The Police: Certifiable
Concert film of The Police during the 2007-08 reunion tour. Recorded in concert in Buenos Aires at the beginning of December 2007, it’s released on the band’s original label, A&M, via Universal. Recording the Argentinian leg of the band’s momentous reunion tour, the album captures the three piece in concert, crammed with every hit from ‘Message in a Bottle’, ‘Walking on the Moon’, ‘Don't Stand So Close to Me’, ‘Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic’, ‘Wrapped Around Your Finger’, ‘Can't Stand Losing You’, ‘Roxanne’ and ‘Every Breath You Take’, closing with the punk urgency of the first track from their 1978 debut, ‘Next to You’.

Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.
if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.
This is just about the best concert movie I have seen. The "Better Than Therapy" documentary about the reunion and tour gives an insight into the band's dynamic and their approach to the tour and music. Stewart Copeland is always humorous and witty and Sting is, well, Sting and that is what we want from our heroes. Andy Summers is an astonishing 65 years old-does not look it and plays like a dream. The best musicians in their genre without a doubt. As for the film itself - on Blu-ray it is amazing, the quality of the camera-work and lighting is superb as is the sound. The best, crispest pictures I have seen and the band's performance is every bit as good as one would have it. Copeland is a marvellous drummer to listen to and watch and Sting is a consummate performer. I recommend this DVD to anyone whether a die-hard Police fan or not.
