Along Came a Spider - 04/10 - Critique de Tom Daish, ajouté le (Anglais)
After the critically well received Kiss the Girls starring Morgan Freeman and with a score by Mark Isham we have the follow up, this time directed by Lee Tamahori. His previous film, The Edge was scored by Goldsmith - a lecture featuring both director and composer I attended was certainly an illuminating hour, together with the chance to meet the great composer himself. After his first film, Once Were Warriors, Tamahori doesn't seem to have been able to recapture any of the magic which made that debut so successful. Along Came a Spider has been accused of not having enough or having too much plot of being clever or being obvious. Essentially, nobody seems to agree on its effectiveness as a thriller with Freeman as a detective trying to track down a serial killer. The chances of it ever being theatrically released in Guernsey are small at best.

Tamahori evidently enjoyed working with Goldsmith on The Edge and his music features here. It gets off to an extremely unpromising start with stuttering synth effects that (with a little suggestion from the film's title) come across as a sound effect to a giant spider from a sci-fi film. However, this is soon added to with an electronic beat until glimmers of the orchestra finally make they way into the texture. The score then proceeds down the well worn action and suspense formula and only really during the brassy outbursts does the score really come alive. Goldsmith's suspenseful meanderings, often featuring one of his synth effects from Star Trek: Insurrection are no doubt worthy in the film, but pretty unexciting on disc. Cues such as Megan Overboard start with a couple of minutes of tedium and only when the brass and strings break out does it become worth listening to.

This is just the type of score where I'd likely be pointing out that while it's not exactly brilliant, is probably better than most composers could have managed. Partially true in this instance; the Goldsmithian action writing is some of his more aggressive of recent times, but doesn't really amount to more than the sum of its parts. The score's tone is consistent, even if there is little in the way of obvious recurring thematic material. Not a total disaster, but I'd suggest that Howard Shore or perhaps Carter Burwell could have concocted something more interesting, although in fairness this isn't the kind of film that demands anything particularly innovative. Not likely to be remembered in years to come, but the skills of a solid craftsman are still evident, even if the result can't whip up much enthusiasm in the listener.
Along Came a Spider - 06/10 - Critique de Arvid Fossen, ajouté le (Néerlandais)
Psycholoog en schrijver Alex Cross (Morgan Freeman) geraakt verwikkeld in een kidnappingszaak, waar het motief van de dader Gary Soneji (Michael Wincott) is om in de geschiedenisboeken een plaats te veroveren als beroemdste kidnapper ooit. Elk van zijn daden is gepland als dat van een spin die haar web weeft. Samen met geheimagente Jezzie Flannigan (Monica Potter) begint een afmattende zoektocht ... Jerry Goldsmith componeerde een spannende thriller score. Goldsmith komt naar in deze score misschien niet zeer origineel uit de hoek, maar wel met een score die werkt. Hij ontleende voor duidelijk heel wat materiaal van L.A. confidential en duidelijk herken je het thriller piano thema, dat in Along Came a Spider een zeer goede uitwerking heeft. In plaats van de jazzy stijl van L.A. Confidential is dit een score met een stevig orkest waar actie afwisselend door strijkers en blazers wordt gebracht. De hele score is doorweven met speciale elektronische geluiden die het spider motief benadrukken door een effect van trillende draden. Dit geeft een griezelig effect en bekomt dus zeker zijn uitwerking. Van de andere kant mist deze score toch iets, ongetwijfeld door het ontbreken van een sterk thema, en coherentie is enkel te vinden in de elektronische effecten.
