Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit – Music from the Motion Picture is the soundtrack to the 2014 action thriller film Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit based on the character Jack Ryan created by author Tom Clancy; the fifth film in the Jack Ryan series and the second reboot. Directed by Kenneth Branagh, the film stars Chris Pine as the titular character alongside Kevin Costner and Keira Knightley. The film's music is composed by Patrick Doyle and released digitally by Varèse Sarabande on January 14, 2014, and on physical formats on February 4.[1][2]
Background
[edit]Branagh's regular collaborator Patrick Doyle composed music for Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit.[3] Doyle eventually visited the film's sets in late-2012 to get the feel for the characterizations and the scope.[4] He recalled that Branagh wanted a piece of music for the specific scene which he had the theme the following day. He wrote the main theme at his recording studio while watching the edit.[5] The score was written for around seven months, unlike Doyle's usual projects which would take up to 3–4 months.[6] James Shearman conducted the London Symphony Orchestra.[6]
Reception
[edit]Filmtracks.com wrote "the score for Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit is disappointingly anonymous despite housing those five to ten minutes of solid highlights."[7] Pete Simons of Synchrotones assigned three-and-a-half out of five and wrote "this is a great example of a composer adapting to modern cinema, without losing his own voice".[8] Daniel Schweiger of Assignment X wrote "Patrick Doyle terrifically reboots himself along with Tom Clancy's action-hero analyst".[9] Peter Hartlaub of San Francisco Chronicle wrote "Patrick Doyle's pulse-quickening score is a huge asset".[10]
