Legion sees a group of strangers at a diner in the desert when the Archangel Michael arrives and explains that God has lost faith in mankind and has sent His angels to destroy the human race. He also reveals that the waitress Charlie's baby is destined to be the savior of mankind, and that it must stay alive if humanity is to have any hope of surviving. Hundreds of cars approach, filled with people possessed by angels who begin to attack the diner to try and get to Charlie. The remainder of the film is the pursuit to stay alive and keep your humanity.
While this film doesn't reach the fantastical edge its trying to, the idea is a great one it's just a shame that the script doesn't provide the necessary point of getting from one sequence to another with ease. Paul Bettany however is a badass who knows how to fight a guy twice his size and make it look as easy as washing the dishes. It's stunning visually and I actually like the fact that the film ends with quote it began with. Also starring Dennis Quaid, Tyrese Gibson, Lucas Black and Adrianne Palicki.
