"My name is Legion," he replied, "for we are many."-Mark 5: 9 Probably the best of the rebel angel apocalyptic action movies. Paul Bettany plays the angel Michael who refuses to obey God's order to wipe out mankind. As with "The Terminator," a film it kinda blatantly rips off, it all hinges on an unborn child that the evil forces (Well, actually God's forces) want to destroy. I'm not sure how sound the theology is behind this film, but for ridiculous supernatural action movies, it's pretty good. There's a particuarly effective scene with a possessed old lady in a diner. The supporting cast includes Tyrese Gibson, Lucas Black (both "Fast & the Furious" alums), Dennis Quaid, Charles S. Dutton, and Kevin Durand as the angel Gabriel. You might also like "The Prophecy," "Warlock," and the Book of Revelation. Bettany and director Scott Stewart would do another spiritual action movie together called "Priest."
