In the supernatural action thriller "Legion," an out-of-the-way diner becomes the unlikely battleground for the survival of the human race.
First off there is a lot of reasons not to like this movie, but somehow wedged between the plot holes and wooden acting is an above average popcorn action flick.
The plot is all about God giving up on Humans and sending his angels down to exterminate us. One angel amongst his Legion (see what i did there) does not agree with the man upstairs and decides to defend mankind. This is played in the form of Michael ( Paul Bettany - the Da Vinci code) as a rogue angel who cuts off his wings and makes an entrance not to dissimilar to Kyle Reese in the Terminator. So far, so good. Then the film takes us to a road diner where the mother of the saviour of mankind is a waitress. Things start going wrong when a granny goes bananas and crawls over the ceiling being shot at. From here the cast get picked off one by one by the possessed humans try to take out the diner and its inhabitants.
The plot is so thin and not a lot is explained. This is a shame because the subject matter to me is intriguing ( being an avid fan of Supernatural the TV series) and with a little more depth could of been something special.
So what you get is a dumb action movie that will mildly excite but frustrate you more due to the unanswered questions and stupid plot holes.
A shame really
