Aftermath (IV) (2017)
7/10
Destroyed Lives
12 April 2017
Warning: Spoilers
Near Christmas, the construction foreman Roman (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is eager to welcome his wife and pregnant daughter that are coming home. When he arrives at the airport, he is informed that their plane has crashed with no survivors, destroying his life.

The air traffic controller Jacob "Jake" Bonaos (Scoot McNairy) commits an error and two planes collide. Jake is forced to have another identity and move to another town, being separated from his beloved wife Christina (Maggie Grace) and son.

Roman hires a private investigator to locate Jake. When Roman meets him, a tragedy happens.

"Aftermath" is a slow-paced heavy drama of tragedy and revenge based on the Überlingen mid-air collision in 2002 and the aftermath. The film has great direction and performances and make the viewer to think about causes and consequences of tragedies. However it is indicated for specific audiences. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "Em Busca de Vingança" ("Seeking Revenge")

Note: On 01 April 2023, I saw this film again on Blu-Ray.
