AFTERMATH (Theatrical Release USA 2017)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.7|5.0 Starsìììì

Aftermath—suspense drama—places Arnold Schwarzenegger in more of a dramatic role than in an action role. This film requires more emotion from him as did his movie Maggie. Schwarzenegger easily proves that he will handle anything Hollywood wants to throw at him. Likewise, this film works as a terrific credit for Scoot McNairy and for Director Elliott Lester.
