Toying with love

ALL TO PLAY FOR Channing Tatum and Kirsten Dunst

- 

CAREER-BEST performance from Channing Tatum, as a real-life escaped convict who successfully evaded police for months by living inside a branch of Toys R Us in Charlotte, North Carolina, invigorates writer-director Derek Cianfrance's offbeat crime caper.

Co-written by Kirt Gunn, Roofman applies a feelgood gloss to the true story of former United States Army Reserve officer Jeffrey Manchester, who gained his nickname by drilling through roofs of branches of McDonald's at night so he could wait inside until morning and surprise staff to steal the takings.
