...Urbania benefits greatly from its director and stars, who anchor the film to a brooding thoughtfulness that could easily have been abandoned in less ambitious hands. In his directorial debut, Shear demonstrates a talent for innovative storytelling, weaving together scenes that both explain and add to Charlie's emotional turmoil. Futterman, who's probably best known as Robin Williams' straight son in The Birdcage, displays great versatility in examining the emptiness and rage from which Charlie seeks to free himself...

This one took pains to explain that building an espionage case is an "imprecise art" and that federal investigators may have "focused too soon" on Lee. The paper's editorial page has also redirected its barbs, prodding the President to appoint an independent examiner. Last week the Times maintained that "if racial profiling is found, investigators and prosecutors should be called to account for their conduct...
