Amazon.co.uk Review
Although this is touted as the complete score, it's sad to report that in fact you'll need the original album as well. An 11-minute interview with Arnold is a novelty included at the cost of missing a cue ("Station Break") and his song "Surrender", featuring k.d. lang, which should have rightfully taken its place sequentially here after the prologue extravaganza of "White Knight". However, these are the only things you can complain about because this collection does otherwise make up for the previous release's short-changing of the buyer. The action-packed final third of the film's score is all here now, including Arnold's own favourite, the romantically yearning touch for Wai Lin in "Bike Shop Fight". Typical of the genre, it then explodes into some dynamically written action scoring which is full of varied ethnic percussion. Other highlights to be grateful for include the Eastern interlude of "Kowloon Bay", the rhythmic fury of "Bike Chase", and the ultimately resolving quietude of "All In A Day's Work". The collaboration with the Propeller heads ("Back Seat Driver") is still here, and retrospectively makes enormous sense played as a double act into the logical progression of The World Is Not Enough. --Paul Tonks
