Title: Unusual choice of composer
Review: To me, Elliott Goldenthal was a surprise choice of composer for the movie, although critically acclaimed for several scores his only previous action movie was Demolition Man. For SWAT, one might have expected a score from the Media Ventures team, such as Harry Gregson-Williams (whose Spy Game score was used briefly on the trailer for SWAT).The result is an orchestrally based score, with heavy use of dischordant strings to emphasize the chaotic nature of the gun fights. Not having seen the film yet, I cannot comment how effectively this might work in the picture, but on CD it is not an easy listen. There doesn't appear to be an easily recognisable signature theme for our heroic `boys in blue' and the tense moments seem more akin to Alien3 than a cop movie. Although I enjoyed Goldenthal's work in "Heat", listeners looking for a pumped-up, pounding action score should go elsewhere.
