"Roofman" 🎥 Good movie 👍 based on a true story but not what I expected

I thought it was about survival but it’s about a series of robberies in the Charlotte NC area from 1998-2000. There are real life pics, interviews, and local news coverage during the credits.

Another Channing Tatum “small” film like Logan Lucky which I highly recommend with a big cast and a good story. It is weird how in Roofman his actual family is forgotten.

...it turned into a sappy love story. I'd rate it below average for a movie and sut below average for a Hallmark Channel style movie.
