At first glance, you might wonder, “What could be better than angels with machine guns?” Legion is your typical apocalyptic film only this time, it’s angels that are coming down from the heavens to wreak havoc on the world and exterminate all of humanity.

The Archangel Michael (Paul Bettany) has been sent to earth by God to carry out a mission. In defiance, Michael sides with a group of humans to protect the last remaining chance humanity has at surviving; a young waitress named Charlie whose unborn child is the savior.

As the Armageddon approaches, the group of strangers and Michael make their last stand at the rest stop, Paradise Falls. Will it be enough to hold off God and all his angels including the powerful Archangel Gabriel though?

The cast appears excellent with the likes of Paul Bettany, Denis Quaid, Kevin Durand and Tyrese Gibson. For what it was, they all do a decent job too. Unfortunately, the main protagonist of the film is also the weakest character; Lucas Black as Jeep.

First of all, what kind of name is Jeep? It’s difficult to take the apocalypse seriously when you have some southern boy running around named Jeep. Let’s not forget the fact that he acts like an idiot half the time and should have probably been the first one killed off.

Legion’s story is laughable at best. While the premise is interesting, the execution is weak. You can see this from the trailer with the crazy old woman climbing on walls and biting people. Throw in some cheesy one-liners and it becomes a borderline B-horror film, only the film attempts to be serious and isn’t exactly horror.

Many things are left unexplained as well. Why is Charlie’s baby so important? Sure, he’s to become the next leader of the world but why? The same question can be asked about the prophets and the tattoos we see on Michael. A little more of an explanation would have been nice.

The film isn’t a total failure though. Some of the best scenes come from the angels themselves, specifically Michael and Gabriel. From looking at it from a purely action point of view, the battles between the two archangels are pretty awesome. The design, from the armor to their metallic wings, is fantastic. Had the film featured just the two of them, it would have easily been an A.

Take Legion with a grain of salt. You’ll definitely have a few laughs, mostly at Jeep, but it’s definitely watchable. The action sequences are what keep things going and Paul Bettany proves he is a total badass as a fallen angel. While it attempts to be serious, you pretty much get the feel of the film from one of the opening lines. Something along the lines of, “Why did God want to destroy humanity? I don’t know, perhaps he was tired of their bullshit.”

Lucas Black, Cary Elwes join Epix pilot

Lucas Black and Cary Elwes are set to star opposite Sam Shepard in Epix's first pilot, "Tough Trade."

Meanwhile, Garrett Dillahunt has landed a co-starring role on Greg Garcia's comedy pilot for Fox, "Keep Hope Alive."

"Trade," from Lionsgate TV, exec producer/showrunner Jenji Kohan and co-exec producer/creator Chris Offutt, is a contemporary one-hour drama about the Tucker family, a Nashville music dynasty whose penchant for drink, debauchery and divorce has left it on the verge of bankruptcy.

Black will play an extremely talented guitarist and singer who could have followed in the Tucker legacy started by his grandfather (Shepard) and father (Elwes) but has no interest in pursuing a career in country music. Instead, he makes his money selling illegal ammunition around Nashville.

Epix brass is eyeing "Tough Trade" as the premium cable channel's first original series and aiming for a 2010 premiere.

Black starred in "The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift" and next appears in "Get Low." Elwes co-stars in "Disney's A Christmas Carol."

The single-camera "Hope," from 20th TV, centers on Jimmy (Lucas Neff), a 25-year-old man raising an infant with the help of his quirky family after the mother of the baby, with whom he had a one-night stand, ends up on death row.

Dillahunt will play Jimmy's dysfunctional father and boss, who is not thrilled to find himself a grandfather and worries that the baby might carry her mom's homicidal gene.

"Hope" marks Dillahunt's return to Fox, where he co-starred on the drama series "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles."

Dillahunt, who also co-starred in "No Country for Old Men," is repped by Gersh and Allman/Rea Management.
