There's always a question mark when a film suggests it was 'inspired by true events' as to which parts were actually true. Then there's a film and story such as Derek Cianfrance's 'Roofman' in which the true story sounds more like the work of fiction... It's surreal, but most definitely true.

Following the story of Jeffrey Manchester, aka Roofman, a chap who robbed 46 stores, escaped prison, and then hid in a Toys R Us, is one that you wouldn't expect to carry as much emotional weight to it. But down to terrific storytelling and performances from leads Channing Tatum and Kirsten Dunst, it is easily one of the best films of the year due to that emotion, as well as relatability, that the film holds.

It's a surprise hit, and one that does have a lot of fun in there. It explores the desperation and desire that one man has to provide for his family - and it leaves its mark on you once the credits roll.
