2.0 out of 5 stars Oh, There Is That Trailer Song!, January 31, 2004

By 

Lawrence McKnight (Little Rock, Arkansas USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Jackal: Music from and Inspired by the Motion Picture (Audio CD)

What led me to buy this CD is the song "Red Tape" by Agent Provocateur. I was originally looking for the Trailer song to the movie "Underworld", because I thought the song and trailer went really cool together. The next thing I know, "Underworld" does not have it under their soundtrack and I was given the hint that the movie "Jackal" had it. Why, I don't know, maybe some financal reasons with the production company. So, for those who were looking for the "Underworld" trailer song, it is here on the "Music from and Inspired by The Jackal" CD. The songs are pretty cool if you are into that rave music.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Original Score to "The Jackal" by Carter Burwell, January 5, 2007

By 

Maelstrom "VMIFerrari" (Florida) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Jackal: Music from and Inspired by the Motion Picture (Audio CD)

This has nothing to do with the "soundtrack" that features various artists, but for those of you who are interested there was a VERY limited special edition of the score released for collectors a few years back. I do not know the production numbers, but needless to say I've only seen one (My own copy) so it is incredibly difficult to find. If you are a fan of the awesome themes heard in the film then this is the CD you need to look for. The complete score features 20 Tracks total and has a running time of 42:27. If you are lucky enough to track down a copy of this awesome and extremely rare score, here is what you'll get:

1. Mulqueen (1:31)
2. Van (1:14)
3. Moscow (0:59)
4. Helsinki (1:37)
5. Montreal (2:30)
6. Preston (0:56)
7. Transaction (0:24)
8. Valentina (1:26)
9. Isabella (1:24)
10. Flight (2:05)
11. MVD FBI (0:48)
12. Jackal (6:23)
13. First Lady (3:26)
14. Boat (3:18)
15. Recognition (3:21)
16. Washington (1:42)
17. S.W.A.T. (0:50)
18. Tunnel (1:36)
19. Subway (5:11)
20. End (1:55)

The limited release of the score is more costly than the soundtrack, but it is the only way you can enjoy Carter Burwell's masterful music from the movie.

2.0 out of 5 stars The Jackal (Soundtrack), December 11, 1999

By 

Joseph P. Hougnon (Sacramento, California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Jackal: Music from and Inspired by the Motion Picture (Audio CD)

The "incidental music" from "The Jackal" is unique and powerful. The main theme that runs throughout the movie is captivating, generating strong emotions in the listener. Unfortunately, the best music from the movie, including the main theme, is not present on the CD - that includes music "from and inspired by" the movie.

When I ordered the soundtrack to "The Jackal", I was hoping to hear the wonderful music of Carter Burwell, who is credited for the music in "The Jackal".

When will Hollywood stop deciding for listeners/consumers what they think they want to hear, and let us hear what we actually request?
