Some bad movies can make you feel awful for the people who made them and worse for the audience that shows up. The actors, the script, the camera: There’s nowhere good they can go. “For Greater Glory” is that kind of bad movie: a total embarrassment. It’s an epic about the Cristero War, which more or less began in 1926 after the Mexican government outlawed all forms of religious expression while continuing an ongoing anti-Catholic campaign of persecution, torture, and murder. The movie’s length has little to do with vision, scope, or scale. The scenes just plod along without much to help distinguish them. It’s not an epic movie so much as an epic run-on sentence.
