Not really an issue, except for the teenage character Audrey, who wears a skimpy, revealing outfit throughout the movie. There's also a brief discussion about abortion. Many uses of "f--k" and "s--t" in all their permutations, plus "c--t," "hell," "damn," "goddamn," "bitch," and "oh my God. Bob drinks beer in several scenes, presumably as a way to cope with his ordeal. He also offers a beer to a woman who has suffered a loss.
Many characters smoke cigarettes, including a pregnant woman though other characters scold her for it. Parents need to know that Legion is extremely violent and follows a negative, apocalyptic plotline in which God has given up on mankind and sends an army of avenging angels to wipe out most humans.

In LEGION, God has given up on mankind and has sent an army of angels to possess the bodies of the weak and wipe out the rest of humanity. Angel Michael Paul Bettany -- who was meant to lead the mission -- disobeys God's order and appears at a remote rural diner to protect pregnant waitress Charlie Adrianne Palicki , whose baby may hold the key to the future.
The rest of the humans at the diner -- an assortment of characters either lost or stuck there -- help out. Together, they battle hoards of scary, zombie-like creatures Scott Stewart of the San Francisco special effects house The Orphanage makes his directorial debut here, and it's something of a mess.
The plot doesn't often make sense, especially the question of just why waitress Charlie is "the chosen one. The battles often take place in grimy darkness -- and the result is often more numbing than it is thrilling. Still, some of the visual effects on the zombie creatures are nicely creepy, and a solid collection of actors -- including Dennis Quaid and Charles S.
