Editor's review
Rona's score for Ray Liotta's new legal thriller blends classic noir elements with haunting tribal motifs and sleek electronica. It's an artful mix: the sharp beats and digital effects carry a modern edge, while flutes, strings, and polyrhythmic drums make the organic core an eerie one.

A sexy, stylish thriller, "Slow Burn" stars Ray Liotta as Ford Cole, a big-city district attorney with his eye on the mayor's office and a big problem on his hands. One of his deputies, the beautiful assistant district attorney Nora Timmer (Jolene Blalock), has just confessed to killing a man in what she claims was self-defense. A bad situation gets worse when an enigmatic stranger named Luther Pinks (James Todd Smith) turns up at the police station to contradict Nora's story and paint a very different picture of Ford's talented colleague. With his career and perhaps his life on the line, Ford has a mere handful of hours to sort the truth from the lies in a saga involving Nora, a record store clerk (Mekhi Phifer), and a powerful gang lord.
