A short blurb from Acorn Media about Chancer Series 1: In the role that led to film stardom in Croupier and an Oscar nomination in Closer, Clive Owen is simply dazzling as Stephen Crane-con artist, swindler, and purported savior of a struggling sports car company. In this complete first series, Chancer follows the fortunes of unforgettable characters pulled powerfully by love, sex, money, loyalty-and, ultimately, identity.
This series was the vehicle that shows the talent of Clive Owen (King Arthur, Children of Men). In this he plays a con artist & swindler that somehow get stuck actually saving a small car company from going under than ripping them off. Fired from his previous job, he finds one at Douglas Motors and instead of running away with all the money, he get in too deep to just simply leave. I really enjoyed this series, which is filmed beautifully! This set comprises of the first 13 episodes of the series.
