Overview
A former Army Ranger and struggling father turns to robbing McDonald’s restaurants by cutting holes in their roofs, earning him the nickname "Roofman." After escaping prison, he secretly lives inside a Toys “R” Us for six months, surviving undetected while planning his next move. But when he falls for a divorced mom drawn to his undeniable charm, his double life begins to unravel, setting off a compelling and suspenseful game of cat and mouse as his past closes in.
Given the subject matter (a true story about a guy running from the law who lives in the ceiling of a box store), the movie is surprisingly enjoyable. Kirsten Dunst is great in everything, but I was really impressed by Tatum.
