In Les Miserables, Jean Valjean, a criminal, is given a second chance of life when a priest shows him kindness and the whole book (and film and musical) is about the redemptive power of kindness and love. I expected this to be more of a wannabe Les Miserables, a story which has an overtly Christian moral about redemption. Our leads, Kara Killmer as Charlotte Holloway and Andrew Cheney as William Reynolds run away from a flaming windmill (some of the worst CGI in the film)

Especially John Rhys-Davies, who plays the one-dimensional villain character whose evil scheme is (spoiler alert) to blow up the Continental Congress using an electrical generator that he stole from Ben Franklin and has hidden in an underground submarine hideout! This stuff is gold. And sure, the theology in it never makes a ton of sense or seems to really matter for the plot. Sure, the characters were completely empty and devoid of ANY personality (why do the main two people fall in love? What do they like about each other?). Sure, it moves along at a break-neck pace and I was often confused about what was going on. Sure, it is wildly historically inaccurate. It is like a zany medley of several other, better films (mostly Zorro, but thereвЂ™s a bit of V for Vendetta in there and the score sounds like a crappier version of Pirates of the Caribbean).

But this is just one confusing detail in a film which is full of confusing details, bonkers plot twists, and tons of explosions.Д«ut, I will tell you this right now: I really enjoyed watching Beyond the Mask. Reynolds is not in any way a highwayman (a robber who stole from travelers, usually on country roads). Who gives Reynolds this moniker? Why, no other than Benjamin Franklin himself! There is a pretty hilarious scene where Ben Franklin, who runs the local printing press, is trying to figure out what to call this new, mysterious vigilante running around Philadelphia and says: вЂWeвЂ™ll call him what he is! A highwayman.вЂ™ This makes no sense.

Through a series of overly complicated mishaps which I wonвЂ™t bother to explain, he finds himself in the American colonies, helping the Americans fight for independence from Great Britain while dressed as a masked vigilante called вЂThe HighwaymanвЂ™. Wikipedia describes Beyond the Mask as a вЂChristian historical action-adventureвЂ™, and it follows the life of a former assassin, William Reynolds (Andrew Cheney), who wants to redeem himself and start a new life. And, oh boy, I was not prepared for what was in store! So when I heard about Beyond the Mask, a swashbuckling Revolutionary War era film released in 2015, I was curious to see it. As a lover of this time period, I am always on the lookout for new ones. I have spoken in the past about how it is a shame that there are so few books and films set during the Revolutionary War.
