Drummer Stewart Copeland narrates the rise of legendary rock band the Police using a decades-old archive of intimate, behind-the-scenes footage shot with his own movie camera. Over the course of a few brief years, Copeland, Sting and Andy Summers work hard, play hard and hold tight as their unusual mix of power-pop and reggae takes their "little band" from obscurity in London to international stardom -- and earns them recognition as one of the most explosive power trios in music history.

Offers an often revealing if admittedly slight take on life with the lyrically and rhythmically sophisticated rock group.

A trite, whitewashed-to-blankness vanity project.

Fanciful, fun, funny, and frenetic -- all the great things about New Wave music brought gloriously into focus for posterity.

It turns out Copeland's home movies are as boring as everyone else's.

If you're an old-school Police fan, there's enough here to warrant some attention, but it's those same hardcore fans who might walk away from "Everyone Stares" wishing it had a lot more meat on its bones.

I found this an absolutely fascinating look at the Police as a touring band. It's entirely from Stewart Copeland's perspective, and shows footage shot in real time. In addition to seeing the entirety of the Police, it was also neat to see Sting's arc as a musician, and also just as being a goof when he felt like it. Working people who became stars through sheer talent and hard work.
