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.
