The film’s soundtrack, composed by Cliff Martinez, is a character in itself. The ethereal, droning synth pulses evoke both the dreamlike quality of 1980s electronic music and the coldness of a heart monitor. Songs like “Nightcall” by Kavinsky and “A Real Hero” by College & Electric Youth become ironic counterpoints to Driver’s moral descent. “A Real Hero” plays as Driver drives Irene and her son along the Pacific Coast Highway—a moment of pure, deceptive peace before the bloodshed. The music tells us Driver wants to be a hero, but his actions prove he can only be a weapon.
