This film was a breath of fresh air. I won't go into plot details, as they have been divulged already. But Eddie Izzard was most amusing, and I was also surprised with Brian Conley, who I usually hate, who portrayed a villain with ease.
John Hannah was very well cast as the laid back, likeable crook.
After watching Snatch (which I thought was an entertaining, but well off-par sequel to Lock Stock) it was refreshing change to see Circus. Admittedly, it isn't as good as Lock Stock, but doesn't try to run in the same lane. It's good old off-beat comedy.
This film will not be liked by Americans for two reasons.
1) It contains irony & sarcasm
2) It is an English film with English actors
Maybe this is why we don't do very well at the Oscars!!
