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’.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Best movie of this year hands down!
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
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.
