Storyline

- TriviaAccording to visual effects house Rising Sun Pictures (RSP) in South Australia, their challenge for this film was "create film titles and stabilise a series of moving and static camera shots." Their solution was "producer Marian Macgowan found some old collision tests from the Road Transport Authority which she wanted to use in the titles. We telecined this footage very carefully and used it as the background to the titles. We had a number of effect approaches, but in the end, over the dramatic footage, simple titles were most effective. Correcting the jitter shots was a straightforward matter of scanning the shots at 4K and stabilising the image off the gate corner or an object in frame."

Featured review
yes, worth it.
Interesting city drama of insurance scam with a reasonable romance added as a diversion RISK offers watchable lanky local dude-actor Tom Long quite a good addition to his CV. Unfortunately it has Bryan Brown doing his usual Aussie slang laden yobbo bloke thing we cinema-goers have suffered through since COCKTAIL. Talking out of the side of his mouth and scowling...so tedious. The gorgeous Claudie Karvan however is the girl and she is always competent and easy to believe..perhaps it is her acting no matter what the material. The other star of this 'quite good' film is the city of Sydney itself and this stab at 'office block business' not often depicted in Australian movies is a fairly successful attempt at a Grisham style thriller. THE FIRM -ish in Sydney? Close. It did not have much of a release and probably looked to possible audiences like a TV movie which is certainly is not.
