Marco Beltrami may have borrowed heavily from the Westerns of Sergio Leone for director James Mangold’s cool actioner but 3:10 remains inventive enough to bring a fresh approach to a well-established genre. Nominated for an Academy Award, 3:10 is not your average Western and the score reflects Beltrami’s absolute understanding of both the traditional and modernistic aspects of Mangold’s vision. He has also employed experimental techniques, such as adapting a regular piano with fish wire to create a mandolin-esque sound and using the piano’s pedal to create a creaking effect, that bring additional rhythm and texture to the score. ‘Chinese Democracy’ and ’One For The Road’, along with the ‘The 3:10 To Yuma’ represent probably the most memorable cues, propelled by a melodic main theme, while ‘Barn Burn’, demonstrates a mature knowledge of just how important a score is in creating the right type of filmic atmosphere. Beltrami’s best so far.
