Editorial Reviews

Mel Gibson's entry in to the '90s' morally ambiguous comic-crime-drama sweepstakes (successfully heralded by films like Pulp Fiction, Get Shorty, and Out of Sight) hardly breaks any fresh ground cinematically, but it's hard not to like its song collection and score. The tunes are a delightful, hipster-oriented romp through the tender, reflective side of testosterone (including Dean Martin's "You're Nobody Till Somebody Loves You," "It's a Man's, Man's, Man's World" by James Brown, and Lou Rawls's "If I Had My Life to Live Over") that set a suitably ironic tone kicked off by Dino's "Ain't That a Kick in the Head." Unusual for this kind of collection, Chris Boardman's fine instrumental underscore (a driving pastiche of early-'70s cop-show big-band funk and moody orchestral soundscapes) is represented by four tracks, including a tense, rollicking "Main Title" that recalls some of Lalo Schifrin's best early work. --Jerry McCulley

5 out of 5 stars A brief education.......2001-01-19

Studios don't "dump" songs from their soundtrack CDs. Some artists or their estates only give permission for songs to be used in the film but not on the CD. Or permission is granted, but the cost is too high. It's rare that you'll find a CD with every single song featured in a movie, even if it's a double CD. Class dismissed.

3 out of 5 stars ok.......2000-04-15

Tracks 8, 10 and 11 are great. The cd in general could have been better, but it reflects the movie which by the way was excellent.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent!.......1999-09-14

I'm already very familiar with the tunes that are on this CD. The songs that I'm after are the funky ones or the less known tunes. Can you help me with this or are these just filler tunes by studio musicians and can't be found?

5 out of 5 stars Where's Jimi Hendrix's VooDoo Child.......1999-08-15

To leave Jimi Hendrix's VooDoo Child made me dump this CD, TO BA

4 out of 5 stars Could have been just a touch better..........1999-08-11

Great sound track, till you see the movie...The choice to leave Jimi Hendrix's VooDoo Child leaves me cold to this CD, as it was a powerful part of the movie experience (no pun intended....it even sounded like it was a slightly different arrangement of the song as well
