5.0 out of 5 stars The score is better than the film, March 8, 2005

Yes, this is a case where the music is much better than the film. There is an interesting combination of moody country inflection from David Torn's guitar with heavy dark orchestral movement.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of Burwell's best!, April 3, 2001

This review is from: The Chamber: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)

This is an excellent score which goes with a not so averge movie. John Grishams "The Chamber" is a tale of the moral complexities of capital punishment while the movie deals primarly with a convoluted conspiracy which goes to the the highest levels of government. Had James Foley kept true to the novel I still believe Burwell would have scored the film the same way- dark and unsettling. The one thing I like about this score is how its theme goes from a darker tone "Two Small Bodies" and evolves with the movies primary character Sam Cayhall into its more beautiful rendition in "The End". Besides these tracks five others which are powerful are "Dark Roots of the Tree", "Parchman Farm, By Car", "Hall of Records", Tale of the Laurel Tree", and "The Chamber".
