Martin Scorsese proved with "The Last Waltz" and "No Direction Home: Bob Dylan" that he knows music just as well as he knows movies. Scorsese gets behind the camera for a third music documentary, this time capturing the Stones' two shows at NYC's Beacon Theater during the fall of their 2006 Bigger Bang Tour.
Those expecting an exploration or documentation of the Stones' past as demonstrated in "No Direction Home" will be disappointed. Instead, "Shine a Light" follows the example set by "The Last Waltz" that showed the last live show of The Band. "Shine a Light" is almost two hours of just live performance, but what a performance it is. Jagger and the Stones show that after four decades of being together they can still rock just as hard as anyone out there.
