“Angels Fallen: Warriors Of Peace” (**1/2 out of four) was a corny but combustible sequel to the 2020 original about a war veteran (Josh Burdett) who receives a calling from an angelic higher power (Cuba Gooding, Jr.) and others (Denise Richards, William McNamara, Randy Couture) to prevent an army of the dead from taking over the world. Maudlin and contrived but moves along quickly and efficiently and features so many familiar faces in the cast that it winds up surprisingly watchable. A little long but film’s fiery and exciting final third makes it worth it.
