Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
TrueHello
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Without question, "Aftermath" is one of the most inept films I have ever seen. Characters are introduced with absolutely zero development. The photographer should write a letter of apology to the audience for his headache inducing close ups of half faces. In places things are so dark it is ridiculous. Some of the bizarre camera angles are nauseating. as if this wasn't bad enough, the whole story is a so what, as characters we know nothing about, go around killing each other. This is film making at it's worst, and by the way, it is advertised as a "black comedy", which it most definitely is not. Avoid at all costs. - MERK

First of all it's not really a thriller, it's more of a gangster movie. However the brief plot summary here on IMDb gives away too much. In one sentence all the twists are spoilt. Thank god I watched the movie before checking on IMDb. I also didn't know Chris Penn had died during the movie, so I wasn't looking for story-holes and therefore I was watching it without any prejudice. I expected something Tarantino-like and it delivered. The movie has great characters played by good actors, great camera work, funny scenes, good soundtrack, tough guys, sexy women and accelerating violence. I was shocked over the 5-star rating. With reservoir dogs I sometimes got bored, but this movie kept me excited for the whole length. Chris Penn is amazing as the psycho-ex-con.

And seemingly for a very understandable reason. It just goes from being one type of movie to being a complete different one with little coherence. The reason for that is pretty simple Chris Penn died during the filming of this movie so the movie couldn't be finished. The director had to re-write the whole movie to make it work around the scenes that he had filmed with Chris Penn and add additional characters and sub plots. And unfortunately it doesn't work, first half runs fairly smoothly but the second half just becomes a puddle of randomness and leaves you with more questions than answers. It's not all bad, but there's not a lot good with it either.But at least Chris Penn fans will finally get to see his final performance.

This was a somewhat strange movie because it was hard to get excited by the story.I thought the story lacked a lot and it was hard to tell who was good or bad and there for who to root for.Besides the story lacking, production value looked good and the acting was above average.If your looking for a different kind of slow burn "thriller" you might wanna check this one out some time.If your looking for fast paced and action packed than you better skip this one.Also Chris Penn plays one of his last roles and it's dedicated in his memory and the best scenes in this movie are with him.If your a fan you should really see it but that goes without saying.Also feel that the title is a mismatch but I can't explain why?It's a slow thriller and it's o.k.But, just o.k.
