Masquerade Summary
MPAA Rating: R
Director: Bob Swaim
Genres: Thriller
Rating:
American-born French film director Bob_Swaim directed this sordid tale of greed, deception, machinations and murder. The darkly beautiful Meg_Tilly stars as Olivia Lawrence, member of the Hamptons social elite and heiress to a vast fortune, who becomes attracted to dangerous newcomer Tim Whalen (Rob_Lowe). She unwittingly falls into his web of deceit, as he and her stepfather (John_Glover) plot her murder in order to gain the 3,000,000 in her trust fund. Inspired in plot by the film noir classics of the '40s, Masquerade lacks the style and originality of the originals. The film noticeably lacks suspense; there is no sustained tension, and many of the characters seem included simply for the sake of bizarreness. However, Tilly manages to carry the film all on her own with her considerable talent and natural screen presence. Jeremy Beday, Rovi
