Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Bruce Willis, Billy Bob Thornton, and Cate Blanchett play an unlikely trio of bank robbers in Barry Levinson's outlaw comedy, and this eclectic soundtrack reflects the quirky personalities of their characters. Heard quietly under the film's opening credits, Bob Dylan's "Tweedle Dee & Tweedle Dum" refers to the bickering duo played by Willis and Thornton, while two '80s hits by Bonnie Tyler ("Holding Out for a Hero" and "Total Eclipse of the Heart") virtually define the neglected housewife-on-the-run played by Blanchett. You'll have to listen closely to hear some of these songs in the film, and two tracks ("Walk on By" and "Wildfire") are exclusive to this release. And while there's not much connective thread from one song to another, their sequencing has an idiosyncratic appeal, just like the film itself. From the soothing effect of Mark Knopfler's "Rudiger" to Five for Fighting's whimsical hero's lament "Superman (It's Not Easy)," these songs convey the same emotional range explored in Christopher Young's "Bandits Suite," a score sampler that closes the disc with instrumental flare. --Jeff Shannon Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - a must have!This is a AWESOME soundtrack. I love the movie and everytime I watch it I see more depth. It is sneaky funny in some parts and just hilarious in others. The movie would not be as good however, without this amazing compilation of songs. They fit the changing moods perfectly. I listen to it the car and at home. The movie introduced me to a couple songs I hadn't heard and reminded me of some I had forgotten. You can enjoy it over and over. Rating: - Well worth the buy & listenGreat soundtrack with a very good selection of mixed artists and differing styles of music from Tanita Tikarim to Bob Dylan. The soundtrack is great on it's own, but is even better if you have seen the movie. The U2 song in the movie, probably should have been included as well, but you never know why it wasn't. It is still worth the listen though! Rating:  - A Great ListenThis was a great buy. I don't buy many Soundtracks...only when the music in the film really hits me...often I don't even notice that there is any! First thing I said when I saw this film was that I would buy this CD. I actually didn't rate the film that highly, although enjoyable. The CD though, is great. I love the fantastic final track 'Bandits Suite'. It's hard to compare it or recommend it based on music tastes, as the make up of the CD is quite varied... from Tanita Tikaram to Bonnie Tyler (Both of Bonnie's songs I must admit, I struggle to listen to due to having heard them both so many times over the years!) Just a really good listen. Rating: - A film where the music makes senseThere are many little things that would probably go unnoticed in this movie, were it not for soundtrack. I'm thinking of the scene in which Cate Blanchett loses herself in that meal preparation, only to have her almost unbelievably insensitive husband show up to inform her that he won't be eating any of it. It's the music and the life it creates for her that shows the dichotomy of her world; and so, when she inadvertently escapes, we believe it. Are Bruce Willis, Billy Bob Thornton, and Blanchett superb? Yes. But it's the music that underscores the acting and directing brilliance. Rating:  - But were is MSI!?????Yes, this album is very very incomplete. Aside from the great U2 not being there, where the heck is Mindless self indulgence(my favorite band )??? They were played for like a minute and a half when Bruce willis and that other guy walk in on that young guy and that girl making out. It was a song called kill the rock and its great. So i don't know why they didn't put it there! |
