I have to admit that though I've heard news about the opioid crisis, I'm not really that familiar with the subject. In fact, prior to watching this film I didn't even know what Fentanyl was, which is apparently a powerful synthetic pain killers that's similar to morphine but is 50 to 100 times more potent. …
