Slick R One major aspect of making a movie is casting. This movie failed on all accounts. Mason Gooding is not a good villain he just looks like a kid model who was thrown into a role that he doesn't believe in. Dylan Sprouse is like a young Paul Walker, but he's got no charisma. This should have been a Tubi or Freevee movie. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/03/25 Full Review Laurance H Great acting by Dylan Sprouse and Dichen Lachman, in a movie whos plot is understandable, yet somewhat predictable. I feel there better choices could have been better for the rogue captain. The one positive from this movie is that Dylan Sprouse deserves a lot of credit as well as future rolls within the action movie genre. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/02/25 Full Review 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.
