A feature debut shot in just 21 days, Jackdaw is a spectacular low-budget flick with a simple plot that offers up an intense, dynamic soundtrack and attractive visuals of a dark, futuristic nature, the American archetype of an action hero on a motorcycle and a noirish atmosphere. “Jericho” by The Prodigy reminded me that I need to revisit the band’s classic 1992 album Experience.

Jackdaw is a very solid feature debut from a TV creator that recalls Drive from a Northern English hood. The distinctive throbbing music and excellent sound design kind of distract from the not-quite-rehearsed script, which doesn't bring much new under the sun, but the frequent action and overall stylish feel of the film keeps the viewer paying attention. It could have pushed the envelope considerably more though.
