Never did I think that the lone Toys R Us by the Pineville Mall would get its time to shine but thanks to Roofman, my beloved Charlotte was displayed in all its glory. The Derek Cianfrance film tells the true story of Jeffrey Manchester, a thief known as the “Roofman.”
Jeffrey (Channing Tatum) is a former Army Reserve soldier who was suspected of stealing from McDonald’s in the surrounding Charlotte, North Carolina area. In Cianfrance’s film, we get to see the kind of family man Manchester is. He starts to steal because he wants to make a better life for his daughter and sons but makes bad decisions to get there.
