Although Jacob Elordi and Daisy Edgar-Jones lead the upcoming romantic drama 'On Swift Horses', don't expect the typical sparks between the pair.

Dreams, desires, and secrets sum up the 1950s and the new uneven film, “On Swift Horses." This “epic” old-school style film strives to be a romance, a gambling story, domestic melodrama, even a hard-boiled film noir.

She’s back in the heartland for On Swift Horses as Muriel, a young Kansas woman just barely engaged to the steadfast, plan-oriented Lee ( Will Poulter ). We learn early on that he’s asked repeatedly, and she finally says yes on Christmas Day, in front of Lee’s brother, Julius ( Jacob Elordi ), who has just blown into town for the holidays.
