As John Wick is asked at a gas station, if he would sell his Ford Mustang, he denies ....
But the one who asked the question has no "no" when he wants something - he gets it.
Not only that he later steals the car and John missed a few scratches - he must assassinate even John's beloved little dog, who had more than just a special meaning for John ....
After that gets the old saying "Let sleeping dogs should not wake you" a whole new meaning - as many dog can be a beast ....
For this brutal vendetta first rate class timbered Tyler Bates along with Joel J. Richard a knotless synth score, despite all the electronics provides more than often a wonderful handmade impression of straight reminds you of Rage Against The Machine !!!!
And even if you have not yet seen the movie, "says" this score the listener more than impressive, that powder keg on two legs of this John Wick (Watch the cover once exactly to) really is:
This score goes straight to the point, he's gruff and he's tough, he has strength and tidy pace, he is quite melodic (apart from some scene related atonal tips) - and he will awaken the listener's inner demons to life when you not careful !!!!
Le Castle Vania is performed in the credits with "Additional music composed by" - and its four tracks lead set by Bates and Richard roadmap continues - only rhythmic, even electronic, absolutely from the feeling "Fast & Furious" ....
There are also quite melancholy and bitersüsse moments, but these are presented by distorted or out of tune instruments, so you can not get lost in them, but they convey a sad impression of what John Wick lost and how much it really means to him .. ..
And the quiet, almost spherical moments of the score, the one of Harry Gregson-Williams' score to "The Replacement Killers - The Replacement Killers" remember, are nothing more welcome than small interlude, which can breathe a: The famous calm before the Storm ....
When breath also interspersed songs by The Candy Shop Boys, M86 & Susie Q, Kaleida and Ciscandra Nostalghia help (a rarity on soundtracks made by Varese Sarabande), which could not be more different by its texture ago: I'm usually not a fan by this method, which interrupts the flow score, but here at "JOHN WICK" comes quite well before the musical revenge continues relentlessly ....
Not necessarily a musical experience for every-day-enjoy, but a genuinely weighty superb item, the waiting to be discovered!
"JOHN WICK" by Tyler Bates and John J. Richard:
A real recommendation !!!!
