Story : Two strangers' lives become inextricably bound together after a devastating plane crash. Inspired by actual events, AFTERMATH tells a story of guilt and revenge after an air traffic controller's (Scoot McNairy) error causes the death of a construction foreman's (Arnold Schwarzenegger) wife and daughter.

Director Elliott Lester tries his best to make this film (said to be inspired by true events) look like a psychological thriller. He even succeeds to a certain extent as there’s an air of melancholy, uncertainty and ambiguity throughout. Sadly, that’s not enough to hold your attention.

Lester struggles to convert his compelling two-line story idea into a full-fledged feature film that strikes a chord with the audience. The wafer-thin plot runs out of steam and so does our patience, as we try to decode Roman and Jake’s behaviour and train of thought. While the execution lures you into closely observing and studying these two characters and their differing mind-set, the screenplay fails to move you beyond that. You don’t feel emotionally attached or invested in them.
