Customer Reviews of Circus (2000)
Here's to Circus Forget Usual Suspects, forget Guy Ritchie or Pulp-Fictionesque movies. CIRCUS outweighs films like Confidence or other con/affair-like plots. Mind-entertaining, spectacular, interesting, hard-to-crack. Worth if you like to use to solve riddles, if you're a bit sick of sour as two-week milk american con-movies. Thumbs up! Hannah, Izzard and Jannsen do it!
Too Many Twists: A Failed British Gangster Movie
Many have described CIRCUS as being in the tradition of other British-gangster films, such as SNATCH and LOCK, STOCK, AND TWO SMOKING BARRELS. If this is so, it is a tradition that not only has been lost and forgotten by the time CIRCUS started rolling its camera, it has been trampled upon as well by the time it hit the big screen. While there were some entertaining moments in this film, I was completely bowled over with the "amateur" feel the film serves up right from the start. As to be expected, there are a mess of twists and turns in the plot. In fact, every five minutes finds us chasing down a new lead. While some films can pull this off, CIRCUS falls beneath the weight of the maze it tries to weave. The problem with a film that has too many twists is that you are sure halfway through the movie of how it will end: exactly as you thought at the beginning. Thus, in the end, I was not surprised by the logic of CIRCUS, nor was I impressed by it.

>While I will not completely sink this movie, I think that you can pick up many more that are "in the tradition" that not only do the tradition justice but also create something new and exciting. You'll find none of that here.
3 3/4 stars
In the tradition of Snatch and twisty caper British films everywhere, Rob Walker's film Circus finally flipped its way across my screen today.

>With the delicious Josh Hannah, a cameo by the fabulous Eddie Izzard, and a whole heap of talented actors, I expected a bit more. The fault was with the story however, which twisted and turned itself right back to the obvious conclusion. I never doubted my theory on it from the beginning and I was right. It is a fun watch though and while some of the gags are tired- big man, small car- I enjoyed the basic plot. The characters are likeable, the story is fun, and its visually appealing. Definitely worth a watch.
