Highlander: Endgame by Stephen Graziano and Nick Glennie-Smith
01/02/2007 . Source: Sue Davies 
CD: GNP Crescendo GNPD 8067. 15 tracks 62 minutes. Price: $12.98 (US- if you buy direct off them). Buy Highlander: Endgame in the USA - or Buy Highlander: Endgame in the UK  check out website: www.gnpcrescendo.com/
The final film, 'Highlander: Endgame', in a variable series sees the introduction of the TV McLeod (Adrian Paul) who teams up with the original Highlander, Connor played by Christopher Lambert. This is to be the last outing of the immortals who must battle through time to be 'the one'.
Opening with the tantalising Bonny Portmore theme, the soundtrack sounds promising. This Celtic song has become inextricably linked to 'Highlander', first featured in the third film and across six seasons.
The film music was composed by Nick Glennie Smith and Stephen Graziano and places a strong emphasis on traditional film score rather than the magic that was Queen in the original movie.
The only track that stood out for me was the opening traditional folk tune. I found the rest of the soundtrack bland. There are fifteen tracks and the most interesting thing about them is the titles. Who could fail to thrill to the words 'Duncan Visits The Loft' and 'Heather Cuts Her Hair'? Its composition does not bear comparison to the budget-stretching and captivating tracks put together by Queen. It is typical TV-movie fare and that is doing a mis-service to many TV movies. Nothing here would lead me to believe that there is anything worth seeing in the film. A great disappointment and I don't recommend a purchase unless you're a real fan.
