I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

the best music ever... better than any album version.. excellent performance, especially Mark's relaxed style and Paul's pedal steel.. my vote was 10/10.. I couldn't find 20/10 :) The concert begins on daylight with catchy songs like Calling Elvis, Walk Of LIfe (check out the pedal steel guitar!!) and when the night falls, ballads like Romeo and Juliet (Sax is great!), Brothers in Arms, Private Investigations and You and Your Friend makes me regret that in 1993 I was only a kid and I was not allowed to travel abroad all by myself... that's real music and unfortunately great things do not just happen.. I suggest you also watch Pulse (Pink FLoyd), for another amazing performance.

Mark Knopfler and the boys give a concert in the Netherlands in 1992. This is a combination of material from a couple of albums (CDs), combining some of the older stuff with his new (at the time) material. While this concert isn't as good as Knopfler's "A Night In London," it's pretty solid. It's a bit more mellow and the group isn't very animated, yet the concert is a pleasing one. Good crowd shots help pump up the interest, and a fast number does come on, the impact is all the more. The crowd, despite a lot of rain, was into it here, giving great support. Europe has to have some of the best rock crowds in the world. They are dedicated fans who love their music.The best song on this tape is probably the first one: a 10-minute "Calling Elvis" version. Great stuff, but Dire Straits was always a great band and Knopfler's guitar work is about as good as it gets.

In this live show, the band surprises the audience in every song. Even playing "traditional" and well known songs, it took a while to recognize each song, because Dire Straits gave each song a new intro, with new instruments and themes. Although, they sound like recorded in a full fledged studio, the quality (and clarity) is outstanding.I've never seen, any band sound so good live. Technically excellent, and musically touching and rewarding. It was delightful re-meet the dearest band, and the dear songs, in a completely new arrangement. The only downside is that the most famous song (Sultans of Swing-1977) is missing in the DVD and in the CD.

Recorded during Dire Straits' last tour in 1992, in France, this concert confirms well a thing: Mark Knopfler is one of the most talented guitarists of his generation. He had formed his legendary band, fifteen years ago, and after all this time, he didn't lose anything from his inspiration, his sharpness and his talent. Maybe, you can blame him for not being rousing enough for the faster songs such as "money for nothing" or "the bug" but he knows very well how to be peaceful and calm for the gorgeous ballads "on every street", "brothers in arms". Moreover, he's supported by a handful of musicians in great form, especially the drummer and the percussionist. The concert unanimously acclaimed by the fans,reaches its highest point with the wistful and entrancing "local hero". At the end, a good but a bit listless concert. Nevertheless, Dire Straits' fans will find something in it.
