Bryan Singer, whose last film was the crisply devious crime thriller The Usual Suspects, has narrowed his focus from that film's gang of five to a two-hander in Apt Pupil, from a Stephen King story. The other three directors have bought a big canvas (at a cut rate) and splashed strange people on it till it's as busy as a Bruegel. Solondz has a dozen major characters trudging through Happiness. Stanley Tucci, the co-writer, co-director and star of everyone's favorite Italian-food film, Big Night, has created a shipful of fools in his farce...

If honesty is the test, Starr fails: this was and is a dishonest investigation. He gleefully created crimes by asking questions that should never have been asked, knowing that no person could answer them honestly without hurting others and so would be tempted to lie. Clinton's lies are low crimes and misdemeanors. His punishment should be, at most, censure, but it seems superfluous. Does anyone doubt that...
