...least 13 people have overdosed on heroin in New York City in the past week, prompting a scare -- at least in the media -- that a powerful new form of the drug, "China Cat," is sweeping through the region and could widen its orbit. Police say one sample tested a lethal 94 percent pure, and that the overdoses are a sign of heroin's resurgence in a city where up to half the nation's 600,000 addicts live...

If the filmmakers lose the show's sharpness by converting it to the large screen with broad gestures, they can live with it. Doubtless all the rest...
