Channing Tatum is consistently surprising fans with his movie choices. From his villainous turn in Zoë Kravitz’s directorial debut, Blink Twice, to portraying Gambit in Deadpool and Wolverine and a strict launch director in Fly Me to the Moon, the actor has been producing diverse roles. Now, his most recent film, Roofman, a high-octane heist feature, has taken fans by storm.

Roofman is the number one movie on Paramount+’s top 10 domestic charts, per FlixPatrol. The movie made its streaming debut earlier this month after underperforming at the box office. Nonetheless, by consistently dominating the streaming top 10 charts, the crime film has certainly redeemed itself. Directed by Derek Cianfrance, the 87% Rotten Tomatoes-rated movie made only $33.5 million at the box office on a $19 million budget.

Based on real-life events, the movie follows former soldier and professional thief Jeffrey Manchester (Tatum), who finds a hideout inside a Toys “R” Us after escaping from prison. His double life starts to unravel when he falls for a divorced mom, setting off a compelling and suspenseful game of cat-and-mouse as his past catches up. The film also stars Kirsten Dunst, LaKeith Stanfield, Juno Temple, and Peter Dinklage. Further, Ben Mendelsohn, Melonie Diaz, Uzo Aduba, Lily Collias, and Jimmy O. Yang appear in supporting roles.

Is ‘Roofman’ Worth Your Time?

While it did not lure the crowd to the theaters, Roofman is a good watch as seen in its successful streaming run. It’s worth watching if you enjoy Tatum’s performances or the crime-heist genre. Collider’s Tania Hussain outlines in her review:

“With a more wholesome vibe that feels like a tender homage to ‘80s and ‘90s classics, Roofman captures humanity in its rawest, most tangled form for a heartbreaking drama that stands refreshingly on its own. But at the heart of it all is Channing Tatum, who disappears into the titular role by stripping away that glossy movie-star sheen we’ve all come to know him for to reveal something messier and achingly human. It’s the kind of role we’ve been waiting to see him in, and he doesn’t waste a single frame across the film’s 126 minutes.”

Tatum has a surefire hit with his next appearance in Avengers: Doomsday. He’ll be returning as Gambit from Deadpool & Wolverine as part of the X-Men line-up featured in the Robert Downey Jr.-led film. The marketing has rolled out with trailers running ahead of Avatar: Fire and Ash, and sadly, leaking on the internet.

Check out Roofman on Paramount+ and stay tuned to Collider for more such updates.
