Full of hackneyed aphorisms and improbable history.

Rated: 1.5/5

Variety

A drama of redemption by way of an American Revolution history lesson, Chad Burns' action-adventure yarn offers little in the way of subtlety or surprise.

[A] stagy, overstuffed costume drama.

Works well because of a cohesive cast that seems to understand the mission and method behind the film.

The performances and visuals are so good, it's a bit disappointing the over-stuffed plot doesn't equal them.

This movie has been in the world for six years, God gave The Burns family all the information to do this. Will there be another film that covers the next mission?

Here I was, looking for something to watch because the pickings are so few. I like a variety of genres but it's become very hard to find anything worth watching. I decided to check out "Beyond the Mask" not knowing what to expect. I was captivated from the start. It's a little historical fiction, a story of good vs evil & redemption. The production and acting are excellent. I hope they make more movies, whatever topic they like. The Burns family seems to be very multitalented. It's about time. We need fresh talent from the entertainment world.

A family friendly action romance movie (maybe not for the younger kids) that has Christian values. Production is unusually good and my entire family loved it.

Despite the financial loss of this movie, it is clearly a passion project that shows the strengths of small indie movies. I love the patriotism of this film and the grandiose of the colonial backdrop. William Reynolds is a great protagonist and finds his identity as the hero he always wanted to be in the New World. The movie feels a little too short in the second act, but I really love the story they tell. A wonderful film that is great for all ages.

A good movie with faith, action, and an American Revolution setting.
