I think the film makers did a good job. Believe me, it could have been much worse. They did use too much score throughout the entire film. I always cringe at films like that. It's like the director didn't trust his cast to carry the emotion of any particular scene. In the beginning, when Rickey was announcing his plan, the whole overly dramatic underscore killed it for me. It didn't need any music at all. There were also a couple scenes where the birds were so loud it was distracting... Just some thoughts from a sound guy... I bet there was more then one guy on that project who attempted to talk 'em out of the reel to reel film score. It was definitely the easiest problem to fix.
