Aftermath is a 2013 American crime thriller film written and directed by Thomas Farone and starring Anthony Michael Hall, Chris Penn, Tony Danza and Frank Whaley.

Plot

Cast

Production

The film was shot in Saratoga Springs, New York.[1][2][3] Filming began in either 2005[2] or 2006[3] and wrapped in either 2011[3] or 2012.[2][4] The deaths of cast members Chris Penn and Leo Burmester, as well as budget and schedule issues, served as reasons as to why the production lasted for years.[2][3]

Release

The film was released at the Cinequest Film & Creativity Festival in 2013.[3] It was released on VOD on April 21, 2015.[5][6]

Reception

Gary Goldstein of the Los Angeles Times gave the film a positive review and wrote, "The result is a bit of a patchwork, one that’s often clever, other times convoluted, but always watchable — if only to see what might happen next."[2]

The Hollywood Reporter gave the film a negative review: "Aftermath offers little to justify its obviously long-delayed theatrical release."[7]

Jeri Jacquin of Patch Media awarded the film "four tubs of popcorn out of five."[8]
