But even so, this was a well made film that showed Schwarzenegger in a new light.
Maggie Grace plays his wife whom has to deal with a husband living in a daze (one scene finds him serving uncooked eggs to his son).Īftermath is a slow burn of a drama that more excels on its performances than story or even direction, by Elliott Lester (upcoming Sleepwalker), and there was a bit too of an obvious metaphor going on with the intercutting of two planes headed for certain disaster as we move towards the finale, which in itself was surprising.

First, Scoot McNary delivers in the other dramatic role, as a man who must live with 200+ lives due to a mistake, not one of incompetence but a very unfortunate series of events. No, it’s not Academy Award worthy or anything, but still really carries the film.Īlong with Schwarzenegger, the supporting cast does well in their respective roles. I wasn’t as impressed with Maggie but here, he actually gave a rather heartfelt performance. But now going on 71 years old (!), it would appear he’s transitioning to more meaty, dramatic roles with 2015’s Maggie and now Aftermath. Quick Hit Review: I never considered Arnold Schwarzenegger to be a ‘great’ actor, sure had worked well within the confines of the sci-fi and/or action genre where over the years he’s been pigeonholed, with the occasional comedy in between ( Twins, Jingle All the Way, Junior), where he’s more than prospered.
Both men attempt to move on from the tragedy, but Roman soon finds that he cannot live with his new reality without confronting the man responsible. Devastated, Jake moves away from his own family - wife Christina (MAGGIE GRACE) and son Samuel (JUDAH NELSON) - and assumes a new identity. The same is true for Jake (SCOOT MCNARY), the air traffic controller who inadvertently caused the accident. Plot Synopsis: Roman’s (ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER) life is changed forever the day he loses his wife and daughter in a plane crash. Subtitles: English SDH, French, Portuguese, Spanish – $24.99 | June 6, 2017Ĭast: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Scott McNary, Maggie Grace, Martin Donovanįeatures: Commentary, Interviews, Trailer Aftermath is a surprisingly well done drama featuring a few solid performances, most notably, Arnold Schwarzenegger showcasing some tenderness and honorable mention to Scoot McNary.
