It is not a a Netflix film after all
Oliver Jackson-Cohen plays the leading role in the film after all.
Here is a brief summary of the plot, as told by the two articles:
Jackson-Cohen, whose recent credits include Emily, The Lost Daughter, stars as a former motocross champion and army veteran, now caring for his younger brother. Broke, he agrees to do an open water pick up of a mysterious illegal package in the North Sea. A resulting double cross and his brother’s disappearance set him and his old bike on a violent nocturnal odyssey through England’s northern rust belt.
Jackdaw is set over the course of a single night and follows a broke former motocross champion and army veteran – played by Emily star Jackson-Cohen – who agrees to pick-up a mysterious package in the North Sea, with disastrous consequences for himself and his brother.
Other cast members besides Jenna Coleman and Oliver Jackson-Cohen in the film are: Thomas Turgoose, Allan Mustafa, Rory McCann, Vivienne Acheampong, Joe Blakemore and Leon Harrop.
Vivienne Acheampong is in the film as well! She played Lucienne in The Sandman, so there is another connection to Jenna.
