Stanley Clarke is a great film composer

This film was the first time I've ever taken notice of Stanley Clarke's musical film composition skills. I think he saved this film, personally. His music was so cool and swinging, he made the film very enjoyable. I remember two scenes in particular: the flashback scene where Wesley Snipes character remembers how his girlfriend was killed, and when Wesley Snipes goes to the power meeting in the exclusive all-white restaurant in his red corvette. Very cool music makes very cool movie.
