Most people would have expected this film to be an insight in the early days of the Rolling Stones and it's ill-fated founding member Brian Jones. Unfortunately, it seems to be that we were wrong as it actually provides very little insight and tells us an incredible story that he was murdered by builder Frank Thorogood and then Thorogood makes a confession on his death bed that looks certain to have been incoherent ramblings while some of Jones' former girlfriends too make up the conspiracy theories. It had also taken more than a decade for director Stephen Woolley to piece this film together but it had with hindsight, turned out to be boring, a bit of a near-miss and a disappointment. Brian Jones' time with the Rolling Stones was in fact an increasingly high and turbulent affair. The changeover of the management team behind the Stones lead to Jones' position of fall-outs and absences from several gigs and eventual decline. By June 1969, Jones was under pressure to quit the Stones. Less than a month later, he was found dead in his swimming pool.
