Synopsis

Amazon.com

Director Tony Scott's tale of an ex-Marine-turned-bodyguard (Denzel Washington) who responds to the kidnapping of his young charge and her family with a violence-drenched cycle of revenge and torture is driven by the filmmaker's typically manic visual sense. English composer Harry Gregson-Williams, whose conjured similar action-oriented synth-symphony fusion scores for The Rundown and Spy Game, deftly expands the dimensions of that bi-polar musical sensibility here, infusing it with gentle ethnic folk touches and the ever-savory sonic contributions of Lisa Gerrard. The composer matches Scott's visually jarring action sequences with a melange of strangled guitar riffs, metallic rhythms and aggressive electronic soundscapes, contrasting them masterfully against quiet piano passages and brooding symphonic pastoralism. Contemporary Latin ballads by Gabriel Gonzalez and Cuban singer/songwriter Carlos Varela help cement the score's foreign intrigue, while Gerrard (arguably the MVP of soundtrack utility players) contributes a smart remix of the title track and collaborates with Gregson-Williams on the haunting "The End," which also features her distinctly exotic vocals. The result is a spiritual cousin to Hans Zimmer's similarly compelling brew of electronica and world music for Black Hawk Down. -- Jerry McCulley

Where's the Main Theme?

M. Cloud | Deep woods, Ga. | 03/18/2005

(2 out of 5 stars)

"The primary reason I wanted to buy this CD was the main theme "Man on Fire" by Lisa Gerrard, and it's not even on the CD? That 'remix' doesn't cut it. I can't believe they left this beautiful, haunting track off. No sale here."

A Travesty

Lou Dawg El' Fantastico | Chicago, Illinois United States | 03/07/2006

(2 out of 5 stars)

"I purchased this CD for only one song, Una Palabra by Carlos Varela. It is the very first track. Come to find it is a shortened version of the original song. The full version is 2 minutes and 27 seconds. The version on the soundtrack is 1 minute and 14 seconds. Why someone would want to cut 73 seconds off such a short but beautiful song is a travesty. Why it's madness, I tell you...and my soul demands justice! Luckily I was able to find the full version on the internet, but of course that was $14 later.

All kidding aside, it's not a bad CD entirely...if you're into that Harry Gregson-Williams hooty-tooty crap. As a matter of fact, I encourage you to get into him. Just so happens I got a CD for sale if you're interested. Say...$13.99?"
