Roofman is another film that made its debut at the Toronto Film Festival this weekend, and the Festival Brain of it all is looking pretty positive. Channing Tatum is one of those actors who, once he slips into the right role, can be absolutely brilliant, but people keep typecasting him as a pretty dumb dudes and nothing else. As explained in this new behind-the-scenes featurette, the real-life person that Tatum is portraying is incredibly intelligent, even as he keeps making a bunch of terrible choices. It's also another one of those stories that seems way too buckwild to be real, but life, as it tends to be, is stranger than fiction.
