I'll be the first to admit that I had no interest in seeing everyone stares: The Police Inside Out. I'm just not a Police fan; not that I didn't enjoy their music, they were just before my time. So when I got dragged to a documentary about the band, I had no idea what to expect,and was fearing the worst. I mean most music docs about bands from that era consist of new talking head interviews mixed with stock live concert footage. This film had neither.

rise to fame and their lives as celebrities. But that's not to say
there won't be some boring slow moments for non-fans like myself, the
good news is that they are well spread out. But again the slower
character moments will be the true treasure for the long time followers of the band.
