4.0 out of 5 stars What a score!, 11 Mar 2004
The main attraction of this album is the stunning score by Hans Zimmer. It definitely has an 80's/early 90's feel to it (very synthesized and electronic sounding) but it is powerful, and at times breathtaking, thanks largely to the use of a solo female voice shrieking and whooping at various points during the music. Anybody who loves the film would do well to get this, as it evokes the movie very well, even though the tracks here have been re-arranged for this album. You may have a hard time finding this soundtrack though as the film was called "The Assassin" in the UK, so why didn't they re-name the soundtrack? Anyway, it's one of my favourite soundtrack albums, and even the Nina Simone songs aren't bad.

5.0 out of 5 stars YOU CROSS THE POINT FROM THE MOMENT YOU PUSH "Play", 25 May 2008
By NeuroSplicer (Freeside, in geosynchronous orbit) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
This movie was one of the rare exceptions of remakes being comparable to the original - and it comes with one of my all time favorite OSTs. Not only did it introduce me to the haunting voice of Nina Simone but it also contains some of Hans Zimmer most unusual work.

The first four (instrumental) tracks are powerful and melancholic, whereas the last five are a good collection of Nina Simone's most powerful songs.

This soundtrack can be enjoyed even without having seen the movie but I would advise not to miss on it.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

4.0 out of 5 stars Some classic tracks..., 9 Dec 2006
By Read Me (West Midlands, UK) - See all my reviews
This is a brilliant cd which I have to buy after my original cassette got chewed up, I listened to it that much!
The Hans Zimmer tracks are very 80s synth - not that that's a bad thing. They work more in context if you've seen and enjoyed the film, but otherwise they are good atmospheric music.
The Nina Simone tracks are priceless however. For any fans of Nina Simone these tracks must be among the best. This is the only album I know of which has Brilliant versions of these - not dodgy live versions or old crackly background versions.
Try this soundtrack as it may surprise you.
