8 / 10

Cool horror/action hybrid
A motley assortment of folks at a remote rundown roadside diner are forced to fight the forces of evil alongside warrior archangel Michael (a fine and credible performance by Paul Bettany), who must protect the unborn baby of waitress Charlie (an appealing portrayal by Adrianne Palicki) from said forces of evil.

Director/co-writer Scott Stewart relates the enjoyable and engrossing off-the-wall story at a snappy pace, makes good use of the dusty’n’desolate desert locations, takes time to develop the characters, ably crafts a creepy and unsettling atmosphere, generates a considerable amount of tension, and stages the exciting action with rip-roaring aplomb.

The sound acting by the capable cast keeps this movie humming: Dennis Quaid as crusty skeptic Bob Hanson, Charles S. Dutton as amiable cook Percy Walker, Tyrese Gibson as surly hoodlum Kyle Williams, Lucas Black as smitten decent dude Jeep, Kevin Durand as lethal and dutiful rival angel Gabriel, Willa Holland as brash teen Audrey, Kate Walsh as the prissy Sandra, and Jon Tenney as uptight yuppie Howard. Moreover, there are neat cameos from Jeanette Miller as sweet, but sinister little old lady Gladys Foster and Doug Jones as a possessed ice cream man. The fact that the basic plot plays like a crazy religious version of The Terminator only adds to the infectiously loopy fun. A super nifty flick.Read More
