The Police: Certifiable (2008)
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’.

Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,
It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
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.
