StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Tetrady not as good as all the hype

Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Penny Chavers This movie was excellent. I loved the action, the romance, the patriotism, and most of all, the spiritual lesson to be learned. There was no foul language or ungodly scenes to make you or your family uncomfortable. This movie should be made into either a regular show or a continuation like a trilogy. I loved Ben Franklin's character too. This movie would even make a good video game.

Allison "I will make a new reputation to save me from my past." Assassin William Reynolds, who worked for the East India Company, stated what he was in search of pursuing in the PG historical drama film. It wasn't until he changed his name to Vicar and fell in love with a woman, that he truly sought out change. The Mask placed in the title of the film, represented Will Reynolds's assistance in concealing his past, villainous life. A chain around his neck represented the hope he journeyed for. Beginning with the East India Company pendant, he changed it to a cross when becoming Vicar, finally slipping a ring on it in hopes he could earn Charlotte's love. Spirituality is placed deeply within the story as a dying man says, "Redemption –not revenge… There's only One Name with the power to make you new." Will didn't realize the meaning of this until he spoke to a preacher in jail; he then found that it was the Gospel story revealing itself when that man had died in attempt to save him. I liked the way Benjamin Franklin was brought to life with the humor he would have had in reality. He was a good comedy relief for the emotions/action piling in the story. Director Chad Burns exhilaratingly revealed what was behind the mask, in a way that you wouldn't believe unless you saw it with your own eyes. As PluggedIn reviews put it: On the same stage as National Treasure and Zorro!

saul-hudson Sometimes you really have to wonder at IMDb's review system. It is very obvious that either this movies production staff have been bigging it up or the reviewers who scored this amateurish production 10/10 have extremely low standards.The first 5 minutes were 'ok' apart from the terrible cgi and I hoped it would pick up from there but alas 30 minutes in and I'm marvelling at how easy it is for people who can't act to get into a movie these days.This is a very painful movie to watch. I can liken the acting to the sort of wooden performances given by children at a kindergarten nativity play. Of course a lot of the blame needs to go to the script writer..who is obviously independently wealthy or has friends with too much money and no idea what to do with it. A script like this should never get anywhere near a movie production.As for the director Chad burns? well you only have to look at his resume to understand what went wrong there and his wife Angela(casting dept) didn't help matters much either.Talking of cast, I don't think this bunch really gelled together. John Rhys-Davies seems to have made a career out of trying to carry budget films and TV series with varying degrees of success...didn't work in this case by the way. Kara Kilmer is not really leading lady stuff, at least not with a script like this and Andrew Chaney has only made two previous movies, both of which were not glowing examples of the craft and were obviously some sort of vanity vehicle, casting himself as lead in both cases. Nope, ain't happening. Extra or bit part player maybe but lead? I have no idea who funded this movie but given it's Christian overtones and the way religion in the USA is actively involved in promoting itself through 'good wholesome movies' I would not be surprised if this is yet another example of money over talent in the name of preaching the Christian gospel. Do yourselves and us a favour and leave movie making to those who know how to do it properly? If you have a couple of hours to kill....well, kill it somewhere else. This travesty of a movie is not worth the time or money.

carganennis Beyond the Mask is the best Christian movie I've ever seen. That goes without saying it's a wonderful film regardless of your beliefs. I was impressed by the lavish quality production design. Aaron Burns is a breath of fresh air in the director's seat. The movie is energetic and doesn't waste time on needless scenes. Everything is there for a reason. This makes it a joy to watch. Andrew Cheney is dashing and convincing as a former assassin trying to redeem himself. He and Kara Killmer have great chemistry. John Rhys-Davies delivers (as always) a top notch performance. The best way to describe Beyond the Mask is to see it. This deserved a wide release. I'm going back a second time before they take it away. With believable acting , romance, drama and exciting action scenes, Beyond the Mask has something for everyone. Definitely buying the DVD when it's released. This was seriously the funnest movie I've seen in a long time. Bring on a sequel!
