Wreckers (2011)

Wreckers is a 2011 drama film written and directed by D. R. Hood. The film's cast includes Claire Foy, Benedict Cumberbatch and Shaun Evans.
Plot: A married couple, Dawn and David, moves back to his childhood village to start a family but a surprise visit from the husband's brother, Nick, ignites sibling rivalry and exposes the lies embedded in the couple's relationship.
Shaun on his role: "For me the project was interesting because of the research that I had been doing for a personal project on post traumatic stress and the effect that has on men returning from conflict. Then the relationship between the two brothers David and Nick I thought was really interesting and well written, which raised a lot of questions that I didn’t have any answers to, at that stage. I'm also interested in the role our environment plays in the shaping of our decisions, and how the contributing factors of extreme or unusual atmospheres created by nature, have an effect on us, and having heard of the Fens as such a place, myself always having lived in cities, made another interesting thing that was, for me, worth exploring."

​The Guardian, 16 December 2011,  Wreckers – review 
(...) a brooding drama of rural disquiet and sexual tension.(...) this is a very sure-footed and confident piece of work. ​
Variety, 10 November 2011, Review: 'Wreckers'
​
Evans is particularly impressive in a tight, nervy turn that resists the role’s potential for wild-eyed showboating.
"I've talked with people who had returned from the war, knocked out of life with no home. I met with them, talked and tried to learn from even the physical demeanor "- Shaun said at a conference in Moscow.
