Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
Howard Shore is competent but more traditional in these underscores to this not-so-inspiring story about a corrupt community populated and run by police. The London Philharmonic Orchestra provides Shore's funereal signature, but a few upbeat and brightly contemplative moments also materialize. Shore recorded the orchestra in England's All Saints Church and then manipulated this acoustic track to blend with an electronic score of atonal "environmental/industrial sounds." The most novel feature, the mysterious addition of an intermittent bagpipe, has no direct relation to the plot, but the effect is still a bit mesmerizing. This is simply good dramatic action-thriller music that builds to an obvious linear crescendo, but it can also function independently of the film--that is, if listeners prefer a bleaker background to orchestrate their day. --Joseph Lanza
