Beyond the Mask is a 2015 American Christian historical action-adventure film starring Andrew Cheney, John Rhys-Davies, and Kara Killmer and directed by Chad Burns.[5] Taking place during the American Revolution, the film follows an ex-mercenary (Andrew Cheney) who attempts to redeem himself from a life of murder by becoming a masked vigilante helping to overthrow the British in the colonies. It received a limited, one-night release and mostly negative reviews from critics.

Beyond The Mask received many negative reviews, but largely positive reviews from the Christian community.

The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes lists a 25% approval rating for the film, based on 12 major media reviewers (including the Los Angeles Times and Chicago Tribune). The Christian movie review site PluggedIn gave the film four out of five "Plugs" (Units for measuring family-friendliness).The Christian media site BreatheCast gave the film four stars, saying "The movie's fight choreography and period costuming are to be commended. With a slim budget of $4 million, Burns Family Productions manages to create a film that visually rivals many big budget movies of the same genre (such as 'The Count of Monte Cristo' and 'Zorro'.) Variety (magazine) gave the film a largely negative review, calling it a "a mostly stiff, infrequently stirring attempt to furnish a swashbuckling historical yarn for Christian audiences...onscreen mayhem...makes a pretty odd fit with Will’s spiritual journey." However, they positively reviewed the acting, calling the lead actors "likeable leads" and "Rhys Davies['s]...bellicose, two-dimensional villainy makes for undeniably enjoyable viewing."

The Hollywood Reporter gave a similar review, stating "Working with an obviously limited budget, director Burns does a reasonable job of re-creating the historical period with the aid of CGI and matte effects, although it was probably overreaching to depict Franklin's newfangled electricity as an incendiary tool. More problematically, the numerous action sequences are unconvincingly staged, with Reynolds at one point launching into martial arts moves that he presumably learned on a trip to the Far East. And while Rhys-Davies makes for an ever-reliable villain, the two leads are fatally bland, with Cheney lacking the charisma to make us care about his reformed character and Killmer achieving little more than looking exceedingly pretty." While Movieguide gave the film a largely positive review, it noted that Beyond The Mask is "a low quality movie. The storyline is a drawn out for no apparent reason. The graphics are television quality. Also, the hair and makeup aren’t well done." The LA Times called the film a "stagy, overstuffed costume drama" and "preachy," and complained of a "cut-and-paste script by Stephen Kendrick and Paul McCusker that manages to drag into the fray Benjamin Franklin (Alan Madlane), who dutifully proceeds to offer up a medley of his greatest quotes."
