A sensational soundtrack that captures the movie perfectly!!4
I throughly enjoyed this movie...and the soundtrack isn't shabby either!! With great twists in the movie..the soundtrack captures all of that excitement and edge of your seat action! If you liked the movie and its suspenseful plot...get this soundtrack if its the last thing you do!!

full of suspense!!!5
I got this cd for christmas last year. I did not see the movie when i first listened to it, but the score does well on its own. I finally saw the movie when it came on cable and the score fits in with the movie perfectly! a great score!!!

Not a perfect score2
James Newton Howard is a great composer and he writes some excellent music for films. This, however is an exception. It is music that indeed fits the film perfectly and sounds great while the film is rolling, but on its own is not everything you would expect it to be. Howard scores this with the usual thriller scoring method used by most composers today, with creepy strings and punctuated brass hits here and there. "Main Title" sounds nothing like a trademark James Newton Howard theme with his signature on it. It did not leave any impression on me with no real theme to speak of, just some female soloist which is actually the highlight of the track. Cues such as "Ever Been To Be To Belize" (must be a misprint or something) and "That's Not Happiness To See Me" contain nervous violins with choir and sampled percussion. The tension getting music appears in "The Intruder", "The Attack", and "He's In The Kitchen", with Herrmann like strings. Unless you are a true fan of thriller scores with no thematic material and a bunch of random noises, this score you should probably stay away from. Better James Newton Howard scores include "Waterworld", "Atlantis", "Dinosaur", and "Signs" among others.
