Very well executed

So much average

For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Moderately twisty 80s movie is an easy watch, but it's a little bit hard to believe that in this posh community which has probably never had a murder, over the course of a few days:* rich loner's vile step-dad murdered * rich loner's vile step-dad's vile girlfriend murdered * rich loner's newlywed con-man husband murdered * rich loner's high school con-man boyfriend murderedall under suspicious circumstances without witnesses, and no one seems to suspect said rich loner. nor do they even mind or care or notice this murder streak. people just keep partying.i wish there was more suspense or peril or consequence. i thought she was going to be the cunning genius in the end, but no, she was still the innocent ingenue.

A fortune-hunter meets a rich chick whom he wants to swindle but falls in love with her instead.Rob Lowe is extremely handsome in this familiar but OK retelling of love and deceit with Meg Tilly as Rob's romantic interest and John Glover as Meg's repellent father-in-law.The film has a nice look to it, but unfortunately, some of the supporting actors suck. It's hard to make a story like this particularly interesting when its been done so many times, but Rob and Meg keep it afloat and the eastern shore is very pretty.For the girls in the audience: Rob shows his butt again.

"Masquerade" is a movie about wealth and its destructive partner in crime, greed. Meg Tilly is 'Olivia Lawrence', the young rich heiress who seems to have finally found her perfect man, but not everybody is who they appear to be.Bob Swaim's thriller is very slick and modern, having its share of sex and violence. Yet to his credit, our director allows the film's plot to dot the bulk of the work. The script is well balanced, and contains enough twists to keep its audience guessing.Topping it all off is Meg Tilly's fine performance. Also starred Rob Lowe, Kim Cattrall, Doug Savant and John Glover. Intriguing.Saturday, August 8, 1992 - Video

This movie has it all, mystery, suspense, beautiful women, fast cars, and most especially great sailing and beautiful boats. I first saw this movie shortly before moving to New England, where I spent a year scouring the coast for a rich woman who needed a live-in yacht captain and 'kept man.' Every male my age wanted to be Rob Lowe; I specifically wanted to be Rob Lowe in this movie.This plot has more twists than a mountain highway. The more we get to know the people of this little beachfront town, the more we see the legacy of the Salem witch trials. The tension between the ultra-rich haves and the town full of have nots is portrayed as well as I have ever seen; the transient nature of the rich who come for 'the season' and then return to Manhattan versus the people who live and work in the town all their lives, watching the rich come and go with their beautiful homes, expensive cars, and meaningless parties. Mild spoiler: It's a genuine pleasure to find one tiny pearl of redemption in this movie filled with unredeemable characters.
