Reviews of the film have been negative. Nomad of Dread Central gave the film 1 1/2 out of five, saying, "The finished product is shockingly bad. If countless angles of people firing guns with spent shells clinking to the ground is all your heart yearns for, then Legion may be your ideal Saturday night.
