How are the extra cues… do they add anything or more just the same? There suites of the material used in the film. So it's the same a lot, just an hour instead of 2. There's one short cue which jas a really cool rendition of The Plot MaxMovieMan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stark 513 Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 The suites are far superior to the actual score, imo. This seems to be a pattern with Balfe… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thestat 404 Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 Yes, there is some good stuff here but is this not just endlessly repetitive material on the same endlessly repetitive material? Balfe does a variation on Jones' Last of the Mohicans theme, twists it back to Schifrin's MI, and round and round we go, no variation of instrumentation or melodic intent. Then annoying/anxious violins repeating the same pattern with minor modulations in brass with sketches of Lalo. Wow. Edmilson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Who 974 Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 I was listening to Jack Reacher today and the score Krämer wrote (the 2 first cues are good examples) kind of show what kind of sound McQ likes for these types of movies. Balfe’s MI scores have something in common with this sound and I’m surprised that McQ didn’t just ask Kraemer for this type of sound already on MI5 as he can clearly do it. I personally enjoy all MI scores more or less but Kraemer’s score is definitively one of the better ones (doesn’t beat Ghost Protocol though)!

thestat 404 Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Actually liked Dead Reckoning and its score, despite my misgivings about Balfe as a non-composer. Interesting when checking this score list that Joshua Pacey seems to be the one in charge of a lot of the great action stuff in the film. Anything credited with the fantastic stuff at the airport etc comes down to Pacey - I reckon a lot of this is Pacey, especially the string figure that comes in at about 0:59.
