The film becomes an ensemble piece, with a dozen or so character actors carrying the storyline. Finally, Changeling - like most Eastwood movies - is exactly as good as its makings.

Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon publicly backed calls for a summit before the new year, saying the agency's headquarters in New York - the very "symbol of multilateralism" - should play host. Sarkozy concurred, but for different reasons: "Insofar as the crisis began in New York," he said, "then the global solution must be found to this crisis in New York...
