Risk is a 2001 Australian film about insurance fraud directed by Alan White and starring Tom Long, Bryan Brown, and Claudia Karvan.[2] The film is based on the story The Adjuster by Tracy Kidder.
John Kriesky (Bryan Brown) is a veteran insurance investigator who is tempted towards the wrong side of the law. With the help of an amateur con man Ben (Tom Long), John hatches a scheme to substantiate false claims by taking part of several questionable claims his firm has settled for a fraction of what they're usually worth. John and Ben get help in their illegal business by lawyer Louise (Claudia Karvan), who has a cocaine addiction and is John's lover. But when Louise becomes involved with Ben and demands a bigger cut of the money, their shaky confidence game begins to fall apart.
