unexpected surprise from the Writer/Director of A PLACE BEYOND THE PINES & BLUE VALENTINE. A warm but bittersweet true crime story that takes a throttled back version of the RAISING ARIZONA type approach to its empathic telling. Channing Tatum continues to prove one of cinemas most likable stars riffing on his LOGAN LUCKY good natured charm again here. The part is clearly tailored to his strengths, as is the always welcome Kristen Dunst. The camera is always in the thick of things and a static shot along the underbelly of a truck in full motion is just one the scenes where we live a moment. I was dubious approaching this one but was proved delightfully wrong with one of 2025's most unassuming tales of the unlawful heart.
- Jean SeanJanuary 7, 2026Great heartfelt film with a good message. Channing Tatum never disappoints in drama roles and Kirsten Dunst is as delightful as ever. I really enjoyed it and have recommended it to a few friends.
- Roderick Vaughn BridgesJanuary 7, 2026While having a little bit of Comedy crime and drama, it's really a love story. It is based on true events. It's definitely a watch. But it is a little slow at times.
- assassin007January 4, 2026This was a great film that followed the true story very well.
- Drake IrwinJanuary 1, 2026Great movie, recommended
- apie89December 31, 2025True story I hear ???
- Albert1764December 30, 2025Very dry and boring!! My wife normally loves Chris Pine movies but this one sucked!!
- tachiomaNovember 12, 2025Unexpected, decent movie. Like most, I expected silliness, but it was actually really heartfelt and very well acted. Did he do bad things, yes. We're they hurting anyone, no, not really. Should we do better to look after our veterans ... Of course.
