Legion
Legion: Misleading Title, Great Action
By Craig Peters on January 25, 2010
Though very much a challenge of humanity’s understanding of God, Legion is a good action film. Starring Paul Bettany (A Knight’s Tale) in a brilliant performance as the angel Michael. With Dennis Quaid, Tyrese Gibson, Charles Dutton and Lucas Black as mostly supporting cast members, Legion manages to both thrill and challenge while never really reaching its promise.
Paul Bettany is the Archangel Michael, instructed by God to destroy the unborn child destined to lead the world out of darkness, a darkness so profound that even God has lost faith. Michael refuses and takes up arms; his only purpose to find the child and defend him against the armies of heaven. Oddly, the armies of heaven consist of hordes of malformed demon-like angels, think George Romero only more attractive, and the angels are easily destroyed by heavy weaponry. READ MORE

Legion's New Trailer, Action Junkies Unite!
By Craig Peters on November 27, 2009
"My name is 'Legion:' for we are many," and that looks to be a great way to introduce Legion, the latest horror action flick from Screen Gems. This film was made for the 'Legions' of action junkies out here waiting for our latest fix. The trailer looks pretty good, the story elements well thought out and the plot, though derivative, quite good. With good CGI and decent direction by Scott Stewart Legion could be a winner. I'm reserving judgment, so see it at your own risk January 22, 2010. READ MORE
