As my first non-Star Trek Goldsmith CD, I was initially a little disappointed. It has a great main theme and the use of synths is acceptable and very effective. However, I initially found the score to be boring and uninspired. After listening to it again recently, I found I enjoyed it much more. It is dark and sinister and has some good action moments. I imagine that it looses a lot of context as I haven't seen the film, perhaps that would help. I honestly haven't listened to the songs so have no idea what they are like.
