I was aware of what went on in Mexico in the 1920's but did not know the extent. We in the USA are also in danger of being subject to the government in every facit of our lives. Social Security just ordered hollo point bullets. Google it and you'll see it's true.

Loved this movie!!! I'm born and raised in southern California (right above Mexico!) and love history too and I never knew anything about this period in Mexico's history!! What the Cristeros went through, and the people that were killed but they still fought for the freedom of religion and the freedom to walk into a Roman Catholic church and pray was so moving!! Everyone needs to see this movie and I feel all high school history classes must see this!!!

This movie is the most emotionally moving show I've seen in a long time. It is excellent beyond my power to describe! LOVED IT! I'm buying this one! But why does BB allow 14 spam reviews to stay up, dragging down this fine film's ratings?

    If you claim to be Roman Catholic then see this film. In the USA we are never told what happened to our Catholic brothers and sisters in 1926 in Mexico. This film is historical. Yes, people get killed. But the violence is not gratutious. You will appreciate your faith and your circumstances alot more after seeing this film. Even the American Knights Of Columbus tried to desperately help the Cristeros in Mexico (shown in a short film that comes with the DVD, very briefly mentioned in the movie). Andy Garcia gives a 5 star performance. Peter O'Toole does not disappoints. Mr. O'Toole gives a fine acting performance - one of his very last after retiring from the stage. Very moving. Yes, some people will cry. Others will not. Excellent film. Glad it was made.

    Racella S. 10/26/12 The Cristero War started when a new regime began to persecute priests and the Catholic Church in Mexico in the 1920's. It began in small pockets of resistance but soon engulfed the whole of the country. Andy Garcia plays their general who fights because he believes in religious freedom. Many who fought , including this general, later become official martyrs of the church. There is "necessary" brutality . The beliefs of the church are forefront. The thing that is most important here is that most folks in the USA have never heard of this war and do not know that it even happened. This movie is well made. Ladies grab the box of facial tissues for all the tears you will shed. This movie is not for the faint-heart...but believe me you will always remember it.
