This is a film full of scenes that would be easy to overplay, but which Schwarzenegger tackles with understated perfection. Truly, this is quite unlike anything else he’s ever done, and brilliantly so. Read full review

Aftermath can’t quite sustain its controlled tone, relying on operatic melodrama and limp plot twists as it concludes in an uneasy resolution. Read full review

Aftermath may not say much, but Arnold Schwarzenegger's reserved performance is a somber turn that keeps drama surprisingly in-tune. Read full review

While Schwarzenegger is solid – almost literally, his face like granite and his movements stiff – and McNairy is completely committed in this tragic two-hander, Lester’s film is resolutely one-note. Read full review

Frank Scheck

Unfortunately, he (Schwarzenegger)doesn’t quite have the chops to do full justice to the material, and his decades-long, popcorn movie image proves a further impediment. Despite the seriousness of his intentions, Aftermath doesn’t pack sufficient emotional punch. Read full review

In fact, Aftermath only becomes interesting if considered as a dour subversion of the daughter-and-wife revenge scenarios of Schwarzenegger’s action movies — as star text, in other words. Read full review

The film evokes nothing more strongly than a live-action adaptation of a Crate and Barrel catalog. Read full review

La actuación de Arnold fue impecable. Me parece que es su mejor película hasta la fecha. No me quedó claro si el culpable fue efectivamente el del control aéreo, quizás un flashback a media película o al final hubiera ayudado.

A very depressingly emotional story based on actual events with a really great combination of acting for Arnold and Scoot McNairy, with a surprisingly unexpected ending. I'm enjoying these types of roles Arnold is experimenting with lately.

Who knew Arnold Schwarzenegger could actually act?
With Maggie and this one he did not reinvented his career but at least he has learned to do something else.

This is the first movie that I didn't like Arnold in. Not for his acting or anything, but more to do with the character. He's always a nice presence in movies, this however, gets to a point where I couldn't fully get behind the character actions and how he took things way too far.

Then again, maybe he doesn't ask for sympathy. I guess watch the movie and decide for yourself. Not recommending the movie, but seeing if any is feeling the same as me.… Expand
