Project Legion

Every once in a while, a movie comes along that is so bad, it literally is painful to watch. Project Legion is THAT kind of movie.

I actually forced myself to get through this pile of garbage (albeit in two separate sittings) just so I can see how bad it could get. And it spiraled downward into toilet level movie making. Project Legion is beyond terrible in every way imaginable. The acting is horrible. The editing is even worse. The story line makes absolutely no sense.

Honestly, this movie deserves ZERO stars. But since that's not an option, I begrudgingly gave it one. Anyone associated with this movie needs to have their head examined. Maybe I should too since I sat through the whole thing.

I hadn't heard about this 2022 movie titled "Project Legion" before sitting down to watch it. However, I must say that the movie's synopsis sounded interesting enough.

I am rather amazed that writers Lance Kawas, Michael Pizzimenti, James Raptoplous and John Sullivan could collectively managed to churn out something as bad as what "Project Legion" turned out to be. Strange why not a single writer would stop and go 'something is amiss here'. The storyline in this movie was utter rubbish and just downright laughably poor written.

Now, I have no idea who Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone is, nor do I have any urge to find out. But a leading actor capable of carrying a movie he was not. The acting in this movie was every bit as wooden, rigid and bad as the script and storyline. So at least those went hand in hand.

Visually then "Project Legion" was actually okay. But the special effects could do nothing to lift up the movie, given its total absense of a properly functioning storyline and lack of proper acting.

Trust me when I say that "Project Legion" is not worth the time, money or effort. I even fell asleep during the ordeal of sitting through this movie. I ended up just turning off the movie not even having made it 40 minutes into the 90 minutes that the movie ran for. And believe me when I say that I am not ever returning to give "Project Legion" a second chance.

"Project Legion" was through and through a massive swing and a miss. I am sure that the concept idea for "Project Legion" might have worked out well enough in the idea phase of its creation, but the transition from idea to script and finally on to the screen just didn't work.

My rating of "Project Legion" lands on a two out of ten stars.

OMG, no.

Have knw idea who Cerrone is but he sure cant act.

Doesnt matter however because the writing and directing (and dumb sound effects) are so bad you won't notice.

The randomly inserted sex scene early on is with what looks like a 50 year old woman. That's how bad this movie is. They couldnt even get some hot babe to be in it!

The entire movie looks like it was shot with an iphone. No one even bothered to check the lighting. It's attrocious.

And the way you can recognize the demons s that for somehow walk on hands and feet with their torsos pointed to the sky.

My goodness, this is one of the worst movies ever made.

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.

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 ***.
