Harry Gregson-Williams composed the film score in his second collaboration with Affleck after Gone Baby Gone (2007),while David Buckley served as the co-composer.[1] Much of the score was written in early-2010,however,by July 2010,with the post-production being incomplete,Gregson-Williams had written around an hour of score and with few of them were excluded to suit the final edit. The final score album consisted of 16 cues with a 41-minute duration.[2][3]
Reception
Filmtracks wrote "The electronic techniques utilized here are beyond the days of their intelligent usefulness,especially in an album presentation,and Gregson-Williams and Buckley fail to adapt the thematic base of the score into these suspense cues with any of the convincing intrigue that a film like this deserves" calling it "a frustratingly underachieving and generic score."[4] William Ruhlmann of AllMusic wrote "This is music to keep an audience on the edge of its seat,as expressed on a soundtrack album listeners will be able to use to test their woofers."[5] A reviewer from ReadJunk described it "an okay score from Harry Gregson-Williams and David Buckley but could have been better".[6] Michael Rechtshaffen of The Hollywood Reporter wrote "The treacly score by Harry Gregson-Williams and David Buckley,on the other hand,tends to distract rather than enhance."[7] Justin Chang of Variety and Lee Marshal of Screen International called it "lenient" and "distracting".[8][9]A. O. Scott of The New York Times wrote "the main attraction is the blaring music of those accents."[10]
