Aftermath (2017)
Driving by his deep will of seeing his wife and daughter, whom he did not see a long ago, Roman Mwlnyk, a construction manager, goes happily to the airport waiting for them, but incidents come to climax when he receives the news of their death in an air crash, as he cannot get along with that news.

Aftermath is a well-constructed narrative framework that has moments of interest, but mostly it's watching a deeply hurt and angry old man take out his frustrations over life's unfairness on other people.

Maybe Schwarzenegger's next movie will be as fascinating as his decision to star in it.

Schwarzenegger [delivers] a remarkably layered performance which, although a little strained, still managed to show that the ex-governor of California is capable of giving much more than we give him credit for.

Lester has composed a quiet, sometimes near-silent canvas for his naturalistic drama.

The film mostly feels like a slow-paced slog featuring a hokey, melodramatic ending.

Schwarzenegger and McNairy contribute credible performances, but both actors deserved better than this uneven, unmoving tale.
April 05, 2017
The movie shows little interest in either dramatic context or the realities of human behavior.

Unfortunately, the film's commendably atypical focus on characters, mood, and psychological realism does not make Schwarzenegger's latest necessarily good.

For a film in which Arnold Schwarzenegger's character loses his entire family in a tragic plane crash, it chooses to open with a dig at Donald Trump.

Ramon is a very specific kind of role, one that calls for a performer with an ability to convey inner torment, and that's ultimately beyond Schwarzenegger's rather limited range.

After an effective first act, everything falls apart -- there is neither urgency nor any narrative direction to Roman's behaviour, one that would justify the actions in the finale.

Sadly, as the characters converge, the rest of the movie loses force; it slackens and then rushes, and the time frames feel out of joint.
