Reviews

"... film is as smooth as can be, with Carter Burwell's lively and inventive score demonstrating that unusual things can be done to give unexpected and imaginative punctuation to even the most generic action." - Todd McCarthy, Variety, August 4, 1997.

"...From the catchy rhythm of the 'Overture' to the outstanding theme in 'Riding', every minute of this score is a pure joy to listen to. This one is a head turner, a must have, a definitive masterpiece." - Helen San, Cinemusic.net
