Great Ingriedients, Not So Great Results


Michael Mann

Tangerine Dream

Scott Glenn

Gabriel Byrne

Ian McKellen

Robert Prosky

Jurgen Prochnow

How the heck can you go wrong with these pieces of the puzzle???

Well it did. I enjoyed the film, but in more of a nostalgic '80's kinda way. But the music just didn't match the atmosphere of the film. 1941 Nazi & Tangerine Dream? Didn't really fit. Reminded me of the pop-synth score of Ladyhawke, which also was an odd pairing. I kept expecting Tom Cruise to slide across The Keep in his Ray Bans & underwear.

I think it was a little head of its time.
