Synopsis

A Prayer for the Dying

Martin Fallon is an I.R.A. bomber who tries to blow up a troop truck, but instead kills a bus load of school children. He loses heart and quits the movement and goes to London trying to leave the U.K. and start a new life.

The I.R.A. wants him back (he knows too much) and the local crime boss, Meehan, will only help him if he performs one last hit, on a rival crime boss. When Fallon does perform the hit, he is seen by a Catholic priest.

He refuses to kill an innocent again, and must find a way to escape the police without killing the priest who can identify him.

Paul Garcia

2/10

The use of generic, cliché soundscapes in the soundtrack detracted from the film's authenticity and depth. Instead of enhancing the suspense and tension, the music often felt like an afterthought, undermining the impact of crucial moments in the plot.

Richard Carter

The orchestration and arrangement of the music elevate key moments in the plot, adding a sense of grandeur and significance to the narrative.

Kenneth Martin

7/10

The music complements the visual elements of the film beautifully, creating a cohesive and immersive cinematic experience for the audience.

Jennifer Allen

6/10

On the other hand, I found some tracks in the soundtrack to be repetitive and lacking in originality. While the music serves its purpose in enhancing the action sequences, it doesn't leave a lasting impression or stand out as particularly memorable compared to other film scores in the same genre.

George Jones

8/10

The music seamlessly transitions between suspenseful moments and introspective scenes, enhancing the tension and emotional impact of the film.

Brian Moore

1/10

The overall production quality of the soundtrack was disappointing, with poorly mixed audio levels and jarring transitions between tracks. This detracted from the viewing experience, making it difficult to fully immerse myself in the world of the film.

David Moore

8/10

The use of traditional Irish music elements in the soundtrack adds a layer of authenticity and depth to the storytelling, enhancing the overall viewing experience.
