Vendetta: Alles was ihm blieb war Rache

The tragic story of the film makes you think that it has the wrong actors in it, but Arnie himself proves you wrong. His stoic demeanour really makes you feel for his character.

The double story and how it comes together is a bit messy at times but overall it is compelling until the end.

Decent, not amazing, but worth a watch

Not exactly the best film and the filmography surplus, but this film still manages to pull viewer into a story that is, simply put, sad. The sequence of events takes characters through many years of deep regrets and pain, showing us that one event can leave an indelible mark on us. Despair and pain can lead even most average person, who lives completely average and peaceful life, to become furious madman in the hunt for something that will never be.

This is far from Oscar material, but it is a certainly watchable movie, which, in some moments, makes you think "what would I do?".

Arnold S. showed his "emotional" side, which to be honest is very warm, paternal and sensual but at the same time ... Well, look at the film. It is not a waste of time, but do not expect too much

One of the best movie ever for me, especially this kind of underrated film, the main reason why I love it. Best Schwarzy performance ever too. I don't understand why such idiots don't love this movie ONLY because it is definitely not an action movie. I guess they knew it in advance. My opinion about this film will never prevent me to love PREDATOR, TERMINATOR or CONAN too. But in those films, Arnold was terrific ONLY for his presence, and not his actor play. Here he is awesome ONLY on his actor play, and not his physical presence. And, in this film, you have no good guy against bad guy scheme. I love it too. And everything here is a surprise. A very moving movie for sure. So shame that was not released in French theatres. I highly prefer this instead of the last TERMINATOR movie with Arnold absolutely ridiculous About the revenge after one's family death topic, I prefer this one to COLLATERAL DAMAGE, more action oriented.

Aftermath was not what I expected at all. It's strongest moments were early as the story of the crash unfolded. It was terrifyingly mundane, just another work day for Jake in which a very understandably human mistake was made. Only, this mistake resulted in the collision of two passenger planes and unspeakable tragic loss of life. Arnold Schwarzenegger does a fantastic job portraying the strong, older man who loses his family and lacks the emotional equipment to process it. Scoot McNairy is perfectly cast and conveys the guilt and depression of Jake with heart wrenching power.

Unfortunately this story becomes less and less interesting as it progresses. perhaps that's a credit to the filmmakers for not adding dramatic power by adapting it too much. But, ultimately at the end I felt a sort of, "That's it...?" If you're a Schwarzenegger or McNairy fan, you might enjoy it. Otherwise, Aftermath fails to deliver.

This is not a bad movie, like most of the other reviews make it look. However, It wasn't good either. It was average - a movie that I wouldn't watch again because there is nothing new to see or discover the second time.

I didn't hate the movie. I thought the acting at some points was poor and the script was forced, but apart from that, everyone did their job. Some parts could have been improved in terms of making it more realistic.

Overall, I am giving Aftermath a 6 out of 10. I really wanted to like the movie more but I just couldn't.
