Aftermath becomes an afterthought

WHAT'S a Hollywood action hero turned governor of California to do for a fourth act? (Let's not forget his start as a pro-bodybuilder.)

Arnold Schwarzenegger is 69, and reinventing himself as a serious thespian in vulnerable everyman roles appears to be his plan. Unfortunately, heavyweight drama is beyond him.

Aftermath, which Schwarzenegger co-produced, is based on the 2002 Überlingen mid-air collision between a chartered plane and a cargo jet over Germany, and the air traffic controller's fatal stabbing by a Russian blaming him for the deaths of his family among the passengers.
