The Freemason

What a great cast of Actors from Sean Astin (Leon Weed), Randy Wayne (Cryus Rothwell), and Alex Mckenna (Rana), to Richard Dutcher (Sheldon Lombard) making a return appearance, and Joseph James playing the voice of understanding (Jericho Beck) a 32nd Degree Freemason. You are taken along on a ride with Rana the wealth daughter and heiress, and Cryus the free-lance writer she has retained to help Leon Weed solve the mystery of her father's ritualistic murder. We learn more about them as they learn more about themselves and each other. Can they trust each other let alone anyone else? And what is this strange and cryptic group of men who are intertwined with this case? I truly enjoyed the story line. Directors turn a script into a movie; and Joseph James has done this artfully and with great skill. I enjoyed seeing his growth as a director since I first became a fan watching his last film Templar Nation. Directors work with actors; makeup artists; cinematographers; writers; and film, sound, and lighting technicians and in each film I like to see progress and a transformation over the one before. It is an ever growing process to achieve a higher level of understanding of their craft. In this film, you can see that this has happened I am looking forward to the next installment. IʘI

Great movie. Excellent suspense and a surprise ending. Couldn't ask for better entertainment.

Thank you so much for allowing the screening in Muskegon Michigan.

Sean Astin as always performed up to expectations - and my expectations for him are high due to his fine body of work, including Rudy.

Strong performances by Randy Wayne and particularly Alex McKenna. The screen comes alive when she is in the scene.

Probably one of the best Independent movies I have seen in some time. The scenes inside the Masonic Temple and the dialog develop and are true to the philosophical underpinnings of Freemasonry. The truth as to Freemasonry is far more interesting than the fiction and it was well portrayed.

The film was well put together, very professional and theatrical quality. It surpassed what I expected it to be. I felt that the film was moving at a good fast pace and kept me intrigued constantly throughout the film.

The suspense in the movie kept me on my toes and guessing. The ending was a shocking surprise. This film is not the typical "I know who did it" right off the bat. It is almost interactive with the way it keeps you wondering.

Additionally, this film lets you peak into the world of Freemasonry. This film has touches of Freemasonry wrapped throughout it and gives quite the comprehensive look into how the they operate while still being respectful. Matter in fact there are scenes in this film that are filmed at an actual Freemason temple which adds for an authentic touch.

I watched it with my friends and overall we agree that it was an enjoyable and entertaining film!

The film's opening scene had me glued to the screen, and I was pleasantly surprised to be so enthralled.

While much of the film is a slower, steadier pace, the filmmakers don't dumb down the finer details of Freemasonry. It's one of the more informative and specific portraits of Freemasonry that I've seen. (Rather than just saying "it's a secret society" and leaving it at that.)

The film is well-shot, and I appreciate the beautiful Salt Lake City location as I don't see many films set there.

The acting gets a bit stiff at times, and the plot becomes slightly choppy near the end, but overall I feel it was worth looking at.

The movie gives you a fair insight into Freemasonry. The story line is suspenseful and intriguing with twists that will keep you on your feet. Even more fun for Freemasons and their families or anyone with an interest in Freemasonry.

I love the role of the Grand Master, he was very Grand Mastery, giving credibility to the movie.

Sean Astin was fantastic, he did a great job. Alex McKenna did an excellent job at her role.

Bottom line, a great movie with an action packed ending.

Well Done!
