The Freemason

I purchased this DVD mainly because I was curious, not about Freemasonry, but how it would be portrayed. To say I was disappointed puts it mildly.

This film is badly made, badly acted and the soundtrack (music) is terrible. The story line is poor and disjointed.

A good film about or involving Freemasonry is long overdue and I had hoped that this film, with all it's hype, might just be it, but I was wrong.

Personally I think they tried to capitalize on the word 'Freemasonry' and failed.

If I could get my money back I would.

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 Freemason is a film that surpassed my expectations. I had become accustomed to see Freemasonry mentioned or alluded to in dialogs and film plots before, but this time Freemasonry plays a leading role. I have the utmost respect for the timeless and mysterious fraternity of Freemasonry, which makes me critical of any time it is portrayed in films and documentary. However, I was pleasantly surprised and delighted that Freemasonry was portrayed with such eloquence and respect.

The film begins with a murder mystery, which initially caught my attention, but the subsequent twists and turns kept me guessing throughout the entire film.

I am somewhat knowledgeable about Freemasonry and I greatly appreciated that the scenes including "Masonic Ceremonies" revealed enough to peek someones interest, yet respected the privacy and discretion of the organization by not revealing too much.

Overall, it was a very enjoyable film and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good murder mystery or suspense film.

Freemasonry in the movies is a rare and treasured thing. As a member of the fraternity, I was worried about this film divulging too much. This was not the case.

It is a perfect blend of fact and fiction to bring a great story to life. This movie has suspense, mystery intrigue and even some comedy. I watched the film with my wife and she liked it as well. This movie is definitely worth seeing.

Sean Astin plays a detective trying to solve a murder. Who did it? The Freemasons? I can't tell you, but what I can say is it will keep you guessing. Get ready for a kick @$$ ending!
