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 ]
the film is ultimately a stodgy, overblown and repetitive slog
by Robert Abele [Los Angeles Times ]
the fight for religious freedom is bloody in this picture, and inspiring as well
by Soren Anderson [Seattle Times ]
stay strong even through a surplus of blood and tears
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 ]
in its use of locations and sets, it's an impressive achievement by director Dean Wright, whose credits include some of the effects on the "Lord of the Rings" films
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
Review rate : B-
by Nell Minow [Beliefnet ]
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 ]
