Title: Foolish movie. Great soundtrack. Typical Burwell.
Review: This movie was quite the pile of dung. But the soundtrack, that MUSIC is so solid that it's certainly one of the most ingenious scores in the last decade. Much hype has been ascribed toward the Library of Congress remixes, songs featuring new background beats coupled with pleasant nego-songs (see also Moby's remixes from his Play album for a close comparison). Those songs are the highlight, no question, but Burwell's songs are not to be overlooked.Echoes of Fargo, Hamlet, Barton Fink, and The Man Who Wasn't There are present here, but Burwell isn't a leech when it comes to his music, and he takes a splendind, darker direction with this score than, yes, even Fargo and Hamlet - as dark as those were.Burwell aficionados won't be disappointed here, neither will fans of darker film scores along the lines of David Julyan's Memento, Thomas Newman's Flesh and Bone, and especially Philip Glass' Fog of War.
