Oscar-nominated writer/director Derek Cianfrance (Blue Valentine, I Know This Much Is True, Sound of Metal) returns with a fun crime comedy which tells the story of true-life fugitive Jefferey Manchester starring Channing Tatum, Kirsten Dunst, and Peter Dinklage.
Jeffrey “Roofman” Manchester, an ex-Army non-com, earned his notorious nickname by burgling a series of McDonald’s burger joints via the restaurants’ roofs in order to keep his failing family life from falling apart completely. Even though he was caught and sentenced to prison, Roofman escapes his incarceration, evades authorities, and takes up a six-month residence within the walls of an abandoned Circuit City department store which also gives him access to an adjacent Toys “R” Us. Things go well for Roofman for a while, that is until he meets a beautiful divorcee (Kirsten Dunst), lets his guard down, and finds himself in the crosshairs of the cops and a past full of bad decisions.
