Donald Crombie says making the film was fraught with tension : We researched it pretty thoroughly and we got fairly close to the beast , I think . We were peculiarly warned off by none other a person than John Dowd , who 's a judge now , I believe . He rang Tony Buckley and said that this film was a bit close to the bone and - talking about me - he said , " He 's got young children and he should be thinking a bit about what he 's doing . " It did n't put us off , but you did look under the car for about two days afterwards because you thought , hang on a minute , what 's all this about ... And the nexus between government and big business and crime . They 're very comfortable together . The film was entered into the 32nd Berlin International Film Festival , where it won an Honourable Mention
