Synopsis: An out-of-the-way diner becomes the unlikely battleground for the survival of the human race. When God loses faith in humankind, he sends his legion of angels to bring on the Apocalypse. Humanity's only hope lies in a group of strangers trapped in a desert diner with the Archangel Michael.You can tell right away with all the typical cliches that it's going to be a movie without any real heart or identity. In this diner in the middle of nowhere we have the stereotypical black guy with a gun, rich guy with his snobbish wife and spoiled daughter, pregnant small town girl wanting to escape the boredom and the father/son duo with their issues from the father's mistakes and his son making the same ones. Add a few angels and a convoluted plot and you've got the set-up for Legion. I did get my hopes up though as right at the beginning there's some scenes in the dinner with an old lady becoming possessed that are excellent, but perhaps that's why I felt such a letdown... that was about the only scene I really dug.
I remember the trailers for this sort of leading me to believe it's an action movie, but there's really not that much action. It's way too wordy and most of the words just confuse the plot. There's never really enough to make you care about the characters either, especially since they're all so cardboard.
Some biblical crap is going on, but I just sort of kept wondering why God would suddenly decide to end it all for the planet via angels with machine guns? No... really. How about a good old fashioned flood? Might have been just as exciting.
