'Wreckers' is a film that stays with you long after the credits have rolled; a film you have to watch more than once; a film that leaves you concerned for the characters, in their fictitious futures. The three lead actors, each well known in their own right for other roles, inhabit their characters so completely as to become unrecognisable as themselves.
Claire Foy is the innocent bystander who finds herself caught up in the filial tension between her husband and brother in law; Shaun Evans is the vulnerable man/boy, damaged by his childhood and traumatised by his experiences as a soldier on active service; Benedict Cumberbatch is the loving husband and caring professional but with a darker side to his character, a menace that lurks beneath the surface, burns through his eyes and occasionally explodes in sudden bursts of extreme violence.
The film is beautifully shot in muted shades, at superb locations, creating an atmosphere of rural decline. The soundtrack is sometimes muffled, making conversations indistinct, adding to the increasing sense of unease. If this is the director D R Hood's debut, one can but feel there is lots more to come.

Brilliant performances from some of the UK's finest - Shaun Evans particularly, troubled by his recent past. As the story unfolds it becomes apparent that this is as much about the distant past and childhood relationships - and how what went before stays with us and shapes what we become. Worth investigating for the personal tensions that exist from almost the opening scene, for clever use of dream imagery and for the energy, both positive and negative in the relationships between the three key characters.

Dark and enigmatic
Intriguing story leaving you thinking long after it ends. Cumberbatch weaving a fine line between warmth and charismatic menice. Foy beautifully subtle. A little known gem.

A great movie
A wonderful story and superb acting by all, especially Benedict Cumberbatch. The only fault I can find is not with the story or the acting but with the filming. Read more

A beautiful and tragic love story
The story is both beautiful and tragic at the same time, after watching it you've still not shore what to make of it. But it's really good.
