That's what happens, all right, but what really happens is a lot more complicated. Because Masquerade depends upon its many surprises, I won't reveal any more of the plot.

...decidedly familiar territory that's employed to mostly compelling effect by Swaim...

While looking at the films that are interesting, usually the ones that really do thrill me, move me and keep me on the edge of the seat, well, not as good as to say thrilling. I think Masquerade would be the proper example. While it had a good plot but when watching this movie I really do think it has it's moments, like the relationship between the characters played by Rob Lowe and Meg Tilly and all. I think this is the same plot as Body Heat starring William Hurt and Kathleen Turner. While I am a fan of 80's, I think this drama thriller is just a solid experience.

Plenty of twists in this good mystery center around a penniless yacht captain in a plan with two others to get their hands on a young woman's inherited fortune in the Hamptons. Rob Lowe a perfect fit in this role.
