dreadful soundtrack
Mike Oldfield might be a talented musician and I don't mind experimenting with the soundtracks of war movies, but this one is just too much. The nervous electronic score in this one set a strange mood for me which at times didn't fit into the context at all - although there were some good scenes with excellent ambient music, the anticipating and frightening tunes with preceded some of the scenes were way too strange.
The movie was great, but at times the music strangled the story a lot. Oldfield's score sounded like a bad imitation of Kubrick's "Clockwork Orange" soundtrack, which in my opinion is pure perfection, considering the awkward feel of the story - an outstanding example of a good soundtrack. Further, Kubrick's great Vietnam movie, "Full Metal Jacket" also had perfect music.
It's my opinion anyhow.
