I won't use much time and energy on this user comment, other then letting of some steam on the one aspect that ruins this movie as a whole: the soundtrack.

I do not know wether it's composer Hans Zimmer's fault (even masters can have a moment where they show a total lack of common sense) or director Tony Scott. This truly has to be the best example ever presented to a wide audience, of a cool movie that is clubbed to death by it's soundtrack. And I'm not kidding. There is about ten minutes of total silence in the movie, other than that it is jam packed with non-stop songs from the Rolling Stones and Nine Inch Nails, not that one or two matters, but through the whole movie!?!? As if the talent of Hans Zimmer doesn't cut it!

If you weren't dumb when you sit down to watch this movie you sure will be after it's over, your brain beaten to a bloody pulp by the loudspeakers!

Guard your ears...
