“..there may be no miracles or choirs of angels here, but religiosity, although restrained, is pervasive..”
by Stephen Holden [New York Times]
“..there are too many moral gradations, and the tale really can't be encapsulated as the struggle of one person or set of people to accomplish a goal..”
by Mick LaSalle [San Francisco Chronicle]
“..the movie takes a long time to establish its baldest development..”
by Wesley Morris [Boston Globe]

by Joe Neumaier [New York Daily News]
“..politics aside, "For Greater Glory's" main issue is this: It's an overwrought action film that will bludgeon you into submission..”
by Tom Horgen [Minneapolis Star Tribune]
“..it is plodding, lazily filmed, gassy with James Horner's score, and pads its runtime only by way of tolling repetition..”
by Nick Pinkerton [Village Voice]

by Roger Ebert [Chicago Sun-Times]
“..has all the bloody fervor of a "Braveheart;" all that's missing is its Mel Gibson..”
by Kerry Lengel [Arizona Republic]

“..bring some depth and dignity to a script that is sincere but clunky..”

“..bring coffee, because director Dean Wright's dramatization of the 3-year-long Cristero War (1926-9) seems to last longer than the Mexican conflict itself..”
by Brett Michel [Boston Phoenix]
