Schwarzenegger and Mcnairy give powerful performances in this dire, downbeat drama but the film making frequently undermines them, choosing shortcuts over deeper more soulful exploration. This movie inspired by a true story.
AfterMath start with awkwardly with an unbeat beginning that basically guarantees and cheapens the tragedy to come. The effects of the crash has on both a man who loses his family and on the air traffic controller who may have been responsible.
Violence isn't constant but is brutal, there's stabbing spurting blood and a pool of blood as well as image of the plane crash site and dead bodies.
A tense mood is created with slow camera pans, reminiscent of David Fincher, and the cinematography manages to be both stripped back and controlled. The camera work is effective.
