The Bag Man is a taut crime thriller that follows the story of Jack, a tough guy with chronic bad luck but human touches. Hired by Dragna, a legendary crime boss to complete a simple but unusual task, the plot centres around the anticipated arrival of Dragna who has summoned Jack and a host of shady characters to a remote location for unknown reasons. When Dragna finally arrives on the scene there are sudden and extreme consequences for all...

The score to The Bag Man is composed by Tony Morales and Edward Rogers. Personally, I found nothing of real interest in this album's 14 tracks (34 min). In fact, the first time I listened to it I was surprised that I couldn' think of a single thing to comment on.

Sadly, this is bland, atmospheric filler material, designed to sit in the background of the film and not get noticed. As a consequence it makes for a rather dull listening experience when you take away the visuals. Maybe fans of the film will find much to like here, but personally it isn't a score I'd want to listen to again in a hurry.
