CRIME comedy Roofman is out now in theatres.

Staring Channing Tatum, the movie tells the real life story of former-army-solider-turned-robber Jeffery Manchester, who hid in a toy store for six months, adopting a new identity.

However, his double life begins to unravel once he becomes involved with co-worker and single mother Leigh Wainscott (Kirsten Dunst).

“Jeff is (currently) in a maximum security prison, and I’ve spoken with him for more than 400 hours over four-and-a-half years,” director Derek Cianfrance said in an interview.


“I shot the movie in Charlotte (USA), so I could be in the spots where it happened. The key to movies is suspension of disbelief, and so I needed to suspend my own disbelief in order to make this movie because it was so wild,” he added.
