Paul Minsky:*Twenty* percent? It was 15 a half-hour ago!
Federal Reserve Assistant:Janet, I gotta have your authorization right here.
Federal Reserve Executive:What am I signing here?
Federal Reserve Assistant:I don't know.

Come on...what a bunch of nonsense!, 8 August 2002
Author: xfile1971 from Northbrook, IL, USA

I thought about making a contribution to the "goofs" section of this movie. However, I wasn't willing to use up a week's vacation time from work in order to compile the list of mistakes. The only people who could like this movie are those who enjoy films which are so awful, they end up being somewhat entertaining and funny.

I would attempt to go into the plot of "Prime Risk" but it is so ridiculous, I would actually be embarrassed having to type it out. This film is no "WarGames" and its ignorance about anything remotely technical is staggering. Stay away from this one because it's a prime risk to your mental well-being.
