Prime Video's newest No. 1 movie is an underrated Channing Tatum crime-comedy — and it's based on an unbelievable true story

Jeffrey Manchester (Channing Tatum) peers around a Toys 'R' Us shelf in a scene from "Roofman".

One of the big joys of paying such close attention to what's going on on Prime Video, Netflix, and all the best streaming services is getting to sing the praises of a new arrival that you think deserves more love, and I'm about to do exactly that for a 2025 comedy-drama that I think unfairly flew under the radar for most viewers.

Unless you keep a close eye on what's broken into Prime Video's top 10 movies list, you might have missed that Amazon's streamer just added Derek Cianfrance's based-on-a-true-story crime comedy, "Roofman." Despite landing solid reviews, it didn't make a huge splash at the box office, and I feel like would-be viewers may have overlooked it. If my hunch is true, moviegoers have missed out on a real treat.
