Arnold Schwarzenegger continues his recent off kilter movie choices in this grim based on fact drama about a man who loses his wife and pregnant daughter in a freak plane crash. Swapping the weights for emotional heavy lifting, Arnie’s life becomes intertwined with the air traffic controller who debatably caused the plane crash, played by Scoot McNairy. Arnie sets out to find him, after McNairy and his family are relocated with a new name, leading to an eventual confrontation. It’s a low-key revenge drama, ponderously executed, a plot twist and some clunky dialogue does not help. Arnie however, despite being no one’s idea of a first choice for this sort of role, does not disgrace himself, if it is at times quite hard to buy that the ex-Terminator would have taken so long to get results. Following an initially promising start, Aftermath soon peters out into well-meaning but dull blandness.
