For Greater Glory

In 1926 Mexico, it's religious rebels versus the Federales as Church and State clash. Andy Garcia plays the former general hired to be the military leader and strategist for the band of ragtag resistors. This is the sad and painful true story of a people's struggle for religious freedom. This violent film has some hard to watch acts of cruelty. Peter O'Toole and Eva Longoria only have small roles. Vintage photos and footage run during the credits as well as a tribute the martyrs who sacrificed their lives for their cause.

Alien gives it 2 "Cristeros" stars out of 4.
