Project Legion

This review hurts to write being that I'm a HUGE fan of Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone as a fighter. I've personally met him and he is an awesome down to earth guy.

Unfortunately his acting in this film as hard to watch. Although I'm sure it doesn't help that the storyline, script and production are all absolute trash.

Immediately you can tell the production quality is low... which would be fine if the story made any sense at all. Everything in this film seems forced and cringey.

As I said this it hurts me to write such a terrible review when it comes to the infamous Cowboys Cerrone.... But not nearly as much as it hurt to watch that movie.

If you are able to make it all the way through this film. God bless you... and may god have mercy on your soul.

Who ever wrote this needs to never write again, there's some great actors and directors that deserve to be on a mainstream platform but we got this. I feel maybe if the acting was a bit better but I was still lost with this story, it would skip so much that needed to be explained. The acting had no expression at all when in the most "serious" of situations, I feel I don't blame him for his acting because any good director would know that he wasn't ready and needed more time to improve. We would think you would get some bad ass for a main character considering he was military but it was very anticlimactic and sad. Props to Donald for doing his best but hopefully this crew learns and improves.

Of course you know it's not going to be a classic when your lead actor is a retired MMA fighter. Donald Cerrone is a bad actor and has no on screen charisma whatsoever. Watching his "I am Legend" routine is like watching a crackhead suffering from paranoid delusional schizophrenia episodses hide out in a cockroach infested motel room for an hour. Everything about this movie is crumby. It's a lame story with lame action and lame suspense and a lame plot. You could probably make a better movie with a bunch of your friends having a party in any roadside flea ridden desert motel room and using your own cell phone as a movie camera. This trash film is seriously that poorly made. 2 Stars for the Hilarious effort and a couple of chuckles, watching this dumpster fire of a video unfold into the abyss of Nothingness.

I have to admit, I didn't watch this. I gave it the old college try, but after 15 min, depression set in, followed by regret, then the strong desire to drink coupled with thoughts of suicide.

That's how bad this movie was. I've seen movies with smaller budgets do better. Believe me, money wasn't the issue. You need a decent lead actor (box unchecked), A story that makes some sort of sense (box unchecked), a real producer, you know, one of them fancy college people (box unchecked), and maybe a plan. (box also unchecked) This movie didn't appear to have any of those. So many scenes in such a short period of time didn't make sense, it almost felt purposefully done. A weird disjointed "sex" scene. Crazy Bollywood ghost lady in the hallway, stereotypical black spec ops dude talking about getting laid as soon as he gets home. Whew, it got tiring real fast to the point where I simply had to turn it off. It seems Hollywood is churning out so much this garbage, I'm almost ready to do an Elvis Presley and put a bullet in the TV and take up knitting or quilt making.

Non-actor Don Cerrone tries so hard to fill the shoes of the main character, you may actually find yourself rooting for him to pull it off - just to suspend the misery. Most of the film features Cerrone stomping around an apartment unit and mumbling to himself during a demonic invasion. He breaks some furniture, fights a couple of people in demon suits and hides in a trash bin. When you think this can't get any more absurd, he dons a sombrero and starts pasting duct tape across his window for protection, while threadbare sets waver and wobble. There's also a painfully mawkish love scene and a "surprise" ending. It's strangely watchable if you're in the right mood - half asleep perhaps - and can get into the groove, which is why I give this ***.
