Em Busca de Vingança

When I watched this it reminded me of the Joker. A dark character study based on a true story of how people deal with grief. The ending is perfect too. Arnie is really showing his range here which is something his action hero contemporaries have not tried to stretch. Not sure how much of this is based on truth and how much is fiction but it's totally believable. Truly tragic all around.

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.

Don't expect any Terminators jumping around in this movie. The plot is somewhat new, and not a used up scenario you find in every second movie.

It's a movie that goes a bit deeper than the usual special effects movies these days.

I did not find this movie boring as some stated, it got a slow pace but well thought. The characters need to breathe to send their message out.

So if you want pure action, stay away from it, if you like movies that bring their message with acting, go for it. Arnold Schwarzenegger is talking with his whole body, that's what I prefer to overextended dialogues.

So if you thought you leave it out, because it's just a 6 rating, you might miss an interesting new face of Arnold Schwarzenegger.

The actors around him did a good job as well.

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.
