5/5 Excellent Score
  by DariusF (Melbourne, Australia)
Very short review, I love John Powell's work, and this was another of his great jobs well done. All the tracks were interesting and I especially love the tracks 'Tunnel run' and 'Chopper chase' for their light metal feel.

4/5 Just alright
  by Timothy Tan Junhao
i bought this album after listening to the Bourne trilogies soundtracks, it's the same composer but i rather u get the latest work from john powell then the Italian Job Ost. This album is just an ok for me. Not highly recommended but if u loved the film very much, then u can go ahead to get the soundtrack as it gives u recaps.

5/5 My Favorite Movie Score!
  by Valerie Guastavino
This is a soundtrack with upbeat driving rhythms I never seem to tire of even after nearly 3 years. Though, as with other reviewers I was disappointed about so many tracks by other artists not being included.

One of my favorite non John Powell tracks was the transition music just after the Venice heist to the cast being in the Alps.

For ages, I tried to locate the song "Girl and Posse Surf" by Paul Haslinger, but even after nearly 3 years was unable to do so.

Finally, with an email to the right person I discovered the awesome track which had long eluded me was not called "Girl and Posse Surf" after all.

The song is called "Let's Go" and can only be listened to via Mr. Haslinger's website. It can not be purchased on any soundtrack or any cd. Though, hopefully one day it will become available.

But, until then, if you love that particular piece of music in the "Italian Job", at least you can listen to it on Mr. Haslinger's website ([..]).

All other non John Powell tracks are available for download or purchase.

In summary, I would highly recommend John Powell's music score. It's great music to drive to, workout to, clean the house to etc.



2/5 No Money???
  by D. Hill (Chandler, AZ)
The one song I was looking to buy this for was 'money' buy velet revolver. I can't believe it is not on the soundtrack??? It played during the movie, then in the end credits - the guitar solo is killer!!!! How can they leave it off the soundtrack???? Yes that is correct, because of money...

4/5 It does not have all the music from the movie (alas, a dissapointment) but the score itself is...Good.

Like most, I became severely peeved when I bought this c.d. and realized that most of the songs I had had stuck in my head were not there. I was angry and strongly considered returning the c.d. when I looked at my receipt and low and behold, there, in small print where the words "cannot be returned if opened." And my c.d. (as it was) was opened. So, I gave a big sigh and stared at the c.d. for a while, then decided to get my eighteen bucks worth out of it. I stuck it in my boombox and decided to evaluate it.

The intellegence of this c.d. takes a while before it really hits you. Yes, it does not have all the songs from the movie on it, but in the grand scheme of things, it does not truly need it. I listened to the c.d. long and hard for a while before it struck me: This...is cool. John Powell, while having produced much better soundtracks (I am Sam, The Bourne Supremacy) proved himself as having a way with digital noises, drums, and orchastrations. This is a clever c.d. I like it. Listening to it when I'm at home loafing around is actually quite fun, and gives me time to really appreciate what a neat soundtrack this really is.

Anyway....This is a good c.d. It is catchy, and has a nice beat to it. I really enjoyed listening to it. However, be forewarned: This does not have the rock and techno tunes in it. If that's what you're looking for, move on. For the rest, buy this c.d. It is smart and clever. You'll like it.
