Overview

A former Army Ranger and struggling father turns to robbing McDonald’s restaurants by cutting holes in their roofs, earning him the nickname 'Roofman'. After escaping prison, he secretly lives inside a Toys “R” Us for six months, surviving undetected while planning his next move. But when he falls for a divorced mom drawn to his undeniable charm, his double life begins to unravel, setting off a compelling and suspenseful game of cat and mouse as his past closes in.

Review

This is a weird little indie film with a fantastic cast that seems like it exists to paint this criminal in a favorable light. The credits even has a mini documentary interviewing the real life people behind the characters. The film was a little dull and the whole thing came across as strange. ⭐️⭐️
