Risk Without Contract

Risk Without Contract (1992) is an early-Nineties Russian crime action film you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Igor Murugov. Sergey Gromov makes his living as a stuntman, but the work is patchy — so between film shoots he ferries cars from one city to another for clients who pay well.

The next gig sounds easy enough. Drive a pricey foreign car all the way from Vladivostok to Moscow, where a buyer with serious cash is already waiting. Gromov takes the money. Somewhere on that endless cross-country road, almost by accident, he finds what he was never meant to see: a large drug shipment stashed behind the car's panels. From that point the easy paycheck turns into a run for his life. Vasily Shlykov, Tatyana Skorokhodova, Nonna Grishaeva and Ekaterina Rednikova lead the cast.

The film is soaked in the texture of the early Nineties — empty highways, gangster turf wars, a country with the rules switched off. Fans of post-Soviet action will find plenty to chew on here. Stream Risk Without Contract (1992) online on iFILM.
