What makes Roofman so compelling is its delicate balance of tones. Channing Tatum shines in Derek Cianfrance’s Roofman, a true-crime tale that’s hilarious, heartfelt, and unexpectedly human. Tatum’s performance would be enough to carry the film, but the direction ensures Roofman never settles into just one register. Overall, Derek Cianfrance has crafted a film that’s absurdly funny yet profoundly moving, and Channing Tatum has given a career-best performance to match. Against all odds, Roofman makes you laugh, makes you ache, and — most surprisingly — makes you care.
