"*** This is NOT a VARIOUS ARTISTS SOUNDTRACK from the awesome movie!
It is the ACTUAL MOVIE SCORE (instrumental background music of the movie) by Danny Elfman. Includes his new song "The Little Things" as the 1st track but this is the ONLY song on the CD! ***
An actual soundtrack version CD should exist, the end credits of the movie list all of the songs and it says "soundtrack available" but I'm still looking to find it.
[Note to GAMERS: The bonus disc version of the Wanted DVD has hidden player mode codes to the upcoming Wanted game which comes out in March '09.]"
Good Elfman Soundtrack

"When we talk about music and reviews and such - we are doing nothing more than giving our opinions. And those are relative.
Personally, I think this was a great score, and the only track I really didn't care about was "The Little Things".
The CD contains the soundtrack of the "Wanted" movie, mostly orchestral songs, some of them I clearly remember from the movie. They are a nice mix of orchestra, electronics and chorus, adequate to the action of the movie.
Another great work by Danny Elfman, and essential for all of us, Elfman Fans. Don't be misguided by all the negative reviews here. This is a nice, solid orchestral work - memorable and fun."
Fun !!!

"This is NOT a Bad Score The Only negative point : A lot of Cues that we heard in the movie are missing on the Album...
BUT, this is not a Boring Elfman score.
A lot of Good tracks : Success Montage, Fox Story, Fraternity Suite, Breaking the Code and Fate
''The Little Things'' song by Elfman is enjoyable !!!
Welcome back Danny !!!

"It's great to have Danny Elfman return to the action movie! His score mit to the crazy action of the film very well. Any fan of his and/or film scores will enjoy this cd!!"
Good soundtrack!

"First of all, it's not fair to this album for all those people who are complaining that they can't just buy 'The Little Things'. The reviews here are supposed to encompass the ENTIRE album, not just one song. Just cause you can't get one song by itself doesn't mean this album deserves one star.
Anyhow, this is a pretty good Elfman soundtrack. Not his best, but certainly not bad either. If you like film music, and certainly if you like Elfman, get this score! :)"
