here’s a new breed of Christian
movie in town - the Christian
action / adventure flick!

Beyond the Mask tells the story of William
Reynolds, an assassin for the British East
India Trading Company, circa the mid
1700’s. Everything is going great until
Reynolds tells his employer that he’s done
and wants out. He is forthwith marked for
death.
When an attempt on his life fails, Reynolds
assumes the identity of a murdered pastor
and tries to begin his life anew. But time
and circumstance soon catch up with him,
and once again he finds himself on the run
from his former employee. He ends up in
the American colonies, and while there

uncovers a plot that will lead to the
destruction of those who seek
independence from British rule.
What follows is a fun filled, action packed
tale as Reynolds dons a mask and cloak,
and takes up the gauntlet of protecting
the innocent and bringing the bad guys
to justice… think Zorro and The Lone
Ranger.
Beyond the Mask is an excellent movie. It
is well written, brilliantly acted, and the
production is nothing short of
spectacular. The soundtrack by Jurgen
Beck is amazing. Music plays such an
important role in movies, something that
Christian filmmakers all-too-often
overlook (consider Raiders of the Lost
