Watch Outlaws - For Greater Glory For Free

Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

How sad is this?

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

For Greater Glory was a great movie. The movie trailer made it look as boring as mess, and the reviews on here made me not even want to go to the theater let alone park in the parking lot. There were some slow parts of the movie but that was rare. The movie was the total opposite of a History lesson or Hot air and I loved it and this is coming from a 16 year old girl. To tell you the truth I cried once during the movie, but in order to find out why, you have to see the movie for yourself. Forget these reviews about how crappy and stupid it is. It's great, but only you can be the judge of that because everyone has their own preferences. In my opinion, you should see this great and inspiring movie.

You can tell that a lot of the people involved in "For Greater Glory" really believed in what they were doing but unfortunately that doesn't cancel out the film's glaring weaknesses. FGG tries to tell too many stories at once and as a result, the entire production seems to meander endlessly without getting to any point. There are, by my count, five major sub-plots in FGG besides the central story of General Gorostieta (Garcia's character). Even at 144 minutes, the movie just doesn't have enough time to deal with all of this material and in trying to do so, it bogs down and doesn't even tell Gorostieta's story all that well. To me, the big change of heart the General had at the end seemed to come out of nowhere.Also not helpful, given that it's a war movie, is that the numerous action scenes are not well paced. Another minor prob was that Eve Longoria was not believable at all as Gorostieta's pious Christian wifey. Yet another weakness was the relationship between Peter O'Toole (as an old priest) and Mauricio Kuri (as a cute, little altar boy). In this day and age seeing a Catholic priest kissing and stroking the brow of an altar boy is freaky to say the least. Unless you're a very devout Catholic, the scenes between them are probably going to creep you out. People of a saltier temperament may laugh at loud...On the plus side, the cinematography is often beautiful. Andy Garcia gives a good performance and has enough screen time to make seeing FGG worthwhile for his fans.

Good actors but not true. The cristeros were manipulated by the Catholic church to help them keep the power in political decisions and the Government was tired of the religion being involved in many important political and economical decisions, so The Catholic Church and the Government are very equal in how detrimental have been in the life of that great country, they both used the population of Mexico to solve their differences. It is very sad that the manipulation that for hundreds of years the Catholic religion has had over the people of Mexico is glorified in this cheese movie. There are two sides to every story and both sides are horrible, in this case; but at least the separation of church and state in Mexico helped that one of the tyrants was out of the political decisions of the country. Mexico has been consumed by the fear and guilt that the Catholic Church imposed over its good people for so long and the corrupt government has been sucking the life of the amazing people of that country for so many years as well. There is still a lot of religious power ( fear) over the Mexican and Latin-American people, as corrupt and heartless is the Catholic church as are the Governments that have bled all those countries for such long time. and all done in the name of GOD :-)

This story is a one-sided view of a war in Mexico. It is filled with fabrications and historical inaccuracies. It's nothing more than a pro-Catholic self promoting vehicle filled with overly simplified dramatization of historical events.The only thing which is true about this movie was there were people fighting each other and thousands of people were killed. One side was pro-government and the other side was pro-catholic. Oh and that it took place in Mexico.Overall the movie was a waste of time and resources. It didn't win any awards from the ALMA, though it was nominated for five awards. The amount of money it took in was also less impressive with $9.6 million earned but cost $12 million to make.
