Kill The Messenger could have easily been a simple and generic political thriller. However, with a composer like Johnson at the helm we get a score that goes beyond the established structure to give us something with just the right amount of uniqueness. By blending electronics with guitar and crisp percussion, we get a score that is able to hold the intense suspense of the story. Johnson finds way to make the score stylishly unique, such as the use of droning car horns to add this sense of dread. In the end there is plenty to admire in Kill The Messenger even if the score dances very close to the line of generic and formulaic.
