Review of The Architect (2006) by Michael H — 17 May 2008

You know, I want to support independent film that attempts social commentary as much as the next guy, but this is really too much. Between this and shit like "The Air I Breathe", I'm actually getting increasingly angry at Crash's oscar win from a couple of years ago, on whom I squarely place blame upon for studios greenlighting this pretentious, poorly-constructed mess.

This whole "let's get an ensemble cast of C-list actors and try to arrange several fragmented storylines into a single film" bullshit is getting out of hand. Besides the fact that The Architect is made up of a bunch of unresolved, pointless character arcs, the writing actually feels like it's talking down to you. Not to mention it's shot like an amateur college film.

Fuck these movies, fuck the studios who are jumping on this uninspired bandwagon that we're probably going to see the effects of for years to come, and fuck these actors for reading material like this and actually committing to it. Fuck.
