20 Underrated Recent Movies You Might Have Missed

20. Roofman

In a just world, Channing Tatum and Kirsten Dunst would've both courted serious awards buzz for their performances in Roofman - a terrifically crafted dramedy based on the life of Jeffrey Manchester, a criminal who hid in a toy store while on the run from the police.

But it's not a just world, and so Roofman barely made a dent on the awards circuit, its only notable accolade being an Independent Spirit Award nod for Dunst.

Between that and its middling box office performance, it'd be easy to assume that Cianfrance's film fell way short of the mark, but that's just not true.

It's perhaps more a case of the film being tough to categorise - and definitely tough to market - given how nimbly it pinballs between comedy and sobering drama, yet never in a way that feels tonally jarring.

Tatum has proven himself to be a genuine acting heavyweight with the right material, while Dunst is as reliably brilliant as ever, in a film that's stupendously enjoyable while offering up some thoughtful observations on life in modern America.
