In this thrilling crime story set in Brighton, England, Leo Garfield
(John Hannah) is a con man and gambler who is married to the gorgeous
Lily (Famke Janssen), an American woman with a shady past. About to be
pressured into running a casino in Manchester for the crooked Bruno
Maitland (Brian Conley), Leo is hired to murder a friend's wife, who
turns out to be the girlfriend of Moose (Tiny Lister), Bruno's enormous
bodyguard. The man who hired Leo is actually Julius Harvey (Peter
Stormare), Bruno's flighty accountant. As the double crosses begin to
twist and turn at an alarming rate, Leo must also dig his way out of the
enormous debt he has incurred with a pair of thuggish bookies, Troy
(Eddie Izzard) and Bruno (Brian Connelly). Also making an appearance is
Elmo Somerset (Fred Ward), a recently paroled American who is looking to
exact revenge on Lily. Working from a taut, clever script, director Rob
Walker's CIRCUS is an action-packed, darkly humorous, suspenseful tale
that features an overabundance of pop culture references. Hannah uses
the charming persona he established in FOUR WEDDINGS AND A FUNERAL and
SLIDING DOORS to add intrigue to the proceedings, and Janssen delivers
yet another credible performance that proves she isn't just a pretty
face.
