Inspector Gadget | On the trail of Doctor Claw | 04/13/2002
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Every soundtrack collector should own this CD. Zimmer uses the music to explore a zillion different moods and atmospheres. From sad to sinister and action-packed to supersonic. He uses everything at his disposal. Childrens choirs with angelic and haunting voices, heavy guitar melodies, pounding drums, sad trumpets, booming synth and eerie bells. I'm not kidding Zimmer gives it everything he's got and has created a highly thematic and engaging score. Each track has at least 3 highlights and is sure to excite. Tracks 1-2, 4-5 and 6-7 are linked together and Track 8 uses all the best themes in an 8-minute overture that is, without a single iota of doubt, concert material. Buy this CD poste-haste and cherish it. It is very cool indeed. Very cool."
The Best Soundtrack Ever Made!
Sean L. | Twin Peaks, USA | 07/26/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)
"The soundtrack to "Broken Arrow" is truly a masterpiece from start to finish. Hans Zimmer makes beautiful scores for the first three minutes of each track, then dives into them and makes a tour de force of music magic! Don't get turned off because the CD only has eight tracks. The average time for each track is about eight minutes. If you're a film buff, then you have no business not owning this album."
A Techno Take on Spaghetti Western Themes

(4 out of 5 stars)
"This is definately one fun score. The themes are not quite as serious as those in "The Rock" and "Crimson Tide", and Zimmer's scoring style tends to wander more toward a "western" style with a cool guitar theme for Deakins. Make no mistake though, the action sequences are not below par at all for Zimmer. Each of the tracks features some pretty cool action music. The track titled "Mine" first introduces Hale's theme, a driving action theme that perfectly matches his heroic on-screen persona as portrayed by Christian Slater. The same theme plays near the end of the CD where Hale defeats Deakins in an epic fist fight to the finish. Different from other Zimmer scores for sure, but highly enjoyable. If you're a fan of Zimmer, Trevor Rabin or any of the other Media Ventures gang, check this CD out!"
