    A good run all night film

    I like what the writers were trying to do here. I am a sucker for the run all night kinds of films, just thrown into the action and barely getting an escape from it. But if anything I wanted more depth from the film and characters and it just didn't have enough time.

    I loved the overall atmosphere of the film, the foggy and dark night time settings and the music was just on point and great the entire time.

    The film is totally worth a watch, I enjoyed it in the end.

    Also I have loved Oliver Jackson-Cohen ever since I first saw him in Faster(2010) so I had to watch this one and he really does a great job once again in his acting delivery.

    Give it a chance if you are a sucker for these kind movies like me.

    Don't believe the haters - this is a crackin low budget thriller

    Simple gritty scenes of bike chases, raves and fights. A decent movie about family revenge. No-ones going to win an oscar for this but it will keep you engaged for 90-minutes and if you like old skool rave then the soundtrack and rave scenes are great fun.

    Don't believe all the negative reviews, you'll know if you like it in the first ten minutes. If you like any sort of revenge / chase movies then this is for you. If you also like bikes / rave toons then you'll love it. It's rare I check out the sound track of a movie afterwards but I'll be checking this one out - some classics that had me waving my glowsticks!.

    Jackdaw

    Not wishing to start rumours, but if Oliver Jackson-Cohen and Jenna Coleman were ever to have child, it would be a thing of beauty! It may not, however, be terribly discerning as this film is nobody's finest hour. OJC is the eponymous character. A former moto-cross champion with a bit of baggage, he is reduced to intercepting packages strapped to wind turbines in the North Sea for his slightly bonkers dealer pal "Silas" (Joe Blakemore). Something's gone wrong with his latest mission though. There's no payday awaiting him at the rendezvous point, then he gets shot at by a man on a horse! Luckily his ageing bike has more HP that the real thing so he escapes only to run out of petrol, then thump a cop who tries to apprehend him, then end up calling in some favours to try and find who has kidnapped his brother "Simon" in apparent retaliation for him not delivering the goods. Still with me? "Jack Dawson" (yep, there are a few "Titanic" jokes) has now to try and fathom who has his sibling and en route we encounter some unsavoury types from England's North East before a frankly rather underwhelming denouement. Coleman features unremarkably once or twice, as does the quite engaging Thomas Turgoose as the outwardly weedy but surprisingly resilient "Craig" but the writing is all a bit bland, the story a bit thin and undercooked and the set-piece scenarios are just too staged - especially the police raid of the rave - to be effective. It's watchable and to be fair it doesn't hang around, but it could just as easily be an episode of "The Professionals" and I doubt I'll recall it for long.

    Worth a watch, enjoyed the retro feel

    Quite harshly judged by some of the other reviews. If all films below 6* on imdb were like this I'd be happy. Not a world beater for sure, but I really enjoyed the retro feel of it, and the soundtrack that went with it. Ended up uncertain about whether it was a recent film or slightly older.

    I think the film reflects the sometimes mundane nature of the drugs trade and people involved in it, but it still kept me entertained and engaged. The atmosphere was sustained through the film for me.

    Loved the setting on the film in the North East. Would happily seek out and watch anything else by this director.

    Don't listen to the low scoring UK reviews - Check Jackdaw out

    I anticipated the UK release of Jackdaw after hearing about a film being shot in the north east of England, a place I grew up before moving to London.

    I saw great reviews coming out of America's Fright Film Festival and I have to disagree with some of the more negative English reviews, namely The Guardians Peter Bradshaw which came across more on an opinion than any depth to a review with slight observations about the film, it wasn't an anti carter of dullness. It had mood/style which earnt the next "action" moment instead of just hitting you in the face with fast cuts and ridiculous action of bigger hollywood movies.

    I really enjoyed Jackdaw, it was a throwback to 80's/90's films, I'll be checking more things with Oliver Jackson Cohen in it and was already a big fan of Thomas Turgoose and Jenna Coleman and I'll be interested to see what comes next from the filmmakers.

    I've seen comparisons to the film Drive and yeah I get it and agree.

    It was refreshing to see an English film not set in London, what an achievement to get this made in the current times of Marvel movies and everything we can access via streaming services.

    Myself and my mates had a great time seeing this at the cinema, if you can see it on the big screen, do it and support independent cinema.
