Circus (2000)

In a world ensnared by cunning cons and lethal scams, Leo Garfield, an astute swindler, finds himself in the crosshairs of Bruno, a ruthless criminal with sadistic tendencies. Bruno, having a vested interest in removing Leo from his path, entwines him into a dangerous game. Equally sly is Leo's wife, Lily, whose past and present actions deepen the web of deception. For Lily's history is not as clear as it seems, as an unexpected encounter with Elmo, her old flame abandoned during a past heist, stirs the pot further. Meanwhile, Leo's problems multiply when Julius, another player in the game of deceit, hires him for an ominous task: the murder of Gloria, Julius's alleged wife. Leo executes the assignment, only to be trapped in a deadly blackmail scheme as Julius presents a recording of the murder, revealing that Gloria was not his spouse. With his back against the wall, Leo must also deal with Troy, his impatient bookie, demanding immediate repayment. As the stakes rise, alliances blur and plans intersect. Bruno and Julius, each with their own underhanded schemes, aim to take Leo down, while Bruno's gargantuan enforcer, Moose, lurks in the shadows. However, Leo, the seasoned con man, might just have a few tricks up his sleeve. His only hope lies in his ability to outmaneuver the onslaught of treachery, appease Troy, evade Moose, dispose of Gloria's body beyond England's borders, and confront Bruno's homicidal brother, Caspar. Yet, the ultimate question remains: Can he outwit Lily, or is she the one pulling his strings? Welcome to a high-stakes game of deception and survival, a three-ring circus where every act could be your last.
