CONSEQUENCES is a very low budget Aussie thriller with intersecting story lines which mix and match as the running time progresses. So one day is about some corrupt cops and another is about a serial killer who eventually gets involved with the group. Other stories are about teenagers and one is about a vicious psychopath with murder in mind. I wanted to enjoy this, but the truth is that it's very cheaply staged and not really up to scratch when compared to the quality of other Aussie genre movies being made lately.
One thing the film does have going for it is the extreme level of violence with a handful of shocking moments seemingly styled on the black comedy of fare like WOLF CREEK. However, it's all rather cheesily done and thus lacks the impact and power of something with a more professional sheen. The acting is also quite poor with the exception of the two welcome old-timers, John Jarratt and Roger Ward, both of whom are sorely underutilised.
