Angels and demons take on humanity The assaulting hordes are demons and angels from heaven, and these angels and their spawn aren't taking any prisoners. God has given up on the human race and is ready to wipe us out again. Profane, silly and blasphemous, "Legion" (R, 100 minutes) begins well, then plunges into the abyss of tedium. For a few minutes the cast and crew recognize it as preposterous and play along. Dennis Quaid, Lucas Black, Adrianne Palicki and others yell, "What the hell IS this?" as hell rains down on them. Charles S. Dutton shouts, "I gotta get my Bible. SOMEbody's got to start praying!" And then the angel Michael (Paul Bettany) shows up, shorn of his wings. He's locked and loaded -- and he's on humanity's side. It's all about fending off the forces of the Lord long enough to give humanity a little hope. The movie contains strong, bloody violence and profanity; DVD extras include feauturettes.
