Search - Ry Cooder :: Last Man Standing: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

A weird but worthwhile score.

"Thematically poor it may well be but this is a great CD. Elmer Bernstein was hired originally to do the score and altho his music was impressive it just didn't fit the tone of the movie. Ry Cooder has hit the mark with his score .The opening music is the most distant and morbid I have ever heard. It's great and really makes us feel was Bruce Willis is feeling in the movie. So far away and distant this score almost becomes tragic in places. Track 13 is a classic and 20 and 24 create a VERY downbeat tone. This is an unmissable CD."

A breakthrough!

"If you've reached this space, you've obiously seen the movie. If you haven't, go see it right away! A bit matcho it is, yes, but Bruce Willis does a great job at playing tough, and my the actors in this movie are all great. So heck, go see it!Ok, I am going to talk to those of you who have seen the movie. Did you like the background music in the movie, and thought to yourself: "Wow, that music is wonderful, I have to have it."Well think no more about it then. The creators of this soundtrack CD has obviously done their homework. Almost ever background tune you heard in the movie, IS ON THIS CD. That means a lot of quality guitar mood music, taken of course from Last man Standing. Great music for romantic occasions, relaxing, and daydreaming.Some would-be soundtracks get neglected, and released just for that extra buck. But if all soundtracks / scores were this great, I would have no trouble hitting the "buy" button of the movies were I thought the background music ruled!"
