Solid Comeback what works just limited to CD

Two years is Harry Gregson-Willams last big project before her. After Total Recall, the successful composer adopted in a break, now he's back and takes over with the equalizer immediately, a project which is doing well. The action thriller perfectly fits the talents of Gregson-Williams and friends of the composer will immediately hear who is at work here.

The album starts very quiet and full of atmosphere. Synthesizer, piano and subtle strings create a beautiful sound which brings good mood. Gradually, the sound is more driven by rhythm and a little way more aggressive. The electronics increasingly dominated and the general tone of the music gets faster. In 10 minutes' Its all a Lie the typical style of Action Gregson-Williams is right by good and very reminiscent eg Total Recall.

It lacks the album unfortunately threads that hold the whole together or keep the music better remembered. For the film certainly many places are suitably processed with a lot of sound design, which works only partially on CD, very little melodic passages can be heard as a whole.

In the places where it is loud, I still had the feeling that not everything was maxed and ultimately not as good as it could have been. In other soundtracks from him you like better heard.

The piano in the first 3 titles builds the mood to good and the guitar in the last track goes well, otherwise there is very little organic music which can be found here. The course fits well in the movie but lacks partly as a contrast to the rhythms of the machine.

Conclusion: For the film, very functional and also on CD with its moments this score unfortunately missing themes or pieces that inspire and properly remembered.
