Risk Factor
What do you do when you’re caught between the rock and the hard place?
You shoot your way out.
Alex Granger, used to be one of the CIA’s best spy photographers. And Alex thought he was finished with intelligence work when he and his CIA operative, Rick D’Angelo just barely got out of the Balkans in ‘95 with their hides still intact.
Fast forward to the present — Alex is a successful fashion photographer with a great gig, a beautiful girlfriend and the world, seemingly, by the tail. But the past baggage, which often haunts Alex’s dreams, is a strange beast and two separate events occur in Alex’s life which bring that past crashing back with a fierce vengeance.
First, Alex is visited and subsequently recruited by a beautiful and cunning international arms dealer, to secretly gather photographic intelligence on a very important arms deal, which she and her partner are brokering between a rogue Russian General and the rebel forces of several central American countries. Then his former partner, CIA agent Rick D’Angelo, shows up virtually out of nowhere, with his own agenda regarding that same arms deal. Rick is on his way out at ‘The Agency’ and is looking to hijack the proceeds of the arms deal, (heroin and cocaine). During the course of events it becomes clear that Rick will sink to any depths, including kidnapping and murder, to accomplish his mission. But to make it happen he needs Alex’s cooperation and assistance.
Suddenly, Alex is caught in between these two warring factions, and must alone resolve the situation without getting himself killed or sent to prison in the process. Alex has never been one to let the situation control him — so he goes about the task of freeing himself from the tentacles of this intrigue with a hero’s determination and cunning.
Risk Factor, combines an intriguing and literate story of spies and the high profile criminals they pursue with the solid action and gritty excitement of a first rate martial arts film — and an ending which resolves the story in a completely unexpected fashion.
