James Newton Howard is one of the best talents working in the industry today. So far this year his score have been a bit all over the place...
The Last Airbender was a terrific score even if the film wasn t. Then we have Nanny McPhee Returns, which is an easily forgettable effort. However, when it comes to action and espionage films we are usually always treated to a fun melodic ride. Does Salt provide that? Yes and no. The score is indeed an aggressive action score propelled with percussion and electronics. Now, when it comes to espionage films James Newton Howard is the king. The Fugitive still stands as one of the best scores for these kinds of films, but I m not going to even begin to try and compare Salt to The Fugitive. They are two completely different films minus the whole fugitive aspect.
