| Synopsis: The story centers on
Godlock (Joel Kinnaman), a father on a mission to avenge his
young son, who was tragically caught in the crossfire of gang
violence on Christmas Eve. Catalina Sandino Moreno also stars
in the film as Saya, Godlock’s wife, while Harold Torres will
take on the role of the gang leader, Playa. Robert Archer Lynn
wrote the screenplay, which contains no dialogue. Instead, the
film will rely on the actor’s abilities to convey meaning and
intention through Woo’s stylized imagery and intense action
sequences.

A NOTE FROM
THE COMPOSER |
|
The fact that the making character cannot speak
and is
overcome with anger, frustration, and grief meant that the music
had to provide an emotional window into his thoughts. Buck and I
started with this simple motive that we first played with
when we had two pianos tuned to 1 tone apart. It’s this
repeated figure that felt very much in tune with Godlock’s obsession, and
John responded immediately to it. The key to creating the
music was to write a simple melody that also contained the seeds of
Godlock’s emotional bond with his lost son. When harmonized, this theme
transforms into the music heard at the gravesite, in his son’s bedroom, and at
the end of the
film. |
