Aboslutely. The score really has quite nice flow.

So true. Zimmer has a unique style, part of what I dig 'bout him.

Indeed a darn good track...real nice ambient build up, heartbreaking tragedy music, and then probably my favorite performance of the main theme. However, It is missing some music, not sure if it is before or after Willis comes back down, where there is a very cool acceleration to the music.

I must strongly disagree here...this track is simply awesome. I love the huge dramatic (Indeed PH "attack" like) and then come the crashing rythms and Lebo M wailing on top of it...fantastic It's media Ventures Action music but DARK, with lots of desperation. Not at all bland!
