Ron Perlman's arsenal of morally ambiguous protagonists just got heftier with "Hand of God," the latest offering from Amazon. Perlman, best known for straddling the ethical line in "Hellboy" and "Sons of Anarchy," plays a corrupt judge who reacts to his son's attempted suicide by becoming a born-again Christian — with a set of questionable commandments that include ordering the assassination of a seemingly innocent suspect.
