The Mask of Zorro (1998)

The Mask of ZorroThe grounded-heel flamenco rhythm that opens up "The Plaza of Execution" immediately made me think "Oooh this is gonna be good!" And what a score! The fast tempo just drops you right into the middle of the action. The opening bass and the flamenco rhythms of "The Fencing Lesson" is a great formula. The quiet break and snapping guitar put the listener right back in the scene where Don Diego is trying to train the imbecile Alejandro. Then with "Tornado in the Barracks," the light-heartedness on top of action just doesn't stop with stunning guitar work. "Zorro's Theme," besides "The Confession," keep such a romance inside of all this action. A fantastic action score to an outstanding movie.
