Legion Movie Pits Man Against Angel

Category: Entertainment
Watch Legion Online Free

After The Book of Eli, here comes another movie  that will try to put a stop to Avatar’s reign at the box office.

Legion is a movie involving an angel. Not exactly a “City of Angels” kind of movie but more like of the “Constantine” variety. Yes, this will be action-packed and features a fallen angel.

Paul Bettany stars as the fallen angel  Michael who leads a rat pack of strangers trying to protect a woman who might be the next Mary (Mother of Christ) from a horde of angels trying to wipe-out mankind.

Bettany has an unforgettable performance as Silas in The Da Vince Code so this movie will surely be an entertaining one as well.
