Not Much Happens... "Aftermath"

Aftermath (2017)

Rated R

Starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Scoot McNairy

Directed by Elliott Lester

The Story:

Jake (McNairy) is an air traffic controller who makes a horrific mistake on the job. Roman (Schwarzenegger) lost his wife and daughter on one of the planes that crashed. Roman sets out on a course of revenge while Jake's life also spirals out of control.

Trust me, I'm trying to ramp up the drama, but really, not much happens during the movie.

It's just a long dramatic pause so that Ah-nuhld can muster revenge because the airlines never actually apologized for the crash.

Yeah, I know, it makes no sense in the real world or in the fictional movie world either.

Enough happens to keep a passing interest in the movie, and then it culminates in a final act that just seems disjointed enough to provide any emotional impact on the movie to move the audience.

It just ends and the credits roll. No satisfying conclusion to what just happened.

Then you feel like the main character, just with less revenge on your mind, and more of a quest to find a more satisfying movie to watch.

Maybe tomorrow?

Final Grade: C
