The Score

Composer Lionel Cohen delivers a sharp, nostalgic, and rhythmically charged score for the 2023 crime drama Inside Man. Channeling the iconic energy of 1970s heist and police cinema, Cohen's compositions act as a direct homage to the legendary Lalo Schifrin. Expect heavy percussion sections, syncopated jazz-funk rhythms, and the kind of high-tension, cinematic suspense that defined the golden age of grit.

Featured Song

Original Song · From the Film

Kill It Again

Track 11 on the score also exists as a full-throttle rock song created specifically for Inside Man — a raw, electric counterpoint to the jazzy orchestral palette of the score. Where the rest of the album locks into cool, syncopated grooves, Kill It Again drops the hammer, bringing grit and muscle to the film's most visceral moments.
