JACKDAW is an unrelenting action thriller set over the course of a single night against the backdrop of North East England, an area where breathtaking coastal landscapes meet the brutality of industry. Jack Dawson, a former motocross champion and army veteran, returns to his hometown to care for his brother after their mother dies. Hoping to start a new life, he takes what could be a life-changing job for an old school friend turned local criminal, Silas.What should have been a straightforward pick-up of a package in the North Sea turns into a nightmare when Jack is double-crossed, and his brother is kidnapped. As he fights for survival and searches for answers, Jack encounters friends and adversaries old and new across a violent night-time odyssey through England’s Northern rust belt.
Jamie Childs’ newest crime thriller arose last year during Fantasia Fest and was a blast during its run. Starring Oliver Jackson-Cohen and Jenna Coleman, Jackdaw is now set to rev up on UK screens beginning January 26, and Vertigo has released the official trailer.
The film also stars Thomas Turgoose, Allan Mustafa, and Rory McCann. Check out the teaser from last September, followed by the trailer just beneath revealed on Friday, and click here for my review.
