Awesome awesome movie. Now I wish their were sequels to this movie. The old lady freaked me out when I first saw this. That scene alone got me hooked on this movie.

It’s taken long enough, but finally God has had enough with humanity and so sends the archangel Gabriel (Kevin Durand) to eradicate mankind from the face of the earth. This is all going quite smoothly until the last bastion of humanity starts to put up a fight. These folks are holed up in a remote American diner where the pregnant “Charlie” (Adrianne Palicki) manages to convince archangel Michael (Paul Bettany) that her child could offer an hope of salvation for mankind. Persuaded, he agrees to folds his wings away and decides to help out. Can he thwart the combined assault of his erstwhile brethren, though, and continue to defy his boss? Indeed, is his rebellion maybe all part of a greater deific plan? Bettany is actually quite good here, in a fit and hammy sort of fashion, and the dark and dingy visual effects also work quite well - but the story is pretty weak and I couldn’t help thinking this was more of an angelic version of a John Ford film only with a busted BMW rather than a stagecoach. Don’t look for good writing or powerful characterisations, here - you’ll hurt your eyes, but if you just want a celestial battle of wills, feathers and samurai swords then this is a perfectly watchable action adventure that kills time effortlessly and forgettably.
