Short movie review

Recently I did watch the movie: Aftermath with Arnold Schwarzenegger in the leading role. The German title is 'Vendetta,' and I admit that the movie surprised me especially because I didn't know the original title, which fit the movie much better.

It's loosely based on a real story, a mid-air collision in Überlingen/Germany.

Roman Melnyk has lost his wife and his (pregnant) daughter when two planes collide, and he is fighting hart with the aftermath of this loss. When he finally makes a fateful decision it changes not only his life.

Other than expected this movie has (at least in my opinion) nothing to do with revenge but it's the desperate try of a broken man to find at least some peace. I can understand that some people are disappointed by the movie because they are waiting for action and 'craboom' but it's more the opposite. I myself did like the movie very much and the performance of Arnold Schwarzenegger, too.

That movie does sound good.
