Overview

• The Playlist’s Toronto review calls Derek Cianfrance’s Roofman engaging in stretches yet ultimately too cautious.
• Channing Tatum’s turn as Jeffrey Manchester is praised for charisma that the review argues keeps the story at a surface level.
• The film recounts roof-entry heists, a prison escape and a clandestine stretch inside a Toys “R” Us without probing root causes.
• The critique contends the movie’s buoyant tone blunts its moral examination and leans on familiar carceral assumptions.
• Kirsten Dunst and Lily Collias are cited as underused in supporting parts.
