Silva Screen Records releases Marco Beltrami’s score to the hard-nosed thriller, The Gunman. The film follows Jim Terrier, an ex-special forces government contractor whose past comes back to haunt him when his former employer tries to have him killed. Racing from the jungles of Africa to the streets of London and the beautiful city of Barcelona this tough thriller is directed by Pierre Morel who scored a worldwide hit with the Liam Neeson vehicle Taken...

Marco Beltrami's score for The Gunman is an entertaining listen, but I think on balance it's a soundtrack that works best in the movie. There are a few too many atmospheric pieces that are designed to sit in the background.

As a score to let wash over you while you do something that requires your full concentration, this will sit nicely in the background. It's an interesting enough score, just nothing that special.
