Synopsis

Amazon.com
James Spader, Marisa Tomei, and Keanu Reeves star in director Joe Charbanic's crime thriller about a detective tracking down a serial killer. Charbanic got his start directing MTV music videos and has developed a knack for synching sounds and visions. The music, composed and conducted by Marco Beltrami (best known for The Crow: Salvation and Scream), alternates between the tension-laden pieces that accelerate with the thrill of the chase (the old-fashioned orchestra of "Grif Gets a Girl," and the near techno "Tracking a Honda") and pastoral passages ("Turtle Luv," "Face Down") that sweep with grand majesty, either hinting under the surface that all's not well in wellsville, or abruptly exploding at an unexpected moment. These are short works ("Driven," the opener, racks up 3:26 as the longest selection here) that subtly pass as creepy orchestral miniatures, where it always feels as if someone is looking over your shoulder. Not for the paranoid. --Rob O'Connor

CD Reviews

Not What I Expected
Jade Walker | Hinsdale, NH USA | 09/19/2000
(4 out of 5 stars)

"The music in this movie was fantastic, so I immediately ordered the soundtrack. Imagine my disappointment to find NONE of the songs on the CD. Instead, this soundtrack is filled with the score of The Watcher. In and of itself, it's a fine compilation -- unfortunately, it just wasn't what I expected."
Not quite what i expected but good overall

"I bought this looking for a few songs i heard during the movie, but it's still a great score overall. PS by the way, the female singer -- whose song isn't on the soundtrack -- is PORTISHEAD, and the song is called Roads. I think it's on their "DUMMY" album..."

"Love the soundtrack, hated the movie. If you like alternative Rock, the likes of STP and 9I9, you'd like this... Enjoy!"
