SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 2:26 Min.
Despite appearing out of order as Track # 8, this ominous Ennio Morricone instrumental foreshadows the showdown between Elliot Ness’ intrepid squad vs. Al Capone’s horde of Chicago mobsters. The orchestra isn’t identified.
REVIEW:
This superb track inflicts maximum impact in only two and a half minutes. Ennio Morricone delivers an ideally sinister preview of the dangers the Untouchables face, with Al Capone’s forces seemingly lurking at every corner. As a signature piece of cinematic scoring, “The Strength of the Righteous” deserves its place among the best-ever main titles.
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 9 Stars
