While it begins in relatively straightforward fashion, by its conclusion, it damningly exposes the real Murf while calling into question a culture that celebrated him and a legal system that set him free.

Stories about the redemption of criminals are usually more interesting when the subjects are still being criminal, although this one makes a good argument that the misbehavior never really stopped. ... Mr. Cutler does not make his presence very obvious, but he does get terrific stuff out of his various interview subjects, who include Murphy's wife, Kitten; the legendary Miami crime reporter Edna Buchanan; and several of Murphy's old cronies.

A generally overlong, unsatisfying program.
