Three Days is a pleasant score, but it is at tremendous odds with the movie and the subject matter. Jarring.
Interesting. I’ve never felt this way at all.
Very simple. I find the score very, very lightweight for a thriller. The director and the composer may have used this approach to subvert expectations, but it doesn't really matter because most people seem to favor the film the way it is. It was only jarring to me.

I don't think Pollack or Grusin were trying to subvert expectations. In the 70s, this is what tension sounded like. Listening to it just now, it seems like the early 1970s musical equivalent of John Powell's early 2000s The Bourne Identity, and of similar "weight."
But as you say, one man's lightweight is another man's intense.
