Aftermath is a black comedy thriller about one man's enormous overreaction. Thomas Fiorini (Anthony Michael Hall) is a successful developer and an upstanding member of the community. He has it all: money, a stunning wife (Elisabeth Rohm), and their first child on the way. But the good times come to a screeching halt when Tom's lead foreman Matt (Jamie Harrold) and subcontractor Tony (Chris Penn), start to compete for top position in the company. After a physical fight with Tony, Matt mysteriously disappears and Tom, fearing the worst, fires Tony. What follows is a slippery spiral of confrontations and suspicions as Tom becomes increasingly paranoid. Step by step he moves in a direction of fear leading to meetings with a top hit man (Tony Danza) and a cast of unsavory characters.

The result is a bit of a patchwork, one that's often clever, other times convoluted, but always watchable - if only to see what might happen next.

One Guy's Opinion

The crime melodrama, whch its makers have dubbed a 'black comedy thriller,' has a few oddball moments but is never funny, and it certainly isn't thrilling.

Rated: D-

Q: HOW is it that between 2012 & now, Jan 2022, there have been 5 (FIVE ! ) different movies with the same title "AFTERMATH" ? ! ! As for this one, imho, Much of it very slow, with an odd boring style, but got better near the end. The story had much promise. Much better than some of the critics say. I might try to watch it again.// NOT FUNNY Comedy. Never heardo bfo Jan 26, 2022 on the television set. SPOILER BELOW: Again, TONY DANZA looked, sounded acted Great. But, according to the script, his character was a "top Hit Man", with an arsenal of weapons. So, odd that he got punked so easily by the guy Tony he was sposed to intimidate, then surprised and killed in his own lair by invaders.

This movie has great characters mixed in with some dark humor. The smart cast of characters play well of each others actions and non actions. With one wrong turn the story has some twists to the conventional story telling we have all grown accustomed to. Would def recommend.

Oh my goodness! What a mess.The script is so confusing Hall looked as confused as everyone else. Thriller with the editing that I count as practice. I guess Mr Farone thought if you jumped around enough from scene to scene the suspense would be enough to keep us riveted. Being kind, this should have been a one hour drama on TV. If you are looking for a plot ending or any kind of answers you will have to wait for the sequel. So sorry this was Penn's swan song. He was menacing and believable as the antagonist but there wasn't enough plot to let him shine. And you won't be seeing any of Hall's best here, if that's what you are looking for.
