John P This could have been a good movie. But the actor portraying the Rouge Captain is a terrible bad guy. I’m laid up in bed and have pretty much watched everything else. Why a bridge? Nobody would ever do that. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/27/25 Full Review Matt H. It wasn’t bad action movie. I know it was a low budget one but for what it use it wasn’t to bad. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/20/25 Full Review Kyle S This is truly the worst action film I've ever watched. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/13/25 Full Review Kitty R ***Misunderstood Villain, Misjudged Film*** (Potential spoilers – character detail discussed, not plot twists) Most of the criticism I’m seeing around Aftermath focuses on the villain being “overacted,” but I genuinely think people are missing the deeper character construction. This isn’t a sleek, calculated action villain—it’s a man who is dying, traumatised, and mentally unraveling. That’s intentional. The antagonist openly says he has a golf-ball-sized brain tumour and is on anticancer medication—known to affect cognition, mood, and behaviour. He’s not chaotic for shock value; he’s terminal, heavily medicated, and dealing with long-term trauma. His emotional outbursts and erratic behaviour reflect that. It’s not bad acting—it’s one of the most grounded portrayals of a man with nothing left to lose that I’ve seen in recent action thrillers. Many viewers seem to expect a “Marvel-style” villain—cool, composed, and quippy. That’s not who this character is. He’s dangerous because he’s unpredictable, emotionally raw, and mentally unstable. That’s what makes him compelling—and terrifying. Dylan Sprouse delivers a solid performance as the lead, and while the plot has a few clunky moments, the film holds real tension and an emotional throughline that sets it apart. If you actually engage with the character motivations, Aftermath becomes a lot more meaningful than most reviews suggest. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/30/25 Full Review Bill W How could a bridge be so blown up and not fall into the river? There were too many plot holes to count. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/26/25 Full Review Claudio C Aftermath (2024) Good Action Movie, but with Awful Storyline, Screenplay, Dialogs and Villain (11,780 – 22 Jun 2025 – by Claudio Carvalho) In Boston, the former Army Ranger Eric Matthews Daniels (Dylan Sprouse) is giving driving lesson to his sixteen-year-old Madeline “Maddie” Daniels (Megan Stott) in his truck. While crossing the Tobin Memorial Bridge, the police is transporting the prisoner Samantha “Doc” Brown in an armored truck to testify against her former Retcon Squad for killing several civilians in Afghanistan. Out of the blue, a group of terrorists led by Jimmy 'Romeo' Roken (Mason Gooding), blow up the bridge in two halves. The he uses the hostages to force the government to release the "Shattered Dove initiative", where the squad was authorized to kill civilians in certain circumstances and release the Retcon soldiers. But Eric, who suffers from PTSD, wants to save Maddie from the terrorists, begins a resistance on the bridge killing terrorists. When Doc flees from the armored truck, they team up to save the hostages. “Aftermath” (2024) is a good action movie directed by Patrick Lussier. However, the awful storyline, screenplay and dialogs by Nathan Graham Davis and the villain Jimmy 'Romeo' Roken destroy the movie. Mason Gooding has one of the worst performances ever seen. The rest of the cast is very reasonable, the special effects are good, but the senseless situation associated with the performance of Mason Gooding makes the film almost unbearable. My vote is five.
