Horribly distracting musical score

Rating: 4/10 (22 June 2013)

Like so many great ideas for movies that have come about, once they turn into screen written form, they fall apart. I won't spoil the ending here, but the building conflict between the two main characters came to an unsatisfying ending for me. More importantly, the worst part about this movie was its musical score. I cannot think of another movie, including B-movies and spoofs, that included background music that was so distracting to watching and listening to the actors on screen. The drama and mood that the score's composer tried to create was simply not a match for the accompanying story line to which it was associated. Not only that, but the sound editors on this movie should be sent back to film school, because the volume of the music was consistently too loud to hear what the actors were saying. All in all, this was a very disjointed effort, and a shameful waste of Daniel Day Lewis's immense talents.
