...Nervously, the teens ease down a narrow stairway into a dark, dank room where an old man in a tank top sits surrounded by garbage bags full of dried 'shrooms, which he doles out in tiny, $4.80 bags. The teenagers say they'll buy 15, hoping to save some for friends back home. They re-emerge on the street, with their stash in a paper bag. Later they'll eat the mushrooms, maybe mixing them with bananas or yogurt to cut the bitter taste. "I'll try anything I don't have to shoot up," says Doi, 18. "I just...

Some have stopped eating because of homesickness and one bear has passed away...

We've seen O'Neill's bulldog lawman too often, as well as the hackneyed Noo-Yawk elements: the title, the waterfront scenes, the fast-talking thugs constantly declaring their ethnicity, swearing, spouting colorful cliches or all three ("Kiss my underpaid Irish ass!"). The dank, moody tone is dead-on, though, and a strong cast includes the welcome David Strathairn as the stressed-out head of the FBI force. It's hardly the cure-all for Thursdays-at-10 malaise, but this Apple at least has a chance of keeping the doctors...
