As generic as the title, this historical drama spares no cliche in depicting Mexico's Cristero War of the late 1920.

It's the stuff of real life, and of high drama, but Dean Wright's directorial debut translates little of that latter quality to the screen.
William Goss, Film.com

"For Greater Glory" is at times so heavy-handed that the movie itself seems at war. Unfortunately, the enemy is not just a repressive administration, but the audience.
Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post
Rotten
This historical drama about the little-known Cristero War in 1920s Mexico is more educational than involving.
Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter
Rotten
Despite enough good intentions to pave a four-lane highway, the ardently sincere but dramatically unfocused For Greater Glory plays like a multipart miniseries that has been hacked down to feature length.
