Watch Legion (2010) FREE

Working from an imaginative script he co-wrote with Peter Schink, helmer Stewart hits an infrequently effective, occasionally ungainly balance between f / x-amped sequences of slam-bang action -- the eaterie is repeatedly attacked by Gabriel's minions during "Night of the Living Dead"-style attacks -- and intensely emotional, dialogue-heavy scenes augmented by hand-held camerawork. Pic cheats more than a bit by refusing to explain just what Michael and Gabriel can or can't do -- and whether either can actually be devastated -- and there's an unlucky hint of foolishness to some talks between the archangels. At one time, you half expect one or the other to shout out, "God always liked you best. Bettany conveys the right note of stoic selflessness while kicking ass and shooting guns, and Palicki credibly registers all of the anxiousness and fear you would expect of a mom-to-be who reveals her unborn baby could be humanity's last best hope.
