Starring Anthony LaPaglia, Viola Davis, Isabella Rossellini, Hayden Panettiere, Sebastian Stan, Walton Goggins, and Paul James
A harrowing and ultimately human story of two very different families. Leo Waters (Lapaglia) is an idealistic architect and patriarch of an affluent, suburban Chicago family. Tonya Neeley (Davis) is a pragmatic activist who is trying to keep her family together while living in one of the city’s most drug and crime-infested public housing projects. As part of her ongoing campaign to have the projects torn down and decent housing built in its place, Tonya decides that the one signature she needs more than any other on her petition is that of the projects’ original architect, Leo Waters.

Rit B gave it a4:
The Architect is like the framework of a building, something that looks like it has potential but which can’t be used until it is finished. The characters in this movie need to be fleshed out with more detail. Everyone is unhappy, everyone has a problem but it is never made clear as to why they are unhappy, and what caused their problems. The acting was decent but the story lacked cohesiveness and content.
